: SBLive cards work fine in DOS! There are hidden drivers. They are not installed by default but are on the SBLive CD-ROM. I had a a PCI SBLive Value in my cab before I went to a MB w/ onboard sound. ArcadeOS didn't like it (no three beeps) but w/ MAME it worked fine.
: : I'm speaking of the SBLive cards. If I had less restraint I would be using this space right here to tell Creative Labs what a worthless piece of s... crap that they've put on the market. "OH ITS THE BEST CARD IN THE WORLD! IT CAN DO FREAKIN 10,000 VOICES MAN!!! YEAH BUT IT DOESN'T DO DOS GAMES MAN UNLESS YOUR MOTHERBOARD HAS NMI OR WHAT-THE-HELL-EVER, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOS GAMES THAT PEOPLE STILL PLAY. WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT!"
: : Has anyone been able to use a SBLive card in DOS Mame? If so, please help me out.
: : Thanks Creative. You can do a gazillion voices and have 4 speake output but you can't even run in freakin DOS. Wonderful product.
