Didn't work either. I had to work with Soundcard=0. And all I get is really choppy playback. And incorrect (as I guess that dying on the first thing that appears isn't part of playing like a master.

)

Too bad.

Do you install DOS drivers for you soundcard? Is soundcard work correctly in DOS (with drivers must be software for test music and samples)? If this all is OK then playback must be OK.

1. cwsdpmi.exe

2. mame.exe rom_name -rompath path_to_rom -noscanlines -playback inp_name

Inp file must be in "Inp" directory.

3. and next choose SounBlaster from menu.

DOS drivers are useless for Windows XP. There simply is no DOS.

Yes. But if Emphatic boot from second disc 'win98' or only 'prompt mode' then he can use DOS drivers.

And the HD is only going to be readable if it's FAT32 format. Win9x/ME cannot read NTFS disks.

Yes if disk is in FAT32.

Mahlemiut's got a point there with the disc format. I only have NTFS drives.

And even If I did go through hell and installed Win98 just so I could watch the Psychic5 playback, I just feel that I have too much of a life to do it.

Create Fat32 partition.

Problem #2: Win9x must be installed on the first partition on the disc.

Talk about extreme downgrade... anyone replacing XP with 98 must be nuts.

My computer is old.
Much problems with XP.
But the only thing sure is... yes I'm a nut. But who care ?

I finally replaced the video card in my old Win98 machine so I could try it again.

Can run mame35b12 now...

-noscanlines was key...thanks des!

400Mhz, so not fast enough to record videos or anything
