DOSBox sans CPU emulation?

[Richter X]

Is there something like DOSBox that doesn't emulate the CPU? I only need the Sound Blaster and its FM Synthesis part to play Tyrian with sound. I use WinME.

VDM Sound only works under NT4 (I think) and above; the VDM comes from the end acronym of NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine; the DOS emulator of the OS itself).

So running 9x isn't going to help you there. Actually, to my knowledge, unless you have a DOS driver (Or a Win32 driver that grants support under COMMAND.COM) for your sound card, you're basically SOL.

you should be worrying about more important things, like upgrading your OS <img src=smilies/erm.gif>

Or for DOS stuff go back to Win98SE

Yes, but then I'd be better off buying a new machine as XP costs too much and my system is too slow for it.

Considered trying 2000 Professional? Definitely better than ME, and (I believe) lower system requirements than XP.

It uses less RAM and disk space because there's less overhead. Other requirements are pretty much the same.

I ran 2000 Pro on a P133 laptop with 48MB of RAM. (Would have used Linux, but the weirdass video controller had no drivers - VESA mode only.)
