The last one is not a biggie though, usually General MIDI through DOSBox (using default Windows GMIDI softsynth) is good enough for "SCC-1" games.I tried using the "Guest Additions CD Image" provided by VirtualBox, but it doesn't run on this old version of Windows. Then I could give my Roland SCC-1 a rest. There was some pretty good software synth from Roland itself, but I recall it took quite a lot of CPU power, and I think it was discontinued a long time ago, I don't know what is the latest Windows release where it would still work anyway. Better Roland Sound Canvas (SCC-1) emulation. Then I could finally give my Roland CM-32L a rest. The current one (unofficial) is pretty crappy, or at least when I last tried it. Better Roland MT-32/CM-32L/LAPC-1 sound emulation in e.g. Then I could finally give my Win98 machines a rest.
For those few problematic games which seem to have issues in newer Windows releases (usually they fail already in WinXP) and/or new graphics drivers. Successfully virtualized Win98SE environment, with emulated Direct3D support. Two, or maybe three, things I'm still waiting for related to PC retrogaming: Not sure if installing a driver will work on a VM but worth giving a shot, you may have to extract files to a folder from the download then go to the device manager and manually update driver pointing to your extracted folder. So where do I get VM Additions S3 Trio32/64? You could try the HP Pavillion (desktop machine from that era that had a dedicated S3 VGA card). And all external download links are spam that want me to either send e-mail address or register (even ZDnet). It only gives me the ability to use DirectDraw, but not Direct3DĮDIT: Got it running in software mode but now the window doesn't scale.ĮDIT2: After more searching, Virtual PC 2007 had the drivers I need but the new one not anymore since there is no more Windows 98 support. Is there anything I need to install? I have DirectX 7 installed and Windows has automatically installed that S3 driver. Protoss: Strange, THPS2 doesn't want to run properly (can not see the menu) because it has no 3D.
