Old DOS game & no music

[caddmannq]

I'm trying to play an ooooold DOS game (Martian Memorandum) on a Win98se machine.

So far it works ok & the "soundblaster" digital sound works too, but I can't get the music to work.

The configuration choices are: Roland, Adlib, or none. My machine has AC97 on board (Epox 8KHA+)

Is there some way around this problem?

See if you can find the port address of your MPU401 device. It should be somewhere in with the settings of the sound driver...in Windoze's Device Manager probably.

My SB Live shows I have an MPU401 (midi) port at address 330 and an Adlib port at address 388.

Then somehow tell your game what that address is for the device.

You may have to resort to adding some lines to your autoexec.bat or config.sys files so the game can find the info it needs about the music port.

Thanks, Outie...
(Forgot I posted this on two forums!)

I'm not gonna try it quite yet, as I'm on another game...well two, and one other waiting ) It may be quite a while in fact.

Set an adlib device on your adlib port if all else fails.
P.S. You are lucky you aren't using an SB Live :P
