Hello everyone. I have been pondering for a while if I can run my games using DOSBox and get the original sound using VDMSound. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about doing this? Thanks, Tiny.

no. dosbox and vdmsound can not be used together.

Why would you want to do it anyway? DOSBox emulates all the sound cards VDMSound does, as far as I know.,

Ok, thanks. I was just wondering since I have both of the programs. Tiny

errmm..... both programs do almost the same... i use VDMsound most of the time... it didn't gave me any problems at all....

Actually you can do that. Just run dosbox with VDMsound and then input the usual commands to start a game.

Question is, what's the point? You'll only waste RAM and processor power that can be used for better purposes... ie playing games!

I never seen a game which took all this computer processing power Horseman. And if I would encounter such a game then I would immediatly flag it as a complete waste of time because no game is worth having 2 gigahertz of use on a computer only for graphics (including my graphic card). Indeed, what else could a computer use power for nowaday?

it shouldn't do a thing as vdmsound only works with dos programs and dosbox is a windows program.

That's true Eagle of fire but... i own a celeron 1.7ghz, 256 ddr, and a tnt2 32mb pci ... it's not big for playing new games but it's a HUGE machine for playing really old games..... but dosbox runs slow on my pc and some games run slow.... only a few games run smoothly on mi pc .... and some games on VDMsound too...
