SB Audigy 16-bit emulator?

[spork891]

I have heard that sound blaster audigy has a 16-bit emulator that would allow me to have sound in old dos games such as X-com. Trouble is, I don't know where to find it, anyone know where it is on the CD?

What OS are you using?

Wasn't it installed along with the rest of the drivers?

My old Live! X-Gamer installed right away and it didn't ask me if I wanted it.

Of course, I'm talking of a Win98FE system, things may be different in 2000 and/or XP.

Correct, there is no emulator for a NT-based OS, just 9x.

I'm using win98 SE I'm trying to get X-com to work with sound at the moment.

I found the drivers, they are in a directory called DOSDRV... but they didn't help. Still no sound. One of the applications I'm trying to run, ZSNES, isn't even a DOS app, I can't figure out what's going on.

Could you post a copy of your autoexec.bat and your config.sys files? Perhaps the needed lines are missing.

[spork891]

Actually youre probably right about that one. I don't really know how to work config.sys and autoexec.bat. I tried whenever I was really young and couldn't figure it out.

I'll post them as soon as I get home from work. ;-)

It's just going to be whatever the default is, I just go run>command.com

For the emulator to work, himem.sys and emm386.exe must be loaded in config.sys and there needs to be a set blaster= line in autoexec.bat. You can run sysedit to view and edit these files. Installing the emulator should make these changes for you.
