I know it sound stupid, but it is realy a pain to find some software that:
The results from the test are:
This game is mainly designed for the AT, but somehow it does work in an XT too. The only difference is that the speed is about 2/3 it is on an AT. The game got support for a wide set of devices (from Hercules to EGA/VGA, from PC-Speaker to Roland, keyboard or joystic). It doesn't got pure SoundBlaster support, but it got AdLib support.
With the PC-speaker as sound-device, it works great, but it takes a while to load.
With AdLib as sound-device, It runs fine, I get sound, but when I exit the program, my XT locks up on the DOS-prompt (just as if the keyboard has been de-attached).
Anyway, AdLib emulation does at least work with my SB Pro2 card in my XT.
- Utilizes the Soundblaster (or SB Pro)
- Is written in pure x86 (works with the 8088 in other words)
- Works with anything earlier than EGA (not including EGA)
- Runs right off a Floppy Disk
- Does not relay on the later revisions of the XT BIOS (Int 15h) or specialities of the AT-design (secondary DMA controller, etc...)
