Title: Bochs sound emulation issues in XP?
Post by: redrumloa on January 01, 2006, 10:43:08 PM

Hey guys, I'm setting up Win98 under Bochs under XP. So far everything is going fairly well expect sb16 emulation is choppy as hell. I have tried different values for the dmatimer with no big change.

My system has AthlonXp 3200, 1.5GB ram & SB Live Value.

Ideas?

Hi,

You could try QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu) - this provides a much faster emulation and the audio quality is generally better than when under Bochs.

It will also work with your existing Bochs hard drive file, so you won't have to sit there through the Win98 installation again. The only downside I've found with QEMU is that its virtual floppy disk support is poor (or at least it was when I last tried it a few months ago).

Hmm... the "FreeOSZoo" web site, where the Windows versions of QEMU usually live, appears to be dead...

But there's a Windows 32-bit version available here (http://qemu.dad-answers.com/download/win32/).
