Using VDMSound

Launchpad

WaveWriter

EmuPPDAC

SAPUCDEX

To use Launchpad:
Right-click on the DOS executable and choose "Run with VDMSound"

Some games require an undocumented call be used in order to function with sound and without crashing. To do this, add the following to the "Custom Configuration" textbox:

[VDMServicesProvider.config]
fixPOPF = 1

More help with using Launchpad can be found here.

To use WaveWriter:
In LaunchPad go to "Advanced", "Troubleshooting". Check the "Custom Configuration" box and copy/paste the following in the custom configuration text box:

[SBWavePlayer.depends]
waveOut = WaveWriter

[WaveWriter]
CLSID = DiskWriter.WaveOut
Path = DiskWriter.dll

This will output .wav files to your current (typically the game's) directory. If you want to specify your own directory (e.g. C:\My Music) then add the following two lines as well:

[WaveWriter.config]
Path = C:\My Music

Or just add those lines to your VDMS.INI file if you run VDMSound from command-line.
