| Status | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 | Mod Master XT | Sound crackling at 13KHz and 44.1KHz, Not working on Slow PC |
Test done on a Pentium 75.
Sound Blaster is done via DMA emulation. This require to use one interrupt to do 2 actions.
Then, lot of games autodetection fail. For example, Sierra games fail to detect, but it is possible to patch them....
Due to its emulation nature, Sound Does not work if EMM386 is loaded with Protected mode games.
Sometimes, a game fail to init SB and crash the sound, so, other games will fail after it.
