I can see some problems with this boot disk because some of the files are being run off the boot disk and others are being run off the hard disk eg HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE, MSCDEX.EXE, MOUSE.EXE and these may be later versions of files tha would normally run with Win98. When the system is booted with this disk in, it says Starting Windows 98 and then boots up to a DOS prompt. Runs the SBEINIT program to initialize the SB16 emulation. Load high the mouse executable (only required if you need a mouse in DOS, location may be different).ġ0. Sets the location of the command program copied earlier (not actually required as it will default to a:\ if you leave this out).Ĥ-5. Sets the directory path so that when a command is type in at the DOS prompt it will look through all the directories named to try and fin it.ģ. Sets echo off so every statement following is not repeated to the screen as it is executed.Ģ. Lh c:\progra~1\micros~1\mouse\mouse.exe /qġ.
Path=a:\ c:\ c:\windows c:\windows\command c:\sblive d:\ Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT, again taking out most of the stuff, adding some stuff and ending up off Load various CD rom drivers that should cater for the majority of CD rom typesġ0. Load EMM386.EXE (for use by SB16 emulation)ģ -11. Added the first 2 lines and end up as follows:-Ģ. Edited CONFIG.SYS, took out most of the stuff that was in there. Deleted DRVSPACE.BIN, EBD.CAB, EBD.SYS, EXTRACT.EXE, FDISK.EXE, FINDRAMD.EXE, RAMDRIVE.SYS, README.TXT and SETRAMD.BAT from the Win98 boot disk.ĩ. Copied COMMAND.COM from Win98 boot disk to C:\BootDOSĨ. Searched for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE on C: drive and copied them to C:\BootDOSħ. Unzipped SBLIVE2SB16.ZIP into C:\SBLive.Ħ. Created a directory on C:\ called BootDOS.ĥ. Created a directory on C:\ called SBLive.Ĥ. Went here and downloaded SBLIVESB16.ZIP file containing SB16 emulation files.ģ. Went here and downloaded the BOOT98SE.EXE and ran it to create a Win98 boot disk.Ģ. (I did a lot of searching for the information but the sites that I mention is where I got what I needed, I have no affiliation with them and there may well be other sites that have similar information.).ġ. Ok here is how I went about creating a bootdisk that allows me to play some DOS games that I had problems with in WinMe and/or SBLive Value! card.
YOU CAN STILL FOLLOW THE METHOD OUTLINED BELOW OR SEE MY POST LATER IN THIS THREADĪS SOON AS I'VE DONE MY DOCUMENTATION I'LL POST AGAIN YOU CAN THEN RUN THEM TO CREATE A BOOT DISK AND PUT THE SB16 EMULATION FILES ON YOUR HARD DRIVE THE SELF EXTRACTING ZIP FILES ARE NOW READY READ ALL THE POSTS IN THIS THREAD TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GET THE FILES.
