DosFreak 2 Posted August 1, 2006 NT3.x/4/2000/XP/2003/Vista all use NTVDM (an emulator that Windows uses so that your 16bit DOS/Windows programs will work in Windows). Only in WindowsXP/2003/Vista does the NTVDM offer sound emulation. (Extremly crappy sound emulation but at least it works). To get sound emulation in Windows 2000 your going to need to use VDMSound. The latest beta version (don't worry it's been tested thoroughly since 2003), can be found at http://vogons.zetafleet.com. It's also suggested to use VDMSOUND in XP and 2003 since there sound emulation isn't that great. and finally VDMSound was discontinued long ago. VDMSound only offers sound emulation and cannot fix many of the things that NTVDM breaks. The only solution to this is a full emulation product called http://dosbox.sourceforge.net DOSBOX. The VDMSound code was integrated in DosBox a long time ago so it has the same great sound quality. Only problem with DosBox is that since it's a full emulator then if you have an old computer you probably will not have enough processing power to play your games in the emulator.
