Windows must be configured to use the Sound Blaster interface emulated by DOSBox before it will produce sound through it. I’ve settled with a resolution of 800×600 pixels with support for 16.7 million colors.
Give it the location of the chosen SVGA driver (A:\ or otherwise) and it will show a list of possible display modes. Press enter to select it and bring up a list of possible drivers.įind the option to select a driver from a different manufacturer and select it. Navigate your way to the display settings using the up arrow key.
Once the drivers have been obtained and placed on a floppy image or the hard disk image, you will then need to run the setup executable that will allow you to configure the display settings in a DOS environment outside of Windows (C:\WINDOWS\SETUP.EXE). On the web page provided, it will provide links to different drivers for different SVGA adapters.
Continuing on from the previous tutorial, we have a working DOS installation running with DOSBox that we can install Windows 3.11 on for running old 16-bit Windows software.
