I am having trouble playing gp2 in dos with a pci sound blaster live card.

Gp2 do not like the sound blaster 16 emulator in dos.

Is there a way to fix this. Or do I have to get an old
isa sound card?

Try it under a Windows Dos Box.. It works fine for me with a SB!Live.  You
should make sure the SB emulation settings is using an IRQ 7 or less and run
the GP2 "setup" program to change the game sound settings.

Mine is I/O ??, IRQ 7, DMA 3,7.  It seemed wierd but it actually worked.

For pure Dos mode you have to run the SB!Live Dos drivers or it certainly will
not work.  Check out http://www.sblive.com or your installation disk for Dos
driver instructions.

Aside: A P3/550 runs GP2 very well in 640x480 mode (finally)  Just turn sky
off -- the mirrors are maxed :-D

Email me from my webpage(s) if you need specific information.

Hope this helps,
Jason.

Are you not able to play it through a DOS window. I have a SBLive and GP2
runs perfectly using it running through a DOS window under Win 98.

Peter, that's what I've been tryin to do for a few days now...
I can play it in a dos Window the sound is OK but I can't have the game to
calibrate my thrustmaster T2
I can go to the calibration screen, but I can't calibrate the wheel (or a
simple joystick for that matter)... How did you do it ?...

Only have 1 joystick (the T2) connected to the machine and setup as slot 1 in
the Win98 Joystick screen.  Remove any joysticks configured for slot 2 and
such.  My T2 works fine with combined axis using the SB!Live joystick port.

Thanks Jason,

But the problem's still there, I only have the T2 connected, in slot 1
and I've tried it with and without the adapter, with only one joystick port
enabled at a time, (because there's two showing in the system properties
dialog box, (one in the Creative Miscellaneous Devices, wich is called
Creative gameport Joystick)(and the other one's in the Sounds, Video and game
controllers called Gameport Joystick) So I've tried with both enabled (they
do not show any conflicts in their respective dialog boxes. Or with only one
at a time (I've tried each combination!) No luck, zilch, nada....

So back to square one!  

Again thanks for the help

John

Good News, I've corrected the problem,

Even if there was no conflict showing in the dialog boxes of the joysticks in
the system properties. That was it.

I removed the Gameport Joystick driver completely, only keeping the Creative
Gameport Joystick, rebooted and.... voila...
