Determining Resources The MS-DOS driver SBEINIT.COM must be running for SBECFG.EXE to work properly. To find the current SB Live! SB16 Emulation resources in Windows 95/98: 1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. 2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon. 3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab. 4. Double-click Creative Miscellaneous Devices, and then double-click Creative SB Live! SB16 Emulation. 5. Click the Resources tab. You can use the information in the resource list to help you configure MS-DOS games for use with the SB Live! card. The resource list may show three entries of "Input/Output Range" and two entries of "Direct Memory Access". They correspond to the sequence of entries in Table B-1 and Table B-3. If the number of entries do not match, a good estimate of the identity of the device is its I/O address or DMA channel. To find the current SB Live! SB16 Emulation resources in MS-DOS mode: 1. Switch to your SB Live! DOS driver directory, that is: C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV 2. Type SBECFG and then press . Some older games may have difficulty detecting the SB Live! card at certain resource settings. Typically, these games expect the card to be at a fixed set of resources and would fail to load if those resources are not detected. If you have older MS-DOS games that do not work properly, try changing the SB Live! SB16 Emulation configuration. Use the following as a guide: Problem: Sound Blaster emulation is not recognised. Solution: Try switching the SB Emulation IRQ between 5 and 7, use DMA channel 1, use SB interface port 220. Problem: The MPU-401emulation is not recognised. Solution: Try using Port address 330.
