If you want to get your SWOS CD-Rom Version work properly with Sound and Joystick (also USB) on XP, then follow the instruction below!
This tutorial works perfectly for all CD-Rom versions of SWOS, as I have tested them:
First of all, install SWOS from your CD on harddrive! This should work also on XP, as I have never had any problems with that! (If you have problems, write me an email, or contact me on a messenger!)
In this Installation avoid any configuration. Just install it, then exit setup!
Now, you need this Version of VDMSound (2.1), Download: h**p://host.ring23.com/playaveli/vdm.exe
--> Install VDMSound with ALL features! Important!
Now go to your SWOS directory (e.g.: C:\games\swos) and make a "RIGHT-CLICK" on the install.exe
Take the option:
Now setup a custom config (click "next"):
Now create a new configuration (click "next"):
On the next screen click on the following button:
Now make the the following options as shown on the screenshots!
The other options are OK! Leave them as they are! Now click OK (to close the advanced options), and then "Next":
Remember your settings and go ahead!
--> Now you can configure your soundblaster and setup your joystick! <--
To play SWOS, do the same procedure with SWS.exe (or whatever it is called)! And make excactly the same settings!
I give a guarantee that SWOS runs smoothly on XP with these settings! It may be a bit complicated to setup, but it is absolutely worth it!!!
