#VMWARE TOOLS FOR WINDOWS 2000 AND LATER DRIVERS#

Anyway, it is no weak to play MP3 320, they are freezing, but thanks to that direct CD-ROM - sound card connection DOS was referring too - CDs play smooth and fine.

It's very good for 3.11, because it has official video drivers for 16 million-color display, audio, also with Netgear FA411 it easily connects to internet. Emulating this seems a bit pointless, because the emulated PC has such a small amount of involvement here (it's not processing the audio, it's just telling the virtual CD drive to start/stop and the virtual audio card to adjust volume) that you can easily do this on a new machine with new software, but one might still want to play with old CD player software I suppose, so someone might have done this?ĭabrowski wrote:Just out of curiosity: why would you need to emulate the classic audio CD experience on a virtual machine? Wouldn't it be more hipster to actually acquire a real old machine and play CDs on that? I have Toshiba 420CDT with WFW 3.11 installed. iso files, since they don't have audio tracks, so I think that would exclude VMware - I don't remember seeing any VMware products support anything other than. Obviously you can ignore any emulators that only support. I think that in the 1990s it would have put too much strain on your PC to do that.Īre there any emulators that emulate that analog connection between the CD drive and the sound card? I never really though about that before. Later, Windows would read the audio stream from the CD and send it to the sound card digitally, I vaguely remember a checkbox somewhere in Windows to tell it you wanted to do that. Back in the 1990s, I think almost everyone's CD audio went directly as analog from the CD drive to an input on the sound card over a 3 or 4 pin cable, and all that the software running on the PC did was tell the CD drive to start/stop/pause/etc.

I made a post here about audio under Windows 95 on VMware Player.
