SB16 and VBE

[Torinde]

Can NTVDMx64 provide Sound Blaster 16 and VESA BIOS and a linear framebuffer?

MINNT build supports AdLib soundcard emulation by incorporating code parts
of SoundFX2000 into NTVDM SB20 emulation.

SoundFX emulates SB16 and even AWE32. Although their website is down. If somebody have a mirror of the sources/binaries/documentation, would be good to publish somewhere in case archive.org doesn't have it.

You can get SoundFX compiled Binaries in this issue tracker thread:

Generally, SoundFX works with NTVDMx64 aswell, but I experienced lockups on certain applications, reason is unknown. But you may want to give it a try (use the linked DLL build that has the timebomb removed), if you insist on using SB16.

NTVDMx64 supports SoftPC 4.0 VESA modes, but no linear framebuffer.
You can try to adapt SolVBE to provide you with a linear framebuffer, but I would assume that it is too slow to be usable.
