1st, you are reviving an 8 years old threat. They either found a
solution in the meantime oor lost interest anyway.
2nd, in these 8 years there was plenty of time to read a few lines

There are a couple of gotchas:
- Only real-mode games work (no DOS extenders etc.)
- Games that use MPU interrupts (a handful of intelligent-mode games) are
currently not supported
Nevertheless this allows a lot of classic games (Lucasarts adventures etc)

Wow. Wasn't the lack of Sound Blaster the problem for most people, and
not some inability to play MIDI tones?

as you ton't qualify as a developer, how about going to work, earn
somemoney, and offer Japeth (or other developers) this money to
implement your wishes?
