Instructions for manually installing the Simulation Virtual Device Driver
for Windows 3.1:
Prerequisites:
1) You must have a 386 or 386SX or above PC
2) You must be using Windows 3.1 (3.0 will not work)
The VDD will allow you to run most SoundBlaster and MPU-401/MT32 or LAPC
applications within a Windows DOS session. Do NOT run the SVAUDIO.EXE.
The VDD will attempt to map the sounds requested by the application to
the nearest M-ACPA sound. In most cases this is quite acceptable, but
in any case it will sound different.
/****************************************************************************/
Install Instructions if MME Extensions for the ACPA card is not installed:
/****************************************************************************/
1) Copy the IBMMPC.DSP file to the root of the C: drive
2) Copy the MINIDD.SYS file to the root of the C: drive
3) Update your C:\CONFIG.SYS to include:
device=MINIDD.SYS
4) Copy the SVAUDIO.386 file to the \SYSTEM sub directory of Windows
(ie \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WIN31\SYSTEM)
5) Copy the ACPA.DLL file to the \SYSTEM sub directory of Windows
6) Update the SYSTEM.INI file located at the Windows main directory
to include:
a) the following under [drivers]
wave=ibmmme.drv
aux=ibmmme.drv
midi=ibmmme.drv
b) the following under [386Enh]
device=svaudio.386
7) Bring up Windows and the VDD is activated!
/****************************************************************************/

/****************************************************************************/
1) Copy the IBMMPC.DSP file to the root of the C: drive
2) Copy the MINIDD.SYS file to the root of the C: drive
3) Update your C:\CONFIG.SYS to include:
device=MINIDD.SYS
4) Comment out the device=ACPADD.SYS line in the config.sys while you are
using the SoundBlaster Virtual Device driver. The MIDIDD.SYS takes up
less memory that may be required by some games.
4) Copy the SVAUDIO.386 file to the \SYSTEM sub directory of Windows
(ie \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WIN31\SYSTEM)
5) Replace your copy of the ACPA.DLL file in the \SYSTEM sub directory of
Windows with the copy in this package.
Note: You may want to keep a backup copy of your original ACPA.DLL for when
you are not using the Simulation VDD since this level of ACPA.DLL is
not fully tested yet.
6) Make sure the SYSTEM.INI file located at the Windows main directory
has the following:
a) the following under [drivers]
wave=ibmmme.drv
aux=ibmmme.drv
midi=ibmmme.drv
b) the following under [386Enh]
device=svaudio.386
7) Bring up Windows and the VDD is activated!
