I can't get DOS stuff to run that well on my system because of sound card
incompatibilities. I really hate DOS. IRQs and manually picking VGA modes
and all that garbage... This is a GROWING problem with modern PCs. When I
do get sound to work, it doesn't sound that hot. Stella's sound routines
aren't very good. The version of Stella Brad's working on currently sounds

Anyone who has Stella at 20 volume 2 has heard a little of what Stella
sounds like on my system. I had to run it on games that employ flicker in
order to use the scan converter because this helped it digitize better than
direct output. So Pac-man and a few others sound real distorted.
