What I have is an offical emulator, I guess. :) The version of the SoundBlaster Live! drivers I have. They include SB16 emulation... as well as General MIDI and, by proxy, Roland. It's the Win98 drivers from the SBLive CD that came with my PC because the ME drivers seemed to not have DOS compatibility emulation.
I guess that that driver won't work in XP, only XP-only non-DOS compatible drivers, so you have to use those two 2000/XP sound utilities that I linked to get sound in most DOS games in XP.
Oh, and I don't know what it was (re-install? some settings changes I made? One of those other things?), but KQ5-Win worked when I set windows to 640x and 256 color. All I did was watch the intro and then save, but it worked... awesome! It's not perfect, because the sound is somewhat choppy (it pops and hesitates at times) and I really would rather run the DOS version because that doesn't have the stupid topbar and has the color cursors, but I'll take what I can get I guess for games with as many issues as these have...
