WinXP Patch for Prophecy and WingCommander 3/4

I have installed Wing Commander 3 on a WinXP system with an Audigy
SoundCard, and I've found that the Audigy is no more compatible with DOS
application, so I haven't the sound no more. Do you know how I can have my
sound again? An emulator, a patched EXE for Windows. All!

Again, my WCP don't make effects with Direct3D. Do you have a patch that
modify the game for obtain all the effects with my GeForce? Thanks!

vdmsound might work for you. It's kind of inconsistent as to how well
it works though. http://ntvdm.cjb.net/

Last I checked, WCP does use direct3d. You've set it to use direct3d,
right? The only patch I know of for WCP is the high-res patch. That
can be found here: http://www.wcrevival.de/hcl/

I think the Audigy should have a sound emulation just like the live. The 
problem is more likely to be found with XP.

No.
You can get Lensflare if you install my patch however

You cannot get fogging, that one is for Voodoo only I am afraid.

Thanks. Your patch for the lens flare is already installed on my wcp. The
only think that I cannot see is that with Direct3D the transparecy and the
fog isn't applicable. I think that can be coded a wrapper for the Glide
calls (old good Glide :D). I've tried so many glide wrappers, but they won't
work with WCP.
