You can select the emulated device using pcvx.com

How do I use it?

You just need to plug your picovox into any LPT port of your computer, plug in the power to the USB-C connector and your favorite pair of speakers into the audio jack. In case of Covox/FTL/DSS/Stereo-On-1 you can use them right out of the box. In case of OPL2LPT, TNDLPT and CMSLPT, you can use them in the same way as the listed devices; either with games with native support, or load their drivers/patches. You can switch between modes via a tool for DOS called pcvx.com :

How to use PCVX.COM ?

You have to copy the pcvx.com file to your DOS computer.

You can download the latest version from RELEASES.

The usage is as follows:

PCVX [PORT] MODE [DEVICE]

PORT

You may specify the port by using LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3, depending on where your picovox is connected. If your picovox is connected to an LPT port at a non-standard address, you can use ADDR0x378 where you replace 0x378 with your base address (where data pins are set). The status register is base + 1, and the control register is base + 2.
