For audio add <code>-device AC97</code> to the parameters and use the [http://a320.the-cake-is-a-lie.com:8000/pgm/drv/sound/ac97/ac97_362.zip ac97_362.zip] driver. This driver also provides as an additional bonus some pretty respectable Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 PCM emulation out of the box which is compatible and fully functional on QEMU.
 
The machine argument is set to pc-i440fx-2.4 for compatibility sakes, and the <code>-device VGA,vgamem_mb=64</code> parameter allocates 64MB of VRAM onto the generic VGA adapter QEMU provides to allow higher resolutions and color depths within 98SE. In any case that you run into the PnP BIOS bug within 98SE on QEMU, you will have to recompile SeaBIOS itself with <code>CONFIG_PNPBIOS</code> PnP BIOS disabled as it's broken on Win9x.
 
We set the memory to 256 MB, but it can run on as low as 16 MB of RAM, although this isn't recommended as the SoftGPU driver requires extra memory in order to be able to allocate textures in games.
