The problem is, while in Creative (EMUxKxx or not) cards the driver itself enables Crystalizer, Alchemy, CMSS and EAX4, in the "MB" versions it's the software suite that enables this feature.
So unless the software suite is installed, having this driver is as usefull as.. well as nothing, really..
Very wrong. Again I'll point you to THIS. Those results are with JUST my modded driver, not the crapative software suit. People also did not flame you, you flamed us.
