That should mean to try fixed cycles starting at a low amount until you get the amount that works.

That allows it to compile. It cause stuttering for me (some bottleneck probably). Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do anything to help the intro sound.

the bird chirping is very muted and not the right sound I found an option to enable more accurate pitch in mt32emu.h which may fix this. #define MT32EMU_ACCURATENOTES 0 Change to: #define MT32EMU_ACCURATENOTES 1 It has a note that it could be very slow. I'm not sure about the speed because it …

Unfortunately, I got around to testing and you might still hear crackle on some tracks. Track 50 in Serpent Isle still crackles a little bit. Tracks like these are probably pretty rare. What you have as a default now is probably good for most games. For no quality loss. *partialBuf++ = (Bit16s)((( …

Could you lower the sfx volume instead? That shouldn't be too hard if it is using another card type. Is there a way to separate sfx volume data from the music if both are using MT-32 emulation?

After testing more songs, 119 isn't low enough. I currently have it set at Copy code to clipboard 1 if(velocity>116) velocity=116; I'll have to go through more songs and reply back. Edit: For Ultima 7 Part 2 Serpent Isle, I had to drop it way down on song 50. Copy code to clipboard 1 if(velocity> …

Wow, I couldn't even spell "bed" properly. With Copy code to clipboard 1 if(velocity>119) velocity=119; I no longer get crackle. That seems like a much more acceptable volume cutoff. Hopefully it works in the games you had problems with. (6.3% max volume loss vs 21.26%)

It just seems weird to force a volume increase and then lower the higher volumes in a patch that states it is trying to increase accuracy. That could be fixed with a configuration for people who want the volume increase over accuracy.

It was tested with Exult not DOSBox. It doesn't have a completely up to date changes with ScummVM. The volume isn't too low for me there. It really depends on the music though. I changed some of the code that ScummVM has and the crackle doesn't appear anymore. I tried to edit it away before you …

You seem to be overcompensating for the volume being too high by lowering the volume contrast. Code like that should be modifiable. if(velocity>100) velocity=100; // FIXME: noise fix on some games In synth.cpp, you might want to try changing the following in partial.cpp *partialBuf++ = (Bit16s)((( …

How hard it is for you to understand what you linked to? Look at the bold part. The "at your option" part means that anyone can choose to use whatever version they want so long as it is greater than or equal to 2 (in the case of DOSBox's current code). Is GPLv3 compatible with GPLv2? No. Some of the …

I'd recommend using an external mapper like Xpadder or JoyToKey for Windows or Qjoypad for nix. Your Joystick might have software made by the manufacturer.

Frame rate is really irrelevant for old games like this. There never was any standard. Whatever feels good or works best for you is where you should have it. Dynamic is most likely the fastest core but on rare occasions has issues with some games. You can try adjusting the output= setting to see if …

You download both zips I mentioned. They will need to be in a directory that will be mounted inside DOSBox. I suggest unzipping to both of them to the c:\dosgames\hx (create the directory if it doesn't exist). Then you can add: mount C C:\dosgames path=c:\hx\bin HXLDR32.EXE in the [autoexec] section …

You'll likely want to cut the cycles to around 5000 and have the detail all the way down to walk nicely in the wilderness with the snow blowing. It should at least be playable then. If your sound card has DOS drivers, you are better off creating a small fat32 partition and running the game in …
