Perhaps, there is a viable alternative already. Quite some time ago, VDMSound on Windows 9x was created, and it proves being workable at least (surely not perfect). Probably, some debugging can make it even better, and may appear faster than creating a new VxD driver from scratch (which is a lost …

Yes, obviously every good library code needs testing, and autotests is a great answer to check regressions continuously (provided the tests cover enough corner cases of the library). There is a problem here: nearly every usage of the library involves adding the ROMs, except some pieces of support …

Right, LNK2038 errors (Mismatched values.) stuff sounds very much like using different runtimes in DOSBox and library.

Yes, I perfectly understand the problem at hand. I'd like to note two things: The DOSBox patch is intended primarily for developers and maintainer of custom DOSBox builds (i.e. the target auditory should be able to track down problems like this with ease). As stated in the README , the patch …

I believe there are none. As long as the control ROM version is exactly the same, no audible differences should be observable. But of course, each and every unit sounds uniquely having been aged 😀

Managed to get it accepted into MacPorts as well https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/9842 (with a lot of back and forth because I was sloppy with spacing, newline etc...). Cool, thank you! :) What I cannot do and would be mildly useful is to have one target that builds both the dynamic …

These look as three separate things to me. And I guess neither can reasonably be solved should you provide no further details...

Note, the vanilla DOSBox also offers a way of capturing raw MIDI stream from a game. The official manual states: CTRL-ALT-F8 Start/Stop the recording of raw MIDI commands. and I used to capture a few nice tracks in times prior to mt32emu-qt era 😉

That's weird. I supposed the MinGW toolchain works just fine if installed from brew. Is there some problem with that approach?

Unfortunately, the cmake build script for the entire package doesn't seem to permit doing it easily (we didn't define fair cmake components there). And for some reason, the library is considered a mandatory thing, so is built and packaged no matter what :) But as I said, there is a simple workaround …

My 5 cents (if I'm not too late ;) ). As for the technical part of the question. The provided CMake files foresee building either of: - a package that consists of the two mentioned apps with the library statically linked (by default, but it is _very easy_ to tweak with the cmake options); - a …

I haven't had any issue with Munt since June, and version 2.4.0 so far survived two reboots B) The only glitch was when Win10 rev2009 was released in November. I ran "drvsetup.exe repair" to register the driver again. I realise this is as intended. Still, drvsetup doesn't deploy a driver package …

Is this still a problem with munt package 2.4.0? If so, I hope it is fixable. I've forgotten about this problem for several months, but if it still present on some systems, it'd be great to sort it out.
