So there's a select number of games listed on the SoftMPU wiki, under the intelligent mode list. If I'm using the S2 or X2 on a waveblaster card header directly, I would STILL have to use SoftMPU before launching the game, otherwise the game will play SC-55 music (so it'll still have music …

I did some reading and the Github says SoftMPU is for the DREAMBLASTER S2P, which seems like it plugs into the back of a sound card, externally. My Dreamblaster X2 and S2 plug directly into the wavetable header on the card, inside of the computer – I take it those also need to still use SoftMPU? S2 …

do I have to manually turn on the 'ctrl 0 to 127' on a per-game basis to turn on and off MT32 for those MT32 games? (and likewise for SC-55 games), or is this automatic when you're running SoftMPU (i.e. SoftMPU knows which games you're loading and For MT32 modus in games, you will need softmpu. it …

I'm wondering what "VAR127" means. I just saw that the .txt doc with Buran says "this version 1.0 now also supports MT32 (through variation 127)", then when I searched this topic came up which the OP mentions "VAR127" several times. The one thing I didn't like about using something like the …
