MUNT is an open source project with little developer attention these days so I expect you'll have to sort an x64 build yourself.

Says you. 😈 I happen to be working on what will be the "final" release of the MT-32 emulation core. No more synthesis wavetable files. No more off tune crap. My personal build at the moment now approaches with almost bit accuracy anything produced with PCM or a square wave. I have some final touches to do with the sawtooth BLIT synthesis and I'll be making a release. Ideally then, we can work on driver releases for other platforms.

Oops, sorry I thought things have gone quiet on MUNT. I shall move along now and find a hole in which to hide 😀

Brilliant! I can't wait to hear the results for myself. Comparing a DOSBox build incorporating MT-32 emulation with an MP3 file of the same section of game music recorded from a real MT-32 had me wondering what was causing the DOSBox version to sound off. Now I know. The emulation engine was all off. I bet your new version is going to beat the pants off the old one.

That's great news Canadacow! Do you have any indication of when this release will be finished?

I have just committed to the Munt CVS. There's still a lot of work to be done. I'm again completely unsatisfied with the filter cutoff (particularly for the sawtooth wave), but I think I have some other things nailed down pretty well. For those who can't wait, building from the CVS might be worthy venture.

With recent experimental changes I'm finding the code in desperate need of optimization. It gets behind sometimes even on my Athlon 3200+. Maybe I just need a new CPU. 🤣

Did someone say in need of optimization?:) I'll take a look. I'm worse off rig wise than you are; xp @ 2GHz or ~2600+. You kid but if you were shopping, Intel's new core(the low end models have been matching AMD's current top end) is going to be released July 23rd and AMD is going to cut their prices up to 40% the day after in response.

FYI, compiling /w mingw, gcc pouts about jumping past some variable initializations. I just moved the declarations to the top to finish compiling the lib.

MT32Emu::Partial::getAmpEnvelope(Bit32u*)':

From the best that I can tell, the windows driver requires .net to compile? As well, from README, which says it'll will generate INSTALL instructions from running autogen.sh; negatory.

Yes, in tables.h, two lines below

1#include "blit\BlitSaw.h"
2#include "blit\BlitSquare.h"

should be

1#include "/blit/BlitSaw.h"
2#include "/blit/BlitSquare.h"

to fix compile errors in linux environment.

Any updates from Kingguppy or Canadacow?

I sent patches to CanadaCow that allow for successful compilation on Linux AMD64.. don't know if he ever committed them.

Any more news on this subject? I have recently purchased a real MT32 and I'd love to be able to compare it to a newer version of MUNTx64.

I'm sure many people are waiting and intensely interested on MUNT's progress.
