After a long pause and upgrade to Windows Vista, I decided to test again the status of emulated MT-32 in Dosbox. Found Gulikoza's build at http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/dosbox.html. Inserted the rom-files to Dosbox's directory and fired up Wing Commander...

Sound effects work perfectly, however, it seems one or more instruments are missing. Most notably this is right at the start ("In distant future, mankind is locked in a deadly war....") where only percussions are present for first few seconds.

Any tips?

You should probably ask Gulikoza himself. If remember correctly, his builds incorporate many unofficial and local patches, which gets very little support here.

I still use the old Munt cvs code, you might have more luck running Munt on your system (if it works?) and using it via MPU401 dosbox output. I don't know the status of current Munt cvs, but IIRC it was just before a major breakthrough. Hopefully someday it will be finished...

Thanks - that might explain it then.

I think I was searching for MUNT earlier and there doesn't seem to be a x64 Windows version - so not possible for my OS..

I hope you have time of including more recent MUNT sometime (I really don't need the MT-32 for anything else than DOSBox and ScummVM), would really appreciate it!

I'm having trouble getting MT32 to work in general. I remember getting Munt to work in XP a couple years ago, but it doesn't seem to work in Vista. I tried the gulikoza and Ykhwong builds, but no luck with them either. I'm probably doing something wrong though. I'm using D-Fend Reloaded and I have the roms in the dosbox folder.

*Edit* Nevermind... I think I figured it out. D-Fend Reloaded didn't have an option to pick mt32 as the device, so I did it manually. MT32 emulation didn't sound right for me either though (Quest for Glory 1 EGA). Trying to figure out Ykhwong now.
