hmm, it doesn't seem to work with the MT32_PCM.ROM which works with the previous build you made. Does that mean you must use the Windows Driver to run it with MT32? Also I noticed that the version you gave out is a Debugging version plus it's not a "clean" build the DOSBox.conf is a bit .. Messy. 😜

Source Zip is kinda old (it is misssing some of the fixes to CDROM ISO and stuff) and your build is missing ScreenShot Support. Also I can't build the source under MinGW because the files aren't linked up it seems.

Hmmm... Seems some things got mixed up in my post. I'll try to posting again. I'll let you know when I've updated things.

I tried it too and just get an assert-like error and it quits 🙁

Wow, a new release from Canadacow. Glad to see you are finding
the time to maintain the MT-32 EMU.
Does this new release change anything in the emulator core?
I posted some platform independent bug fixes a while back
(one for clicks and another involving incorrect partials) that I
had integrated into the Linux version. I don't think that they are
currently in the Windows/Dosbox version.

Once again, it is good to see you are back into developing the
MT-32 emu.

I was also having problems running this version of dosbox (to be clear, the one dated 10/10/2004). It crashes any time I run a game that is set to use MT-32.

I downloaded the source and compiled it, and I still had the same problem. But I was able to fix it. In midi_mt32.h, line 52 reads:
myMT32->ClassicOpen("c:\\emulators\\dosbox\\",tmpProp);

Well, I don't have a c:\emulators\dosbox directory on my computer. I was able to fix it by changing the line to:
myMT32->ClassicOpen(".\\",tmpProp);

This way it should use the current directory. I'm not sure if that's the best way to fix it, but hey, it seems to work. 😀 There certainly should not be a hard-coded directory name.

Aha! Silly me. Ok, posting a new version now!

Hi CC.

Not sure why, but your latest build still crashes to the desktop with the following message: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." 🙁

The new build works just fine for me. So I'm certain that the problem Kaminari is having is different than the one I mentioned, which is now fixed. I have no idea what his problem might be, but I figured I'd mention that it does not happen for everyone.

i have just placed 10 october in c:\emulators\dosbox\ and it works.

15 october works properly in random folder

Listening to Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2 and Wing Commander I haven't noticed any improvements, on the contrary the instruments (trumpte, trombone) seem to be weaker and less pronounced than in the March 2004 version.

I know tuning the emulator is a very delicate thing so there may be improvements I didn't notice but so far I like the old version more.

That damn sawtooth filter. I'll roll it back to what I had in March and keep trying.

I compared the new version with the old one. I can say there are problems in some games like "Legend of Kyrandia1". In the introduction there are problems with some custom instruments (loaded by sysex) with the new version. The old DosboxMt32 didn't have this problem. It's really bad sounding.

Thanks for the info. After a lot of testing (switching SDL/MSVC libs and all), I still have no clue why it crashes with this error message. The official DOSBox 0.62 works fine, as well as CC's previous MT-32 build. I have a P4 Celeron D330.

I've got the same problem as Kaminari. 😢

ps: Could someone tell me where to get the 0.61 MT32 bin for download?

I just uploaded the previous version of DOSBox MT32 0.61 (July 11,2004 version) He had made a few bug fixes in a previous thread and I repacked it with the latest version of that EXE.

DOSBox-MT32-0.61.zip

Be easy I don't have a lot of Bandwidth. Thanks.
I also updated this version with the latest DOSBox version of SDL.DLL and my build of SDL_net.dll. (works well on my comp)
I also cropped out the stuff the extra "crap" that wasn't being used by DOSBox but was still being included in the zip.

Btw, Is there a reason why you haven't pulled a new version of DOSBox and patched it with your changes CC?
I looked at your source and the files you have are all from some point in 0.61. Your VERSION still says 0.61. So I know you haven't done a clean pull lately. 😁.

I build with MinGW and well it's a lot easier since it's free and I don't have MS Visual C or Net so yeah your VCProjects I can't build with.
I can build every last bit of DOSBox SRC with MinGW so far 😜.

Sorry.. been rather busy lately. I'll try to get to it by this weekend.

Thanks CC. Not trying to be annoying just making sure it's not forgotten. 😁

I had the same problem as Kaminari. In my case it´s caused by my joystick.
It says:
Using joystick X6-38V Dual Analog Rumble Pad with 30 axes and 327683 buttons.

and then terminates with the former posted message.

If I remove the joystick dosbox runs. (But i can´t use the joystick of course 🙄)
