First of all the reason I wrote about Mt32 support not being mt32 emulation support, my point was that people use the correct term since Mt32 support is already in.
Also especially on Vogons you will find many people that are using the hardware rather than the emulation.
DOSBox is not likely to add mt32 emulation until the legality of the ROMs is resolved. That'll be another 70 years or so to make sure 😉
And using Munt software rather than the built in munt is a lot more future safe. When you use the built in and do a release, than that version is forever stuck on the version of Munt at the time you release a DOSBox version.
That can be a big letdown. If DOSBox 0.74 had done that the built in Munt emulation would suck a lot compared to what you get with current Munt.
So if you invest a little time ONCE to get everything working with the Munt software you are always easily on the latest and greatest, no matter whether you use the original Dosbox 0.74 release or any other built (not to mention other software like ScummVM or Exult).
