Run the aweutil program like this : aweutil /em:mt32 . Then run the game by typing monkey r .

Also, early floppy releases of MI1 need to be patched to support MT-32 music. The patch is still available from the LucasArts website:

Yup that's right. Monkey Island doesn't support the AWE32 or General MIDI directly, so in that sense the video is a little misleading. It supports MT-32 and it uses the default MT-32 Instruments, so any device that be put into "MT-32 mode" will sound well with this game.

Thanks! Will try it tonight. One question only,
>Run the aweutil program like this : aweutil /em:mt32 . Then run the game by typing monkey r .
Do it in Real-DOS Mode or at Command Prompt in Win95?

Just try it. Music became different from adlib driver, but not as AWE32 should. Sound more poor and like it sounds wrong. I make a record a little later.
PS. I try it at Command Promt in Win95 and set up MT32 emulation in AWE32 setup utility, cause in Real-DOS mode when i running aweutil /em:mt32 program game hangs up the computer. Don't know why is this happen. MFBEN jumper on my AWE32 is set up in ON mode, so it should be work

Currently I can't test but in the past, when I tried to run my AWE64GOLD with the /em:mt32 command I usually got an error. I never looked into it further as I have a MT-32. This was under real DOS.

I believe I was missing some files. Is this possible?

Yeap, you need to have a specific file on a specific directory inside the SB directory. I had played MI on a soundblaster 32 (non-AWE) a couple of years ago, and I remember trying to enable the mt-32 emulation. I think those 3 files needed for GM,GS and mt-32 emulation were missing from the standard dos installation, and I had been searching on the net for them. But the directory IIRC was SFBANK, and the file was named synthmt.sbk. I think you need to have at least 512kb of ram installed on the card.

I had 2MB in my old SB32 PnP and never succeeded to run any game after loading this TSR in GM, GS or MT32 mode under pure DOS.

Reminds that I have to test this and do a recording for mr3dx 😀

Played with this this afternoon and did a quick recording!

Doesn't sound that bad to be honest, though not close enough to the real thing to really recommend using it IMO.

Anyone know where to find that patch now? Lucasarts link is dead.

Would rather you didn't bump threads that haven't seen a reply in seven years.

Anyhow, try this:

But good news, now that thanks to entering the original patch URL into the Wayback Machine to get the filenames, we now know... that Disney has a partial backup of LucasArts:
