Hello,

I have issues with some games about MIDI Music.

In Abuse (Apogee) the setup offers only to set digital Sound... and I have no music in game...
In Dungeon Master II (Interplay/FTL), the music is MIDI but it can be played only by sound card. No option for external MIDI. Is there a patch ?
In Power Dolls, the music is MIDI too but soundblaster only again 😠

I also tried to add a roland MT-32 device line (taken from Abuse Setup.ini files) and it didn't work either.
Only MIDI from creative synth not AWE wavetable nor MIDI out... 😢

I solved the issue with Abuse.
It seems that my game was wrong. I used another and the setup now offers MIDI options.

Yesterday, I launched Dungeon Master II and surprisingly I got GM Music on my Roland SC-88 !!

SKULL.CFG

[DIGITAL]
DeviceName = Sound Blaster 16
DeviceIRQ = 5
DeviceDMA = 1
DevicePort = 0x220
DeviceID = 0xe015

[MIDI]
DeviceName = Sound Blaster 16
DevicePort = 0x330
DeviceID = 0xa001

I simply cheat with DevicePort

Hello,

i'm trying to use my MT-32 with Dungeon Master 2 under Dosbox (Windows 10), but it does not work. Anyone could explain me how to do please ?

(sorry, seems I asked in the wrong discussion, but I just followed a google link).
