- you can use MT32 or SC55 with these AGI games (when patched) I prefer SC55 which sounds better.
- you can also hook up an LPT-DAC and use temu to play these games with EGA gfx and "enulated" tandy music/sound.

The TNDY 3 Voice ISA project is fantastic if you're into playing AGI games on real hardware. The original is out of stock but it seems a revision is on the way.

As a Sierra fan I absolutely love mine!

I use one of these TNDLPT : Tandy Sound on parallel port A nice advantage is you don't have to give up an isa slot and can easily remove it whenever you don't feel like using it.

temu requires a Covox LPT adapter, right?

(By the way, I'm also in the process of building a Tandy Nano AND I have the TNDLPT on the way... I love to have options!)

Is there a guide to make this work and is using the MT32pi going to work for this?

The AGI-MIDI utility is located here: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/SoundUtil … s/AGI-MIDI.html

You just run it inside the game directory and it will patch your files.

I've also tried the AGI-SB utility (http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/SoundUtil … es/AGISB03.html) which uses the Adlib card instead of the Tandy 3-voice sounds but I didn't like the sound too much. It's very dark/deep instead of the light (?) like the original Tandy sound.

two questions on this:

1. can the AGI-MIDI patch work on XT-systems that do not have a soundcard and the roland-devices connected to a serial-output like on my setup here: https://youtu.be/MSvx0ddJREk
2. can the AGI-SB patch work on XT-systems that do not have a soundcard and use an LPT-FM Device like an OPL3/LPT ?

Even If one of this is possible I think there will be additional patches on the software needed?
