I tried playing around with this as well, no luck for me either. I think this was a similar case with LucasArts' TIE-Fighter on the X-Wing Collection CD, the real Roland seems to like the original floppy version only.

Thanks for also having a go, its a real shame they removed MT-32 support for this version, I would have loved to get it working. The fact that the roland.ims file is included still makes me hold hope that it is possible somehow.

I hear you, I love using the real hardware! I have my Sound Canvas on top of the MT-32 just in case I want to play a GS or General Midi compatible game. I had a similar issue with the Direct2Drive release of X-Com, Roland support was all but broken. One of the other forum users gave me a link to a fixed file for that game.

The Monkey Island CD has no MT-32 nor any other MIDI music. There's only the CD audio tracks.

However, if you have the Special Edition for PC, you can convert it into a true DOS talkie version with MT-32, General MIDI and Adlib music using my Ultimate Talkie Edition Builder: http://gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/monkey1.html
It also fixes a lot of original bugs. See the readme.txt for details.

Blimey O'Riley, that is AWESOME, I had no idea that existed, many thanks for the info, I will check out 😀

Can I ask does your tool work with the Steam version of MI SE?

Isn't there a version of ScummVM with MT-32 emulation included? (Yes, emulation isn't the same as real hardware, I suppose, but for testing purposes it might be useful.)

It does. I tested it with the Steam version and with the DVD version. And it was reported to work with other PC download versions as well. (The only difference is the executable, which isn't required)

The XBOX version may or may not work. I got no feedback for that so far.

Other system's releases won't work, since they use different codecs.

It's in the official version. It needs the original ROM files, though.

Hello again, I have just got round to playing about with your tools, I have to say, I am very impressed indeed, it has totally solved my problem, i love the fact that you have included MT-32 support, well done on a totally awesome set of tools. I'm looking forward to the final non BETA of the MI2 tools.
