With the recent GOG release I have finally been able to try out MT-32 support of X-Wing ('93 floppy version) for the first time. I am aware of the buffer overflow / crash issue with 1st generation MT-32s, and am using the latest DOSBox SVN build (r3871) with delaysysex set to prevent the problem.
Music and sound work, however many effects sound off to me, to where I can not imagine they are as intended. When leaving for the training missions, the shuttle flyby effects from the cutscenes sound garbled and sustain where they sound like they should have ended. Also the X-Wing's blasters sound scratchy and distorted.
I have attached a recording from leaving the concourse until entering the first training mission and firing blasters. This on W7x64.
Is this how the game should sound on an MT-32, or are there more compatibility issues with first gen units than what this build of DOSBox fixes?
Thanks!
