Hi.

I have problems with electronic arts games and with the roland cm-32L. When I run a game with the mt32 extension, it hangs. The games I tested are Budokan, Centurion and Lakers & Celtics.

What is the problem?

I'm using a IBM 386 with a SB CT28xx to connect el cm32l.

Haven't heard of these games, but what do you use to connect the Roland?

Can you try Wing Commander or Space Quest III? If they hang as well, then it's clear.

I have tried others, such as monkey island, 4d sports boxing, larry, prince of persia, ... and they work. But the electronic arts games I quoted above, remain hung on the cover of the game, where the music would have to play.

I have tried the wing commander and it does not work.
The screen remains in "please wait"
What is happening?

All of the non-working games mentioned in this thread expect an intelligent-mode MPU-401 interface. You'll want to use SoftMPU in conjunction with your particular Sound Blaster to get around this requirement.

What is SoftMPU? Where can I get it? How is it used?
