I mean most of older games run fine with my PIII-800 (although I have to invoke SetMul L2D for certain games), but I just wanted to know your opinion. - PIII-800E - Abit BH-6 - 256MB SD-RAM PC100 - AWE64 Gold - Sound Canvas 55 MKII - MUNT (emulating MT-32 on a separate Win7 Intel laptop) - SoftMPU - …

Thanks! I still need to copy these files inside the game folder (after editing the .cfg file obviously), right?

OK, I will give it a try, but I am sure when I selected it, games still played back OPL music. UPDATE: Apparently I had to find, and then copy ROM files into the ScummVM installtion folder!

Hi all, Is this possible? I am trying to run these older games on my real retro PC game system, and although I have been able to run some Sierra games with MUNT, emulating MT-32, it would be best if I could run then on ScummVM instead. (no DosBOX for me at this time! :) Thanks for letting me know! …

Great! How do I apply this patch to the game? When I simply copied over the files onto the games folder, I still didn’t get any sound effects

OK, On my real retro PIII system, I am using MUNT for MT-32 compatible games, and although the music seem to fine (I can also visually confirm the instruments being played on MUNT's virtual LCD), the sound effects however, sound weird. When I go into the SETUP section of a game, and set the sound …

Thank you so much for responding to my question! OK, that MTBLAST.DRV thread seem a bit technical for me, if I download the file, and place it in a particular game folder (the game that I have sound effects issue), would it solve the problem? Thanks!

Mine, only had PC Speakers sound, but I have heard that there is a FMTOWNS version with better graphics. The ScummVM version has normal sounds (non speakers). Is there a GOG version, and which one should I play?

I have been using the Korean developer's SVM DAUM which has support for Quick SAVE and Quick Load on my XP machine, and I love it. I am going to give it a try. I wish the official ones had support for Quick Save/Load as well!

Since there are a few DOS games that can not run under my system (even with SetMul) (Chaos Engine, Tyrian, Turrican 2), I was wondering if you guys can recommend a specific build that runs under Win98SE and my PIII-800MHz CPU. Thanks! My System specs: PIII-800E Abit BH-6 256MB SD-RAM PC100 AWE64 …

Hi all, Although I am very happy with my current MUNT version (1.7.1) providing MT-32 to my real retro system, I am tempted to give the Falcosoft MIDI Player software a try, based on the video and the project proposed by Phil's Computer Lab https://www.philscomputerlab.com/roland-midi-emulator- …

You are a genius! It works! Now, what I did was that I created a boot floppy diskette, copied my c: drive's config.sys and auto.exe bat to it, and THEN modified the config.sys! I am going to try other DOS games that I was unable to play, hopefully I can get them all to play! Thanks a million again! …

UPDATE: I was able to run the system perfectly with using SetMUL L1D command, instead of using Phil's (Phil's Computer LAB) per-configured batch files (i.e. Slow, Slowest, etc.), and now the game works!
