Loom MT-32 Patch: Where to find?
Posted on 2019-11-14, 00:29
http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2012/10/l … -technical.html Users originally had to pay $10 and send in a card to receive the MT-32 patch, but it is available on LucasArts' support site. Last game to use a red filter for copy protection. Thanks!
Re: ScummVM 2.1.0 for Win95/98 Anyone tried it yet?

Great, I will. Originally I thought I has no Sound Effects, but it turns out that they are very low. When I lower the Music, and up the Sound Effects/Speech in ScummVM, it makes it a tad better, but the background hiss is really evident and annoying.

Sure. I have a Soundblaster 16 (CT1740). I could chose its midi output in the global settings of scummvm. Under Midi I can chose SB16-MIDI-OUT [330] [WINDOWS MIDI]. In addition I've chosen the same one under MT-32 and checked the first option (deactivated GM Emulation) OK, now I can hear the MT-32 …

Runs ... I had no problems setting up my mt-32. But man... I really hate that folder on the desktop. Is there a chance to save these files in another directory? I already checked every program file with a hex-editor. But found nothing that tells where/when/how this folder is created. May I ask how …

Try the patched version of 1988 release above, that should only work on real hardware :D I will, after I finish playing the Enhanced version, and I am currently in the middle of! QUESTIONS: 1) What about the Tandy voice, that is the only thing I was interested in, when I originally posted this …

Well, I am playing this on my real retro computer (see my signature for the specs), so the DosBox does not apply to me! But I really appreciate your awesome input!

Start the game, in the selection screen you can switch to tandy mode by pressing SHIFT+T then save it by SHIFT+W Then start you game with: MANIAC P next time around. Or 1. Create a new folder, copy original files there. 2. Start maniac.exe 3. Press "SHIFT+W" in the kid selection screen, it will say …

Runs Maniac with EGA graphics and Tandy sound on any PC with a Tandy soundcard on 0C0h. I see. Well, unfortunately I have an AWE64 GOLD. But, just out of curiosity: I copied MODIAC.EXE and MANIACTE.EXE into my game folder: When I run MODIAC.EXE, I see the EGA graphics, but no music/sound. The …

OK, thanks! Is there an "un-mofied" (unplayed, an image created purely off of the floppy diskettes) on the web? The ones that I have, are the versions that have saved files or preferences in them. Thanks!
Maniac Mansion (and Enhanced version) PC Speaker only?
Posted on 2019-11-01, 20:21
I understand that both versions do not have any *in-game* music (besides the intro and the ending), but I can't find any "setup" file in the game directory that enables Tandy 3-voice. How do I achieve this? Thanks!

There's a 9x build of Munt here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/munt/files/munt/SNAPSHOTS/ OK, I managed to run it on my Win98, and the MIDI port that I have opened on it, is called: MidiIn0: AWE64G MIDI In [330] Now, when I run ScummVM v 2.1.0 , I am not sure which drop-down option should I …

Thanks, I have been using the older versions such as scummvm-1.8.1-win32 (and lower), in the past, and all of them have the FluidSynth option (however, they all, just like the 2.1.0 version) only rely on the actual AWE64 Gold built-in synth: meaning no MT-32, or MIDI emulation for me at least Unless …

https://www.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.1.0/scummvm-2.1.0-win32-win9x.exe When installed, it creates a folder called ScummVM on the desktop, containing the save and some configuration.ini files: very annoying. Also, for MIDI emulation, it does not have the FuidSynth option on the MIDI drop-down menu. …

I just learned that I need to copy the contents of Win95 folder located on the install CD , to another drive, and run the SETUP.EXE from there ( instead of the SETUP.EXE found on the actual CD ), this eliminates the error message reported here (and witnessed by me, on both OSR 2.1 , and OSR 2.5 ) …
