I mostly use this just to check that all MIDI drivers are installed and working, and that device 0 is the right one (since that is the one used by programs which have no MIDI device selector built-in). Every now and then MIDI devices disappear from the list without any apparent reason, and I have to …

That's what I do, except that I don 't write it to a text file, and don't have "exit" at the end. I don't really see what I would gain by writing to a text file though.

I do use DOSBox for that! But it would be even easier if I had a tool which only did that! 😀 I would do it myself if I knew how. I have some very basic programming knowledge, but looking at the source code just makes my head hurt.

Is there anyone here who would like to whip up a little Windows program which does the same thing as the "mixer /listmidi" command in DOSBox? I have not found any other program which provides this particular information, and it feels a bit silly that you have to use an emulator to get it. I'm not a …

I use two mono 1/4"->RCA adapters which I bought in some local store. Then I can use any standard RCA->RCA or RCA->1/8" cable, which I think is a nice solution.

I don't think there will be any problem as long as you configure memory adresses, IRQs and DMAs coorectly so you don't get any conflicts. On my 486 I have a Sound Blaster AWE32 (a "full-size" card which means it's as long as the PC case!), and a Roland MPU-401AT with a SC daughterboard on it (forgot …

If you want to play Loom with MT-32 sound you need to have 1. the PC floppy version (EGA 16 colors) 2. the MT-32 patch for that version If you don't have the patch the game only supports Adlib (and PC speaker) The CD-ROM version of course only have digital sound & music. I forgot where I found the …

The Macintosh version of Thexder has MT-32 support. Unfortunately I don't know of any Mac-emulator that has MIDI-support. (The PC version only has support for PC beeper and PCjr/Tandy sound.) By the way, I successfully played some Amiga versions of Sierra games in WinUAE with my real MT-32.

Congratulations! I can't even get David Wolf to play MT-32 music using a real MT-32 connected to a real Roland MPU-401 interface installed in my 486 DX2-66 running MS-DOS 6.22... I don't know if these games use intelligent mode, but I had problems getting the following early Legend Entertainment …

If it's any help... All Sierra's SCI0-games (King's Quest IV, Space Quest III, Police Quest 2, Larrys 2 & 3 among others) require the MT-32 to be connected to a Roland MPU-401 MIDI-interface (or 100% compatible). If you connect the MT-32 to an old ISA Soundblaster the computer freezes when you try …

Actually I have a real MT-32, so I don't really need the emulator at all! I just think it's interesting. But some day my MT-32 might decide to call it quits. Hopefully I have a faster machine by then.

ScummVM relies on the Microsoft MIDI Mapper (that is, the MIDI device you set as default in the Sounds & Multimedia properties). I tried that but it still sounded exactly the same as before.

I finally downloaded and tested the MT-32 emulator driver! Of course, since I only have a 600Mhz CPU, I got really choppy sound. But apart from the crackling and stuttering it sounds quite good! :D I got it to work with VDMSound and WinUAE, but DosBox just freezes. I also tried it with ScummVM and …

As for those old Sierra games, I also noticed that many support the MT-32 (or any external MIDI synth for that matter) or the Sound Blaster, but not both at the same time (only a few do). The only Sierra-games I can remember right away where you have to choose between sampled sound effects or MT-32 …

The Genies laugh in QFG2 actually sounds rather silly even on a real MT-32. If you run it with the SoundBlaster driver you get a sampled laugh which sounds much better. Unfortunately you can't get sampled sound effects if you run with the MT-32 driver, so you have to choose between bad music and …

Helllooo! Just thought I should mention that using Ultima 6 to test the emulator might not be a very good idea. Take a look at this: http://www.geocities.com/nodling/ultima/ultima.html
