Do any games actually use this special dual-synth mode, or more channels than vanilla Munt offers? No. That if a game supports general midi, but not mt-32, it will work? Yes. Why would someone want to send GM to an mt-32 emulator? I'm sure I am simply not understanding this correctly. Good question …

Yesterplay, for those of us with Sound Canvas VA (or another VST midi synth), is there any possibility of incorporating some kind of support directly into DOSBox ECE? If there are prebuilt working patches, then yes, otherwise not. I'm no developer myself. I noticed that the two new parameters mt32. …

how do I know if I want GS or GM mode in SCVA? What's the difference? Or, will the game automatically tell SCVA what mode to use? GS is a custom extension by Roland which adds hundreds of instruments on top of GM's 128 tones. The SC-55 has about 300 (600 for the SC-88, 1100 for the SC-88Pro and …

Built-in Dual Synth setup allows you to get full 16 channel GM mode as well a special 16 channel MT-32 mode. Is this better than vanilla Munt in some way? Do any games actually use this special dual-synth mode, or more channels than vanilla Munt offers? How would you know on a per-game basis? It …

Thanks guys for the tips. I'm pretty sure that I've got the output set correctly across all programs (dosbox, the game, SCVA, etc). However, the issue resolved when I reinstalled the game without applying the midi patch I mentioned above. How do I know if I want GS or GM mode in SCVA? What's the …

Thanks for the detailed explanation - makes sense. So in actuality, the only two options I'll probably ever switch between are win32 (for any external synthesizer), and mt-32 (for built-in Munt emulation). Assuming that I'm using Windows and also assuming I don't particularly care to use fluidsynth …

Thanks, though I'm still a bit confused -- when the default midi playback device is set to "default" - will it automacitlly choose win32 if you're running on Windows, period? How does "default" know what playback device is actually default? Sorry for being dense.

Also, Yesterplay, it seems that the following dosbox command line parameter: mixer /listmidi is no longer working as of the most recent ECE build. When I try it, it doesn't return anything at all. This is something that the D-Fend Reloaded frontend uses to make switching midi devices easier. Would …

I've been playing around with Sound Canvas VA a bit, and I have ran into a strange problem. In King's Quest VI, I get an incorrect sound when opening/closing the box (buried under the piece of driftwood) at the beginning of the game. Here's a video that demonstrates the issue. What's going on? In …

Hi, a couple questions: 1. Would DOSBox ECE r4019 run games like Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces II? If so, how would I get this working? 2. Does DOSBox ECE support any kind of functions which allow the launching of other programs before launching the game? Such as if I wanted to launch a midi …

But the Sound Canvas VA is not an open source program or am I missing something? So no chance for this. I already wrote you that for starting another program with Dosbox and end it with Dosbox you have to use another program that does all that. Yes, I saw that. And I've already written a batch file …

The VST MIDI Driver requires read/write permissions for wherever you have your VST instruments. If you can't write the configuration files, it will probably fail to save settings. Likely if they are located under Program Files. Actually, mine were originally located on a secondary HDD (separate …

Actually, I figured it out. By using a batch file and the ping command (as a method of making the batch file wait), it does pause accordingly. I may use a VBS script instead to completely hide the CMD window. Edit: The timeout parameter seems to work better for this purpose.

Hi Kode - I am still a bit unsure as to how exactly midiport is supposed to be used. I like your vst midi driver , however, the vst editor seems to not make or save any changes, and it doesn't actually reflect anything that is happening when it is being used. Otherwise, it seems to be a, more or …
