Re: MUNT 98 Testing

On Win9x/2000/XP the 'Master Volume' actually shows the mixer topology of the real sound hardware represented by the driver of the sound card. So no application can magically insert its own mixer control to your sound card's mixer panel. I think there is a possibility, though. For example, the old …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

I would guess this is more related to the OS code optimization since you would expect the newer generation i7 to perform way better and the fact it's running on 9X would increase it's performance even further compared to the XP overhead. No, I don't expect Win 9x to perform any better on modern …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

The MidiYoke does make things more interesting. You can combine say MT-32 and SC-55 using different instruments for each Midi channel to make an interesting mix. Not MIDIYoke but the windows midi mapper. I miss it... 🙁

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

Later it would be nice if we could shrink that MT-32 LED display panel so it can become an overlay inside the DOSBOX window with a transparency setting in case the user wants to see the MT-32 display panel as semi transparent or solid within the DOSBOX window / in the game. What do you think about …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

Also can you add a check box option to start MUNT in "Test MIDI Driver" mode which displays the MT-32 status info LED panel rather than the regular blank canvas? I would like to see this check box option for Munt98 and XP. There is really no need to run an empty synth that just consumes resources. …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

Can you add a checkbox option to preload a MIDI INPUT from MIDIINPUT.cfg to skip an extra few steps so it's as simple as the XP version? This is not how it works in Windows XP+. There is another component, mt32emu_win32drv. This one creates a Windows MIDI port and routes data to the synth (either …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

When run on XP on a dual core at 1.6GHz I found that it barely scratches the CPU utilization of 8% average and 12% peak on DOSBOX but Munt doesn't seem to even hit 1%. These figures are not very accurate. I was able to fool the performance tools in Windows XP by setting audio chunk size to 1 …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

Most people today probably wouldn't understand DOS if they saw it so if you left the machine running it'd probably keep looping the game and the employee would pound the touch pad and try to quit out of it not knowing they were in DOS and eventually just unplug the laptop and let it reboot into the …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

[MIDI INPUT 1] [MIDI INPUT 2] [MIDI INPUT 3] [MIDI INPUT 4] I'm sure there is something really wrong with that. To route MIDI stream from a single application to another, you need only one MIDI Yoke loopback port. It is capable to route all 16 channels, no need to split (if only you want some …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

It could be that WinME might be a better OS for DOSBOX since it started supporting WDM drivers. Maybe it is possible to mix a 98 DOS and have WinME run on top of it. I could force it myself for a later test. No way. Windows ME requires DOS 8.0. Also, you can easily get DOS 8.0 on a floppy by …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

After hundreds of reboots, I become to a thought about DOSBox for DOS thing. As I already mentioned, new systems are mostly EFI based and often EFI implementations are not great. Especially in emulation of BIOS functions. For instance, my old Aspire E1-771G cannot boot to any MBR partition unless to …

Re: MUNT 98 Testing

Well, the munt MIDI driver for Windows 9x will miss at least one feature. It cannot determine the application which opens a MIDI port because this is always the MM system. It is currently unstable but I hopefully can reimplement the way of message sending more safely from the damn Windows 9x API …
