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 …

It should work since Win ME is booting off of 98 MSDOS 7.1 but any reason or cause you think it wouldn't? Just one: IIRC this didn't work... I'll have to try this myself. So you can't recall any errors or what exactly did or didn't work? Did it boot into the MS-DOS 7.1? Did you have the Boot …

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... :( Yes you need the Windows 98 Instrument Configuration to do the mixing of …

If I copy the Munt folder to the startup folder of 98 and have it autorun on boot or if manually selecting it as an icon in the Programs Files listing it will pop up two identical windows pop up errors. Wait. Why do you copy the entire munt folder there? :confused: Because you need to load MUNT …

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 …

Sat down to play Out There Somewhere and accidentally clicked on Out There: Omega Edition instead. Yes, these are two entirely different games. I bought OT:Omega during a steam sale months ago and hadn't tried it yet, so I figured I may as well give it a go. Four hours later, my evening was gone & …

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. …

I'm going to use my saved image from DOS 7.1 and overwrite the C: boot partition to restore it back. Then it should allow me to run Win ME but retain the DOS 7.1 front without patching. I'm afraid this won't work. But you are free to try. It should work since Win ME is booting off of 98 MSDOS 7.1 …

First, I should pay attention that "MUNT98" doesn't exist. There is no dedicated support for Windows 9x in the codebase yet (but soon there will be). One notable thing is I had to use old MinGW compiler that provides for considerably less optimised code in order to ensure compatibility of C/C++ …

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 …

I missed the point. As I understand it, DOS and Windows 9x that runs on top of the DOS core only boots fine while the system BIOS (or BIOS emulation in EFI of today's 64-bit systems) provide necessary support. I have a 800MHz Celeron with 4 USB1.1 ports which cannot boot from any USB device, until …

But let me try to bring a little more clarity. I don't think you need the Coolsoft or any other sort of MIDI mapper to route MIDI stream from DOSBox to munt. This is not an issue with DOSBox at all since the MIDI port it uses is configurable. You can easily change the port number using midiconfig …

Re: Is munt windows 98 compatibel?

Posted on 2017-09-16, 12:04

Yep, sure. Besides, it seems that I can pull off the 16-bit Windows 9x driver. Found a free C++ complier from M$ in Windows ME DDK 8) Wait what isn't fully compatible at the moment and what's not working? It seems working only with DOSBOX in conjuction with the MIDIYOKE program but MUNT98 needs to …

Congratulations, you've really managed to confuse me :) So, let's start over. What is your ultimate goal? Do you want to run MT32 emulation in DOS, Windows 9x, XP or Vista+? Or everywhere? Do you want your games just to run a bit faster with Windows 9x? I'm really confused. SergM, I have replied to …
