ImgBurn to turn them into .iso files and everything is fine. No need to use other stupid formats that you need like 4 different programmes to convert over and over to get a format that you can easily use on Windows / DOSBox / etc.

... Most of the time half or some of the instruments will not play at all as they seem to be on the unused channels 9 & 11-16. Is there a workaround for those scenarios, too? With Munt VSTi's dual synth you can get full 16 channel GM playback. GM compatible instruments and drum set are also …

How much of the code does this make readable? Just wondering, because if it would allow insight into a games code proper it would be really easy to create those OpenSource Shell programmes to run the games in as accurately as possible.
Re: Which "old-type" Roland MT-32 to get for DOS games?
Posted on 2021-02-12, 11:40
No straight answer? As I was wondering too, I guess it would be like this? : Best: Old Roland MT-32 up to serial number 851399 (most if not all games sound only right with this one) OK: Old revision 1 serial numbers 851400 - 950499 (if no other choice) Don't: New Roland MT-32 serial numbers 950500 …

Almost all +90's consoles in Germany had a SCART cable or an adapter that combined the 3 cables into SCART.

DOSBox saves all files (screenshots, videos, etc.) in the %appdata% folder: AppData\Local\DOSBox\ As for MUNT, did you install the right version for your PC? I think there are 3 different versions, I'm using the AMD64 one, as I have an AMD CPU. Also are you using HDR on your monitor or why do all …

With every DOS game you will always have to enter the "install" or "setup" in order to choose the correct sound/music and sometimes graphics options. Even if all files are already installed and in the folder.

You have to have MUNT open before you start DOSBox, then you can click either of the "Record" buttons while a music track is playing: https://i.imgur.com/TGymX2Z.png The upper one will record a .midi file and the lower one will record a .wav file, however most of the time the start of a track might …
