You probably already figured it out, but... Try adding the commands to run ultramid.exe and gravis.exe to the end of your dosbox-0.74.conf (or whatever .conf file you're using for the game). For example, have something like the following at the end of your dosbox-0.74.conf in the [autoexec] section …

I'll rephrase that then...the game produces sound effects from whatever is set to play its MIDIs...if it's an MT-32 you get MT-32 SFX, if it's an adlib, you get FM SFX...I hope that was clear enough. Yes, thanks. That matches the results I got. you can DL the WC1 Win95 Remake for free if you google …

On a Windows computer with an MT-32 attached, using v r c27 z in the wingcmdr.cfg (for MT-32 sound) produces both music and SFX when the MT-32 is turned on, however there is no sound at all when the MT-32 is turned off. If the game always uses Adlib for SFX, then why would there be no SFX when the …

MIDI is not the same than music. Yes, MIDI is used only to play music (although it has some f/x, I highly doubt any game has ever used MIDI events for sound f/x) but not every music played on games is MIDI. MIDI means "those events thrown trough the MIDI port or to MIDI synthetizers", but your Wing …

Wasn't asking about trying to install MUNT on Linux -- spent too much time on that already to no avail. The FM for WC says to run the install.exe -- which is either missing or does not work. Tweaking the wc.conf file hasn't helped with the midi, though it helped with other things like aspect ratio, …

Maybe you've got the same problem as Totempole did -- http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=40089 It's not the same video card, but it's a similar vintage, on Windows 98. In the Bios I enabled "Assign IRQ to VGA" and it worked like magic. If Totempole's solution doesn't help, boot to Safe Mode …

The Mac is an iMac with Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8). I put the ROM's in /Users/ username /roms (which was the default location suggested by MUNT). I've been testing with MUNT's built-in midi player. I think the midi files for LucasArts games that I downloaded from Mixnmojo may not be MT32-compatible. I …

OK, it works from terminal. I guess I could create a .bat file if this was Windows, but it's a Mac. Maybe something like this would work https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2778315

That works differently with the app bundle, something with -args or so. If you use dosbox.app/contents/macos/dosbox you can directly pass arguments, though OK I'll try that then. Thanks.

Windows 7 recognized it just fine, and could copy the contents of DISK2, as well as create a DISKCOPY copy of the floppy from the command line. However the installer had the …
