Thanks, I'll take a look. Sounds like it's still ultimately a shortcoming of DOSBox for not being able to emulate a Tandy BIOS with a machine= setting other than Tandy. Edit: It worked, thanks!

Looking over an old thread: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=9494 With tandy=on, I still don't get Tandy music in Dune 2 unless I also set machine=tandy - but then of course I get no video, because the game requires VGA. Are there additional settings required to make tandy=on work, or is the …

lordskylark: Thanks for the info. It's odd that you mention the MT-32 rather than the CM-32L, though, as it appears that the games take special advantage of the latter.

Nice! You should consider putting the dumps on the Internet Archive so they can be preserved.

What's the current wiki password? The one described above doesn't seem to be working. I see edits on the wiki made as recently as 18 Oct 2017, so it must have been reopened at some point?

The MT-32 LCD shows instrument changes and such, but it's mostly useless information I suppose. Regarding Qt: I guess you're right - it looks like I did piggyback on the Qt stuff for my Logitech G15 mod: https://github.com/HunterZ/munt/commit/fdf463996adf3e6335c43997e6c992fd4e3bbe66 Someone should …

Out of curiosity, isn't Microsoft's own Windows XP Mode a good emulator for Windows XP because, well, it is actually Windows XP? Tried that a couple years ago and it's complete garbage. It uses Remote Desktop to interact with the VM, which is completely unsuitable for gaming. Only VMWare and …

This is great! Been thinking for a long time that it would be awesome to see Munt's simulated LCD output on a real LCD (which is why I made this: https://youtu.be/ExRFasoLT7o ). I'm curious why this project only shows SysEx text and not the full MT-32 LCD output though? I'm also impressed that the …

D-Fend Reloaded won't run with the lastest version of DOSBox-x (0.82.4). When I change the custom DOSBox installation to that of DOSBox-x in the profile of one of my games, it would crash with the message: E_Exit Can't init SDL No available video device. D-Fend Reloaded hasn't seen any updates for …

it's really stupid how BASS has no native PulseAudio support considering a ton of idiot-proof Linux distro's use it as the sound server... You Linux guys can give PulseAudio all the BS whining you want, but it's unfortunately here to stay. Stop making up excuses and actually write code to use it …

Looks like BASSMIDI has a Linux library too. Interesting that nobody uses FluidSynth on Windows or BASSMIDI on Linux. I guess it would be best for people to pour effort into FluidSynth then.

The community needs to work on an open-source SF2+DLS software wavetable MIDI synthesizer. Maybe use Munt as the starting point, since it works well in Windows and Linux. Right now we're stuck with Fluidsynth, which is old and Linux only, and BASSMIDI which is closed-source and Windows-only.
