you'd have to edit the sourcecode and compile dosbox.

wow thats a fast reply
thx

the question is:
is it worth the work and
will the gus in dosbox be able to handle more than 1mb ram ?

seems what i want: a classic gus with more than 1 mb ram was not possible with a real gus.

i guess the gus in dosbox is a classic one and not the pnp version which can handle 8 mb.

Well, that all depends on how badly you want to play these MIDI files, doesn't it?

i guess its more difficult than just replace a 1024 with a 2048 or a 4096 somewhere in the source code 😀

Yeh you'd need to implement the whole amd interwave stuff. Guess it's easier to just run a better midi output engine with support for large soundfonts.

yep but interwave (gus pnp) may sound a bit different form old gus
other patches....

may be its possible to add 2mb ram to the old gus with dosbox gus source code (even when only 1 mb was possible for a real gus classic)
may be dosbox will support different gus models in the future like with soundblaster today 😀
gus classic
gus max
gus pnp
gus ace
gus cd3
gus extreme

😀

As long as you're only interested in playing MIDI files, I seem to recall that there's a GUS emulator that works with Win9x. (I have no idea how to find it, though.)

I believe it's this one: http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu/. I have never used it, however, so I don't know if it actually works.

PS: Interesting, just found a very old, related VOGONS topic from you, Jorpho: GUSemu difficulties
