Realms of Arkania: Star Trail: Redbook audio or Roland SC-55?

Redbook audio. The Redbook audio recordings use Roland SC-55, Proteus-1 samples and an unknown drum kit. I don't know what version people use who say that the Redbook audio versions are shorter, because they are not, they are longer. The demo versions of the game include a few of the longer versions as XMI files.

Simon the Sorcerer II: I was going to move this to the false compatibility section due to both GM/MT drivers outputting the same data, but for some reason my copy of the game plays distorted and clearly wrong-sounding MIDI music when played through DOS (it sounds fine when played through ScummVM) - is my own copy defective or did this game just ship with faulty MSS drivers?

Simon the Sorcerer II has two sets of MIDI files: MT-32 and General MIDI. The MT-32 MIDI files are played if there is a file named "MIDI" in the directory, otherwise the General MIDI files are played. The SETUP program creates the file "MIDI" when selecting either MT-32 or General MIDI, even as it should only create it with MT-32. Solution: delete the "MIDI" file when selecting General MIDI. Apart from that problem, I know of no problems with the MIDPAK drivers. Which one is the original synth? Difficult to say; the MT-32 versions differ from the General MIDI ones in some cases, seemingly being earlier versions. On the other hand, some songs are completely missing on MT-32, such as during the intro when Runt talks to his father.

Hi, thank you for this valuable piece of information.

So I started with Soundblaster sound on Simon the Sorcerer 2 and if I understand you correctly, now after I have installed a GM wavetable, I go to the setup and change it to GM and then save and delete the midi file in the same folder.

And I can test if it works if in the Intro Runts scene has background music because I read that some scenes like this one did not have music with MT-32.
