I found out how to match the speed of the Roland driver with the Adlib driver in Mortal Kombat 1 MS-DOS and I also fixed the MT-32 checksum error.
I only tested the fix with Dosbox and Munt because my MT-100 is in storage. Maybe someone can test it with a real MT-32?
The ROLAND.DRV file needs to be edited in a hex editor with the code below.

Yes, the music tempo is much slower with Roland compared to Adlib.

thanks, i did not notice because really... MT-32 music in mortal kombat really sucks, only SB sound good

Anyways, i tried your patch, 486DLC33, real MT-32, and i did not notice any speed up, i attach the patched drv i made

Maybe you MK is different version, there is soo much versions of MK

Thanks for testing the patch. However, the file you attached is the original unpatched file.

I play with Ultratech v2 from the original 3 floppies I bought from ebay.

You right, my apologies, i moddify the roland file, but copy again the original file by mistake

I can confirm your patch work fine in real hardware!! thanks

Still i will use SB for this game, but nice to have the option of proper roland sound
