I have been recording videos of Stonekeep through DOSBox, and although I can get DOSBox to capture the sound blaster music, I cannot get it to capture the General MIDI music in a video. Could this be added to the video capture feature? I'd like to be able to get superior music in the videos of this game, especially if I hook up an external MIDI module, such as the Roland Sound Canvas 88-Pro. Could the sound capture options include what's coming through the speakers, perhaps, instead of just the audio? That might work.

MIDI sound is one of the few things that is not emulated by DOSBox - the MIDI instructions are merely passed on to the underlying operating system and its sound drivers. So if you want to record that, you need to use whatever sound recorder your OS provides.

That makes sense. I should have figured that was true about DOSBox.
