I use version v1.0

Version v1.3 has setup.exe and you can configure sound and music separately. It has Roland option, but there is no CMS option Sad

I have managed to get CMS music in Prince of Persia from a Sound Blaster 2.0 Smiley

I just removed two FM chips from their sockets on the card and the game detects CMS now Smiley
So I can play the game with CMS music and Sound Blaster sound effects Smiley (when i run it without parameter or with "sblast" parameter)

Or I can play the game with CMS music and speaker sound effects if i run the game with "gblast" parameter.

I was less than impressed with the high pitched music.  Still, its good to know that you can solve Game Blaster/Sound Blaster compatibility problems by removing the OPL chips.  (I assume you mean the YM3812 and YM3014 chips.)

Any chance of an MP3 or OGG of the title music?

Thanks...

You can hear it yourself in DOSBox.
It is even better there, cause I wasn't able to completely get rid of timing problems with real hardware. I have tried 286, 386 and 486, turbo buttons on/off, disabling cache. Sometimes it played almost perfect, sometimes worse. Mostly randomly. As far as I remember it was best on 286.
But in dosbox it is always perfect Smiley
