Munt has been integrated into the latest DOSBox Turbo build for Android. I've tried it, runs pretty good. Currently it only looks for the MT-32 ROM files, not the CM-32L ones.

With decent emulation available, do you think the price of the real modules will be affected? Of course, an MT-32 isn't that hard to get. CM modules are more scarce.

What about General Midi emulation? I know it's built into Windows, but doesn't quite sound like the real thing. I used an SCC-1 back in the day.

The copy I have has an MPC logo on the CD, but the audio file seems identical to the 15th anniversary edition. Sorry, I no longer have the box.

Munt may not be 100-percent accurate yet. But when you say it sounds exactly like an MT-32 and nothing like a CM-32L, I don't get it. One of the guys that works on the emulator has said that they've closely examined the inner workings of a CM-32L, while they haven't done digital captures from an MT-32 yet. I own both real modules, it seems like a fairly accurate CM-32L emulator to me.

If only the MT-32 ROM is present, games that require a CM-32L/LAPC-I will certainly not sound correct. Otherwise, a real CM-32L sounds quite like an MT-32.

I think they've studied digital captures made from a CM-32L. You need to get the CM-32L ROM files to make it sound/work like a CM-32L.
Google is your friend.

I'm quite sure that TFX was composed for a CM-32L/LAPC-I and doesn't sound correct on an MT-32.

I'm willing to take it apart and take a few photos - soon, perhaps tomorrow.

To make things clear:

- In the numbering from left to right?
- Does the card need both +5v and +12v, as well as -12v to operate as a midi module (externally)?
- Do I need to use a PC power supply or would a couple of universal AC adapters do?

Well, I've messed around with the card a bit, so I may have blown it already. I can get it to produce some humming sound off the headphones socket, but I certainly haven't been able to make it play music....Can someone tell me which power lines have to be connected so that I can use the card externally?

I was a C64 freak back in the 1980's so I preferred joyticks, I wasn't too happy about having to play games with a keyboard on a PC. I own some consoles, including PS3 and XBOX360. I rarely play on a PC anymore, unless it's emulation, current games just aren't good enough for me to spend a lot of money on a "powerhouse" PC. Consoles are different, games are optimized to run o.k. on everyone's machine. True, the PS3 and the XBOX are already getting old, so the PC versions should beat them in terms of detail and frame rate, if one has a really powerful set-up.

Seems uncracked. In Hungary, you couldn't even legally buy any decent video games up until about 1993-1994, so no, I do not have the original manual...

Is the stereo FM support for OPL3? I don't suppose the SB Pro 1.0 with stereo OPL2 would be supported as well?

Very, very, cool find, but I haven't made it through the manual protection screen.

So...does anyone know how to extract the AdLib music files so that they are playable using the AdPlug plugin?

How do I extract the resources? There is AdPlay, the DOS version of AdPlug, that should work in DOSBox with OPL passthrough.

Thanks for the info! What you mention seems like it might be doable in a DOSBox emulated Win3.1 or Win95, using the OPL passthrough mode under XP. I'm not sure it can be done in XP. I'll give this a try.

I know of SCI resource viewer, which can play all midi music through an MT-32 or GM module. Is there something, either for DOS or Windows, that properly plays the AdLib music in Sierra games?

I managed to get my YMF-724 card to work in Windows XP in OPL passthrough mode, that card should be suitable to record the FM music.

Thanks, it brings back memories!

The CM-300 should offer the same quality as the original SC-55, shouldn't it?

I loved the T.F.X. soundtrack on my SCC1, but I assume that's a conversion, huh?

I never had an analog joystick that worked o.k. for me. They were impossible to calibrate properly. Only later, the USB ones worked good for me.

Isn't Monkey Island 2 a second gen. MT-32 composition?

The CM-32L will not clip if you execute sysex to set the digital volume to a moderate level before loading up Wing Commander.
