Issue with MT-32 emulation in latest versions
So it seems like the new MT-32 emulator is too slow for the Wii and makes everything slow down with the consequent sound stuttering, rendering it pretty much useless in this state.
I was wondering, would it be possible to revert to the old engine just for the Wii port? Or have an option to select between engines?

The code has been replaced completely with the new code.
I guess one option is to use an older version of ScummVM.
The old MT-32 emulator was pretty terrible at sounding like an MT-32 anyway. Not sure why anyone would use it or want it.
I'm not sure how the Wii works but if it is like Linux, you can run an MT-32 emulator stand-alone executable and have ScummVM (and Dosbox and any other software) use it as if it were a real MT-32.
You can probably just compile ScummVM for Wii with the new MT-32 stuff reverted if you really wanted to. (I am assuming you can do this if you were able to dump the MT-32 roms)

The Wii is not a multi-tasking console.

Why was the old one completely removed, anyway? It was at least useabale in less powerful devices.
Are there any comparisons between the old and new emulators, somewhere?

I can try to make a comparison recording that compares all 3 (old/new/real) if you like.
That would be very informative for everybody, thanks!
Could you do the Sam & Max intro, perhaps?

No.

Oh.
So... going back to the topic at hand, it's a real shame that the MT-32 emulator can't be used on the Wii version anymore. Just that. =|
