Hi, I have a question about my new MT-32. Does the MT-32 properly play "Sound Canvas" audio? I selected Sound Canvas on DOOM, and the music plays, but am I getting the correct sound? Or do I need a SC-55 to properly play Sound Canvas audio? Thanks!! Check out my 3! hour long tutorial here...

For General MIDI, Roland actually sells a virtual Sound Canvas. You can also use Sound Fonts to find something that fits your taste. For the MT-32 there is the MUNT project, a MT-32 emulator. ScummVM has all of this integrated (apart from ROM files for example), whereas with DOSBox you need to manua...

Well later Sound cards had, Roland equivalent, MIDI support built in. Earlier card had a wavetable port that allowed you to connect a General MIDI module. There were tons of options, Roland, Yamaha and Creative all had one. I guess in the beginning it was simply to complex / expensive to accomplish ...

If you like typing, I can highly recommend the adventures from Legend Entertainment.

Gateway for example

I've never understood how a midi player differs from a sound-card. A midi player is just a program that plays midi files. Like a dos version of media player that can only play midi files :) Maybe you need MIDI device or MIDI module? That's what the Roland MT-32 is. Oh my!! I haven't been on the for...

Yes these are sound drivers. The older Lucasarts adventure games had command flags that would allow you to enforce different sound standards. For example MONKEY.EXE i would be the PC speaker, MONKEY.EXE a would be Adlib and MONKEY.EXE r for roland. It seems that the later version has the speech driv...

The thing is, there is no "right" time because CD rom drives had different speeds and access times. I remember my very first CD-Rom drive, the Mitsumi single speed drive that you had to pull out and open a lid, was the fastest drive for changing tracks. Later drives took a lot longer. The ...

Are you in any way associated with the MUNT project?

No I'm not. I have hear good things about the future however. It should be good once "it's done"

Nice! I watched the entire tutorial and learned a few things :) Never really knew the difference between the devices. I only have a MT-32 (old). Now I'm curious what games used the CM-32 sound effects that I've been missing out on Thanks! And that's the whole magic about this topic! Back in the day...

Finally. It's DONE!!! A comprehensive (this video is over 3 hours long) video explaining everything you need to know about the Roland MT-32 and compatible MIDI units from Roland. Some parts are a bit boring and full of technical details, but many parts have game footage, audio recordings and hands-o...

I thoroughly enjoyed Lost Horizon. My brother told me about another game, A New Beginning. He purchased the German version and finished it. I never heard of this game and he told me that's likely because it's not on Steam (yet). I also couldn't find a digital version (yet). http://www.kochmedia.at/h...

Not for these types of games.

You can try the VGA version of Space Quest 1 instead. It has the point and click interface, just like Space Quest 4 and later.

Awesome to see the next generation take an interest in these classic Games!

The Apple does sound the best. In Europe though we didn't have them in schools or at friends. Same goes for the Tandy.

So I only experienced the PC speaker

The Tandy version sounds nicer (through DOSBox or ScummVM) and that's the main version I play now.

Damn purists :) For me ScummVM has always been about "improving" the experience with things such as smoother mouse, more save games or new music. For authenticity just play on a real 486 :) In terms of default options, IMO the plain Sound Blaster (OPL3 FM plus digital sound) would be my ch...
