Seeing as you are an official member of the Dosbox team, does this mean that the MT32 dosbox release will become part of the official distribution? or are the two strains to remain seperate?

Bleurgh, Underdogs. You know, it's a great site and I'd like to think they really do actually pay attention if people point out that something may not be a/ware, but I know on the one occasion I mentioned something to them that my notice seemed to be directed to /dev/null... Yeah, but upon further …

Well, for the exception of some tuning issues, the latest dosbox release works rather well with ALL sierra games... At least PQ 1-3, SQ3, and LSL3 work well for me...

Well, this site is advertized on TechTV in Canada, so I guess it's somewhat safe to post here... http://www.the-underdogs.org has both games. It's an abandonware site which, from what I gather(from the commercial), seeks the permission of authors to post stuff. at least if there is a request from …

Use the SDL_NET.dll from the official dosbox release, and the latest version of SDL from the SDL website. this fixed all my problems.

never mind.... Latest SDL fixed it all.

After securing an MT-32 rom, I cannot get DosBox MT32 emulator to run... the driver works (with major sound bugs in SQ3, but I'm guessing that is expected) and I wish to try in Dosbox. What is the process for installing, if I already have DosBox 0.60? Do you have complete instructions for compiling? …

understood... I was only trying to find a way for me (and others) to get a working emulator without breaking the law... Unfortunately I am at the mercy of MT-32 owners to find a way... Although I did learn a little about how the device works, so it wasn't in vain... I love tinkering and finding how …

Ahh, I see the problem now. Thanks... Essentially, the PCM samples(similar to a WAV file) are static(non-updatable), while loadable patches are actually instructions regarding length. frequency, depth,waveform type, etc... to apply to a specific PCM sample... correct? so in effect, sysex patches do …

Yet another question, will the emulator allow, or can it be adapted, to load third party patches (Sysex/M32 files) without the ROM in order to create and dump a custom ROM? Also, what is involved in creating your own patches without an actual MT-32?

Has anyone actually replaced a Physical MT-32's default ROM with a new set of default samples? ie: not just loaded new sound banks, but physically replaced the ROM so that, in effect, on boot, the MT-32 had a different Native sound set? (Just curious). If so, would that ROM be available to the …

Well, this is why I'm asking... If it's just sounds in the ROM then it's easy to get around without pissing Roland off... On the other hand, if there's instructions/commands in the ROM, then It's a matter of reverse engineering those commands without looking at Roland's documentation etc... I'm sure …

What is in the ROM Exactly? I mean, is it just sound patches? if so, what is stopping someone from creating (and documenting the creation of, for legal purposes of course) soundbanks that sound VERY SIMILAR to the Roland ROM? or does the ROM contain instructions and commands as well?
