from what i read the scummvm team are busy with midi support so you can use mt-32.

Vlad is working on MT-32 emulation so hopefully you won't need the thing soon. 😀 In any case, SPEEDSET is really the only way to deal with this problem, and yes, it does cause speed variance. Unfortunately, there is no other way to do things. Sorry.

And Harekiet, ScummVM only works for LEC and AdventureSoft games, remember? 😉 No Sierra SCI engine games.

Oh, though, that makes me think. Try FreeSCI. It might have MPU-401 support.

Thanks a lot,

I wonder what that mt-32 emulation is about....
can you tell me more about it?
Is it a mt32 kind of sw synth or a "real-time" midi mapping prog?
When will it be available?

Sw-synth. Will be available after I find a FIFO chip for my USB digital audio recorder/logic probe and after I get some time to continue rev-eng'ing the MT's sound (well, OK, I think I know pretty well how it works but I want to do a proper emulation a la Jarek's AdLib emu.).

V.

That reminds me of PS2's vector engine.

1/1 != 1
*cough*

Maybe you could use a bootdisk with sounddrivers to boot to dos and play the games from there.

Since he's running Windows XP there a rather big chance that he's also running NTFS and NTFS partitions can't be accessed from DOS (unless some 3rd party drivers are used).
