I am trying to play Companions of Xanth using mt32 sound. So far I have failed miserably.
I am rather new to dosbox, but after significant research, I managed to find
Gulikoza's build and the relevant mt32 roms which I copied to the folder of the game i mount. I am using the following parameters, taking care to use the mt32 option for MIDI
[note that i tried both mpu401=uart and intelligent]
# Config file for profile "Companions of Xanth"
[cpu]
core=auto
cycles=10000
cycleup=500
cycledown=20
[mixer]
nosound=false
rate=22050
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=10
[midi]
[b]mpu401=uart
device=mt32[/b]
config=
[sblaster]
sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
mixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplrate=22050
[gus]
gus=true
gusrate=22050
gusbase=240
irq1=5
irq2=5
dma1=1
dma2=1
ultradir=C:\ULTRASND
[speaker]
pcspeaker=true
pcrate=22050
tandy=auto
tandyrate=22050
disney=true
[dos]
xms=true
ems=true
umb=true
keyboardlayout=US
I omitted pasting the rest of the parameters.
The result is that I get no music, just the voices. Also the game's .ini file [legend.ini] is the following
MOUSE=MOUSE
MUSIC=MT32 2 330
SOUND=BLASTER 7 220
GAMEDATA=c:\XANTH\
SAVEDATA=C:\XANTH\
I suspect I will have the same mt-32 issues with any game of Legend's [eric the unready, gateway 1 and gateway 2], therefore helping me here, will help me in the other games as well.
