First of all, I have Windows 7 x64, so Munt wont install. At least not that I know of: I read there are a few DOSBox CVS builds that have Munt implemented. Not sure if I say it correctly. I also read you have to enter the line set device=mt32 None of that works. Last but not least, I also have the roms, but I'm not sure where I should place these. Z: drive or game folder or somewhere in a windows folder 1. If the right MT-32 midi mapper doesn't show up in the midi mapper is there still a way to get the right sound from DOSBox? 2. What are the right parameters to override the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth in DOSBox? 3. How to load the ROMS in DOSBox? 3. Which DOSBox CVS is the best one? I got gulikoza's DOSBox All questions above have probably been asked, but not too sure about the right answers. Thanks in advance

Or are these DOS files and should I mount the DOSBox folder in DOSBox and fiddle around in DOS with these ROMS?

I take it that you got the roms from your own MT32 ? _________________ Water flows down the stream How to ask questions the smart way

Here's some examples which I missed before, but saves me some time checking if games are working properly or not After starting DOSBox it immediately says which midi device is loaded. Original DOSBox gulikoza's CVS Build EDIT: after fiddling more with it I used this parameter. The last line did the trick in gulikoza's CVS Build. Code: [midi] mpu401=intelligent device=mt32 mididevice=MT32 Not too sure why something so easy could not be posted here

It is all explained 5 lines higher: Code: # mididevice: Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401. # Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio, coremidi, mt32, none. _________________ DOSBoxcvs-090407 + patches (4.7.2009): http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza
