Mt32 scummvm files4/8/2024 ![]() ![]() O Simon the Sorcerer 2 has only native GM support. O Simon the Sorcerer has only native MT-32 support. O Inherit the Earth has only native MT-32 support. O The Manhole has only native MT-32 support. It's a mere fallback mode, it doesn't trigger a proper MT-32 soundtrack. There's no point in mentioning that a specific GM game can support MT-32 when technically speaking, *all* GM games can (very loosely) support MT-32.Īs LogicDeluxe said, the MT-32 can indeed play any GM game, provided you intialized the synth with a pseudo-GM bank remapping command via a custom sysex (which is what the Miles installer does in many post-1992 games). In light of this, one should really make a distinction between native LA and native GM support. see bug 1393726Įdited according to the corrections of Charlii, LogicDeluxe, Kaminari and LordHoto.ĭon't count on MG for accurate information.Īs for native MIDI support in post-1992 games, it's mostly GM except for a few exceptions (for the record, GM appeared in 1991 and didn't gain much recognition before 1993). That behaviour has apparently been corrected to some extent in ScummVM. (2+) The original interpreter is not compatible with the first generation devices (firmware lock ups). Simon the Sorcerer 2 (DOS versions) (?LAPC-I) The Secret of Monkey Island (Floppy versions only. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (LAPC-I) The Legend of Kyrandia: Hand of Fate (composed for GM, but the MT-32 support is native) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (LAPC-I) 2) I've included some Sierra games without knowing if their AGI version supports the MT-32. It's probably inexact for two reasons: 1) It's based on the Mobygames list which may be incomplete. For example the spitting and slicing sounds (MI2 at the kitchen and bar) sound quite different compared to a MT-32(Old).Here's a list of ScummVM games supporting the MT-32. That's where you want to have a CM-32L as they use some of the 33 custom sounds. Just depends if you are up for the discovery or not. There is also a list on Wikipedia with games that sound different. This is because the MT-32(Old) amplifies the signal a different way compared to all the other units. On all the other units it clips (clipping is when you overdo it with an amp and it distorts). ![]() During the fireworks scene the MT-32(Old) is the only device where the fire works don't clip (you still need to set the volume to ~ 60 or so). So you won't have an issue replicating these phenomenons.Īnother game is Wing Commander. I even have a YouTube video in that link which was recorded on a MT-32(Old). It's not something you notice when you just play the game, you really need to be kind of a perfectionist and have attention to detail The differences are subtle and only certain custom sounds are affected. I tested it and compared practically all my Sierra and Dynamix games with MT32 recordings from Queststudios and they all sound exactly the same on my CM-32L - both in DOSBox and (as far as support goes) in ScummVM. I can test it on XP machine but even if it works well, that doesn't really help me in any way. I also have SB128 soundcard with MIDI output but it's no longer supported in 圆4 systems. So, should we all get a "compatible" interface that might just stop working come next Windows version, or wouldn't it be better to add a software workaround for new hardware to ScummVM?Īnd yes, I do have another, cheap USB MIDI interface but that one never quite worked right. One such cable was close to being made obsolete when the manufacturer got very tardy with 圆4 driver for Vista and Windows 7. No idea why, maybe those have built-in SysEx throttling or are simply somewhat slower in general. I do realize that there are MIDI cables out there that "just work". All I'm asking for is a system like in DOSBox, doesn't even need to be a GUI option, I can work with config files just fine. ScummVM doesn't work properly for me and there is no way, as far as I know, to slow down SysEx data sent to MT-32. The reason this got added is because many people had problems similar to mine, and asked for help on VOGONS forum. Just like that, never had any real problems with it.ĭOSBox works only when slowed down to a crawl, or with the SysEx throttling system introduced in SVN. I don't think it's broken though, rather it's too fast for the poor old MT-32 Oh, I'm pretty sure now it's due to my USB MIDI interface.
