MT-32 / Munt about dosbox-svn HOT 7 CLOSED

Use DOSBox-core instead, which has built-in support for MT-32 (Munt), as well as external MIDI support to select the correct MIDI ports in the core options if you want to use the external, stand-alone version of Munt.

Use DOSBox-core instead, which has built-in support for MT-32 (Munt), as well as external MIDI support to select the correct MIDI ports in the core options if you want to use the external, stand-alone version of Munt.

I'm not picky about where my MT-32 support comes from and I like some of the SVN features. Is there a way to enable any
MT32 music in SVN at all, or is it impossible?

Thanks,

and I like some of the SVN features

dosbox-core has all SVN features, plus extra stuff. dosbox-svn is the legacy core for old systems where dosbox-core doesn't run.

Gotcha. I was under the impression that the reverse was true. In most other arenas I usually see SVN as the latest and greatest.

I tried out Core and it is indeed running MT-32 stuff. I think I'm using the non-Munt MT32 though. I can't figure out how to set it up so that it passes through to the Munt client as it appears that RA and Core both only see the Client 14 "Midi Through Port 0"

Is this just a limitation of my setup, or am I just pooching the settings some how?

Thanks

The Munt client is using ALSA, so in the core options select "ALSA" in the "Sound: MIDI driver" option. Make sure Munt is already running though before you start the core. Munt then should show up as one of the ports in the "Sound: ALSA MIDI port" option. The core will remember the port by name, so even if the port number of the Munt client changes in the future, it will find the port since it's still called "Munt MT-32":

If, on the other hand, you want to use the built-in Munt that comes with the core, then set the "MIDI driver" core option to "MT-32 emulator". Make sure you copy the MT-32 ROMs (CM32L_CONTROL.ROM, CM32L_PCM.ROM, MT32_CONTROL.ROM and MT32_PCM.ROM) to the RA system directory. Then you don't need to run an external Munt client anymore.

Ok. I wasn't seeing the 128:0 option in my menu. It only had 14:0 available. I'll try it again, but I'm pretty sure. Thanks for the more detailed info.

I've got the second option running though.

Thanks again :)
