It plays standard MIDI files, as well as MIDI in RIFF (ie. Inappropriate trivia: the IRQ check routine that always fails wasn't done by Sierra but just copied from Creative Labs' very first Sound Blaster SDK.įRP.SX has the sound resources modified so that PCM tracks are included in the and track lists as well.ĭOSMid is a text mode MIDI and MUS player for DOS that can run on a 8086 CPU. SX.OVL includes an AUDBLAST.DRV that doesn't fail to initialize on faster machines. The modification could be done more elegantly right now it is forced to always load AUDBLAST.DRV, no matter the setting. KRONDOR.EXE had to be modified so that it even bothers to call up AUDBLAST.DRV with any RESOURCE.CFG entry other than SNDBLAST.DRV. Patch to play General MIDI sound along with PCM samples. Thanks for the updated version of the driver. I also tried it with SQ3 and it seems to work fine there as well. I got no static when knocking on the witch house door if you still do, report. Since in this game all PCM sound effects sound different from their respective MIDI data, no selectivity is needed. I've increased the SB initialization timeout in MTBLAST.DRV to where there should be no problem at 10000 cycles and even higher, so I hope that resolves the speed issue.

If you subsequently want to switch to the MT32.DRV or SNDBLAST.DRV drivers then delete the separate SOUND.* files.
#General midi player windows archive#
Extract the archive into the game directory and make sure soundDrv=MTBLAST.DRV is in the RESOURCE.CFG file. I'll let those more familiar with the game than myself decide if it's fully working or not. MT-32 music with SB sfx seems to be working in QFG2 version 1.102 and 1.105 with the attached patch.

This driver corrects problems with some high-resolution Sierra games that support both MT-32 and DAC playback.
Comments on whether it does are appreciated. In theory, it should work will all language versions. APPLY.BAT must only be run once to modify MONKEY2.001 in the manner described then it can be deleted. In addition, APPLY.BAT fixes the programming mistake that the barkeep's spitting sound is only heard on AdLib. REORDER.COM simply reorders them so that the PCM one appears first in the file. The reason is that these exist for PCM, AdLib and Roland, but MONKEY2.EXE will give the Roland file to the sound driver because that one appears first in MONKEY2.001. Replacing ROLAND.IMS would have been the more logical option, but unfortunately, the game's script code knows what the selection is and will not even bother to try to play Largo's "whoa!" sound effects with any selection other than Sound Blaster, so it is this driver that has to be replaced.ĪPPLY.BAT must be run once in order to hear all PCM "spitting" sound effects. SOUNBLAS.IMS replaces the original SOUNBLAS.IMS, so you have to run the game with "MONKEY2 s". Until now.Īttached find a patch that allows for Roland MT-32 music together with PCM sound effects for the Sound Blaster, and AdLib sound effects when they are the only ones available. If you want both, you are forced to use ScummVM, which in my opinion seriously breaks the whole retrogaming experience (and its OPL2 emulation is hideous IMHO). Monkey Island 2 has great music with a Roland MT-32 however, most sound effects can only be heard with the AdLib or Sound Blaster selection.

To install for DOS, extract MI1_Ultimate_Talkie_Edition_1.02.zip and put the MI1_Ultimate_Talkie_Edition_Builder folder where you have Monkey1.pak installed.ģ) Run install.bat and wait for the MI1 Ultimate Talkie Edition to be created. You also need a copy of xWMAEncode.exe (not included here for legal reasons).ġ) Put xWMAEncode.exe inside the tools subfolder. 1 GB of temporary disk space, 194 MB for DOS, 825 MB for FLAC and 168 MB for Ogg Vorbis version. To get this working, you need a copy of Monkey Island Special Edition PC version installed, approx. Music support added for MT-32, General MIDI and Ad Lib. Ultimate "Talkie" Edition - this builds a talkie version for DOS and ScummVM out of the SE version.

Also available here are the original user manuals for lots of the hardware.
Roland MT-32, as well as General MIDI (Roland SC-55, etc). There are game patches to help MIDI sound modes work in games, or play better when combined with OPL2/3 sound effects, plus DOS and Windows utilities and applications that can be used for both pre-General MIDI, e.g. These downloads are all MIDI-related or "pre-MIDI" sample sound-related.
