The one who flew Sweet! Could you make a recording of the sound and put up another youtube video of it? I've seen a couple of yours (unless there's another beigemore out there).

beigemore Apparently ps1audio needs to be set to off in dosbox.conf, otherwise this game has issues with the MT-32.

beigemore Yeah, I've tried multiple versions. I even own an original copy of the game. I also tried replacing the pc speaker sound files with the mt32 ones and it didn't matter. Guess I'll just check vogons.

The one who flew Hey, look what I found:

This version has a setup for your sound settings!

dosraider beigemore, As your problem is kinda technical and MT-32 specific I think you would better post it in a specialized forum, where some real specialists about those matters dwell.

The one who flew Stubborn game, doesn't seem to have a setup for choosing settings, rather decides to do everything itself The manual isn't any help either.

Diable the PC speaker emulation altogether in dosbox.conf maybe(pcspeaker=false)? Try disabling other sound stuff also, maybe that would force to game to look for the MIDI output.

Should probably shell out a couple of bucks and look for a real, used MT-32 on ebay or something myself. Tried emulators but looking at youtube recordings of the real thing they aren't the same.

beigemore I use DOSBox on my good computer (Q6600). The P75 is running DOS 6.22. There's no way DOSBox would ever run on that thing...

On the P75, I've got an MPU-401 (an MPU-IPC) I use to connect the MT-32. Prince of Persia uses the MT-32 and sounds great. I believe it also works fine going over the SB16's MIDI/gameport instead of the MPU.

On my real PC running Windows 7 64-bit, I connect the MT-32 using a Roland Edirol UM-1EX USB MIDI interface. Most other games work fine in DOSBox when going that route with the MT-32. BUT, even when not using the real thing and using the emulated MT-32 (MUNT) in DOSBox, Prince of Persia still does not detect the MT-32.

Scatty How are you using the DosBox on your old P75? You probably use it on another, much stronger computer, if so, how and where do you connect the MT-32 there? Also what operating system on that stronger computer?

Problem with Prince of Persia with MT-32 in DOSBox

I've got Prince of Persia and it works just great with my old P75 and real MT-32, but when I try to use the MT-32 or an emulated MT-32 with DOSBox, the game switches over to using the PC speaker. The MT-32 (real and emulated) work fine with most other games.

Any ideas?
