Some games which contain MIDI music data also have improved tracks designed for the MT-32 sound module. ScummVM can now emulate this device, however you must provide original MT-32 ROMs to make it work: MT32PCM.ROM - IC21 (512KB) MT32CONTROL.ROM - IC26 (32KB) and IC27 (32KB), interleaved byte-wise.

Just got Heart of China and am trying to get MUNT to work with it. I have the two required MT32.ROMS loaded and ready in MUNT.I changed midiconfig=1 in the HOC.conf file and launch the game, while Munt is loaded. Soullifter: Any ideas? You still need to tell the game itself to use Roland MT-32 as the audio device.

So far you have told only DOSBox to use Munt as a MIDI device, in case a DOS game sends DOSBox any MIDI messages. Currently the game is not sending any (MT-32) MIDI messages as it is playing Adlib/Soundblaster sounds instead.I don't have the GOG version of HoC, but in the original version you must run INSTALL.COM (in DOSBox) in order to select the audio device. Check also the GOG start menu for the game, in case GOG has added a shortcut to run that INSTALL.COM.As to how run INSTALL.COM in DOSBox, you could e.g.

Create a new shortcut similar to what the GOG version uses to run the game, but pointing to INSTALL.COM, instead of HOC.EXE.

Install Munt by double-clicking the downloaded installer.3. Google for 'MT-32 CM-32L ROM' to locate the control and PCM ROMs for MT-32 and/or CM-32L, or use your favorite bittorrent site to get them. The files you want are:MT32CONTROL.ROMMT32PCM.ROMCM32LCONTROL.ROMCM32LPCM.ROMSave them somewhere on your PC where you can find them. While you really need only either MT-32 or CM-32L ROMs (two files at least), I suggest getting all four because some games prefer MT-32 ROMs, while other games prefer CM-32L ROMs.

Heart of China prefers MT-32 ROMs, but CM-32L ROMs work fine too, a couple of sound effects during the game will play wrong with it but otherwise ok.4. Run Munt, go to Options = ROM Configuration, and point the 'ROM Directory' to where you saved your ROMs.

Tick MT32CONTROL.ROM and MT32PCM.ROM (since MT-32 ROMs are what you want to use for Heart of China).Click Ok and close Munt. You need to run Munt only if you want to change the settings, like which ROMs to use. You don't have to run it or have it running in the background if you want some Roland music in games.5. Go to the directory where you installed Heart of China, I presume something like C:GOG GamesHeart of China. Edit the DOSBox config file with Notepad. The file is probably called dosbox.conf, for instance dosboxHoC.conf.Go to the 'midi' section and find the line 'midiconfig', and set it to:midiconfig=1This works for most people, but if you have some other (virtual) MIDI devices installed on your system, for instance BASSMIDI, it might be something else, like midiconfig=2.

If you want to be sure, check which midi device is listed as 'MT-32 Synth Emulator' by using these instructions:Look specifically for the part 'Configuring DOSBox'. It seems with some games the line under midi is 'config', not 'midiconfig', I don't know if this depends on the DOSBox version.6. Change the game itself to use Roland MT-32. With Heart of China, there apparently is a Start Menu shortcut under 'Other' to change the audio settings.Then I think you are done. If the game sounds like in this Youtube-video, you know it is working:Don't be alarmed that starting the game takes several seconds longer with Roland sound support, than it takes with Adlib/Soundblaster support. That is because in the beginning of the game, the game uploads modified sound data to the (virtual) MT-32.

That is quite normal in Roland MT-32 games, a long pause when you start the game, happens also with a real MT-32/CM-32L.
