When launching games DOSBox seems to always ignore the relevant .conf files.
I have been trying to get various GOG DOS games to use a specific MIDI device. At first I thought perhaps it was an issue with my hardware configuration; however, after testing a changing a whole slew of other settings in the relevant conf files in testing, it appears as if the .conf files are ignored entirely.
For example, with Dark Forces in DOSBox I have modified the dosbox_DF.conf in the game directory and settings changed in it do not take effect. I have also tried editing the generic %AppData%/Local/DOSBox/dosbox-0.74.conf file and changes in that don't seem to do anything either.
The ultimate goal is to get the games to use my Roland JV-1010 for MIDI playback; however, they don't seem to want to abide by the changes made under the [midi] tag. I have attempted disabling MIDI playback entirely for troubleshooting and that seems to be ignored. I have setting my midiconfig to the relevant hardware id(Found by mixer /listmidi) but that doesn't do anything
Anyone else have this issue?
