Is this possible in the GOG version of these games? I dug out my MT-32 on the weekend to give it a go. I messed around with changing the MIDI device in dosboxSQ3.conf, and also with the sound driver setting in DEFAULT.CFG (adding MT32.DRV). I couldn't get any response out of the hardware.
I then tried another version of the game in a vanilla DOSbox install, and the hardware worked perfectly.
The problem with the GOG version is that I can't open the DOS command line and use mixer /listmidi to get the MIDI device number. It's generally 1, but there's no way to confirm if the GOG version is seeing it. And the DOSbox configurator is pretty light on options :/
Any ideas?
[edit] I see from posts like this (I can't post links yet):
gog.com/forum/wing_commander_series/wciii_on_sc55_or_mt32_have_both_connected_via_umone_in_gogs_dosbox_version _no_go
... that there are workarounds using vanilla DOSbox with the GOG game files. But it's a bit hacky and kind of defeats the purpose of buying GOG versions.
