Ultima 6 MT32 Music?

Post by Vardion »

I Just tested Ultima 6 (False Prophet) with ScummVM 2.7.0 Win64 and it seems the music will always be AdLib. I've set Audio to "MT32 Emulator" in game options and the MT32 Emulation works fine in SQ3, but I can't get Ultima 6 to use MT32. Is there any secret I'm missing?

MT32 support varies engine by engine. In the case of Ultima 6 (Nuvie sub-engine), I don't think support for MT32 was ever added.

Thanks. When directly searching for "nuvie mt32" I just found another thread confirming the issue (which I unfortunately didn't find befeore). It seems that Nuvie indeed doesn't support MT32 and one has to run the DOS version of Ultima 6 is Dosbox to get MT32 music.

ScummVM 2.8.0 added MT32 support to Ultima 6 and it sounds great. Thanks!
