Sorry as this is a bit off topic, but my RetroWave OPL3 Express arrived today. The official VGM Player off github works fine, but are there any alternatives out there? As opposed to having to specify the proper COM port through the CMD every time I want to play a track? I'm on Win10. Also, what does the right button (marked with a gear) even do? 🤣. Thanks!

I hope that @crazii gets back on the radar again soon. He's been working on the DOS driver for it. (To anybody reading this: any help with that project is welcome, by the way!)

Also, how do you use this thing in ScummVM? From what I can tell, I have the ini lines setup correctly, but it seems ScummVM just ignores it and uses the default Adlib emulation...

ScummVM should indeed support the RetroWave OPL3 device, as well as the OPL2LPT and OPL3LPT devices. See this piece of documentation for more info. (Haven't tried it myself yet.)

Yeah, I have it setup correctly based on the docs, but ScummVM seems to just ignore it and use adlib emulation regardless. It works perfectly in DOSBOX-X, so I'm rather confused.

Hmmm... Maybe open a GitHub issue for this then?

Thanks for the help, and I finally figured it out. Turns out the official builds on the main site have Retrowave OPL3 support disabled completely. But the alternative daily builds do support it. Works fine in all games I currently have installed. What's really weird is the official build supports OPL2LPT and OPL3LPT devices but not Retrowave. However the daily builds are the opposite (LPT devices are disabled and Retrowave is enabled), strange but that's how it currently is... Oh well, nice to once again play my teenage favorites with the music how I remember it. 😀
