Yeah, I suspected as much. It's a bit like BASS - I can't use the Roland sound canvas without losing the speech. It has to have the Sound Blaster option in order to get speech, music and SFX. I think before, when I used my onboard sound, I had the MT32 option enabled, and that was as close as I could get.

Oh awesome. Thank you for pointing me to this. 😁 I wonder if something can be done with Simon, too.

Simon already has MT32 + Speech. It's soundtrack probably won't sound too good in a general MIDI module, but if you have a SC-55 you can use the MT-32 mode on the SC-55 at least. Not sure if Simon uses any custom patches

EDIT: Apparently it will sound best on a Roland CM-32L, so that's what one will need to use. General MIDI would require the game to have the soundtrack midi files redone.

Oh no, I tried toggling the MT32 on the SC-55 as well, but I don't think it worked. The problem is I'm not sure if it gives you the option of selecting the 330 port when choosing the MT32 option.

port 330 is standard in the game, as far as i know.

I'll have to try re-installing it again and see.
