MT-32 Emulation Comes to DOSBox
wcnut has some interesting news for Wing Commander audiophiles. There's been recent progress on the emulator that seeks to simulate the sound quality of the Roland MT-32, which Wing Commander 1 was specifically designed to take advantage of. Gamers with the original hardware still have the best original WC music possible, but this new enhancement opens the door for quite a few fans to experience this amazing music while playing. Taewoong has built a custom DOSBox build that incorporates the MUNT emulation patch, and wcnut has recorded a video of the first mission to give everyone a sample.

Some of you may have been aware of Munt for a long time and thought it has gone stagnant. Not anymore! Turns out it has been being worked on behind the scenes. Thanks to the contributions of a new member, it has made hHuge strides in the past month to the point where it will soon be almost a perfect emulation if it isn't already now. They claim a new stable build is soon.What this means for WC? A far better alternative to the standard Soundblaster Emulation in dosbox.
I uploaded a sample play-through of the first mission up on Youtube. Those with real devices should compare it.
