#8542 closed patch

Simon 1 DOS Adlib instrument bank (WIP/broken)

Description

This patch doesn't work, but I'm submitting it in the hope that someone will be able to see why.

The DOS version of Simon the Sorcerer 1 has a file named MT_FM.IBK which, from what I understand, is an instrument bank file containing Adlib versions of the MT-32 instrument set. The format is documented at http://courses.ece.uiuc.edu/ece390/resources/sound/cmf.txt.html

If so, it should be possible to use these custom instruments, instead of going through the MT-32 to General MIDI to stock Adlib instruments conversions. That's what this patch attempts to do. However, the music is almost inaudible, and sounds wrong.

Since Travis knows a lot about Simon, too, maybe he can help?

I added updated version of patch to ScummVM GiT, disabled by default. So the code will be kept current at least, and in case anyone wants to look at into issues in future.
