[Scummvm-devel] MT-32 option causing crashes / silent exits in 1.3.0

Hi Max
 
I'll try to provide a fallback solution for that.
 
The emulator not being compiled in shouldn't be an issue, since the
emulator won't show in the launcher and won't ever be detected then. The
issue
should only occur when rom files are missing.
 
Cheers,
Florian
