[Scummvm-devel] AdLib

[Chris Gahan]

Well, you could theoretically map MIDI instruments to their inferior adlib counterparts, and setup some kind of emulation, couldn't you?

I do remember Sam & Max working with lower-quality music on my brother's computer with his crappy sound card, and it sounding much nicer on mine with the SB-16.

I guess the S&M engine supported this. It would've been nice if the designers had dumped the Adlib-emulated midi to individual adlib files though, for future emulation software authors, instead of just converting it on the fly with the engine. How thoughtless of them. SHAME LUCASARTS! SHAME!
