 Requesting support for Ultimate Kings Quest 4 with Amiga sounds and Munt
 which can be found at the bottom of Collector's first post at
 http://www.sierrahelp.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3925. Using this
 installer patches the game to version 1.1 and adds the additional sounds
 from the Amiga version of the game. The installer sets up DOSBox for the
 user and plays fine. I'm running ScummVM on Windows 10 Pro 6.2.9200.0
 64-Bit, everything is in english, and when adding the game to ScummVM
 2.1.2 (Mar 31 2020 00:38:13), the log states:

 When adding the game to a nightly I recently downloaded, version
 2.2.0git4593-gf531eba971 (Apr 20 2020 05:59:17), the log is similar.

 ScummVM gives a list of games to add as can be seen in the log. The only
 one on the list that comes closest is "King's Quest IV: The Perils of
 Rosella (SCI/Amiga/English)." The result is the same when playing the game
 in either versions of ScummVM. With the preconfigured settings, I can hear
 the music in the intro but once it gets to the two men holding trumpets
 the sound stops and it appears that there's no sound in the rest of the
 game when walking around. At this point, the log states:

 [2020-04-21 21:56:16] WARNING: Bad command or running status 00!
 [2020-04-21 21:56:53] WARNING: MIDI parser: the requested SCI0 sound has
 no MIDI note data for the currently selected sound driver!

 I tried adjusting the game settings and seem to have no luck as well.
 Changing the platform from Amiga to DOS seems to have no effect. Changing
 my audio settings from MT-32 to Amiga Audio Emulator causes the music in
 the intro to no longer be heard and then at the screen with the minstrel
 again I will eventually hear a seagull and then a weird growling noise. At
 this point, the log states:

 [2020-04-21 22:17:24] WARNING: MIDI parser: the requested SCI0 sound has
 no MIDI note data for the currently selected sound driver!
 [2020-04-21 22:17:32] WARNING: MIDI parser: the requested SCI0 sound has

 [2020-04-21 22:17:47] WARNING: MIDI parser: the requested SCI0 sound has

 channel 10!
 [2020-04-21 22:17:50] WARNING: Amiga/Mac driver: invalid instrument -1 on
 channel 11!

 Another thing I noticed is that under the Engine section when editing the
 game is that "Skip EGA dithering pass(full color backgrounds) is missing.
 As for the sound issue,I believe the problem may lie in how this patch
 provides the audio. The diagnostic log for the game states the following
 for the game configuration:

 videoDrv = MCGA320.DRV
 soundDrv = MTSBGUS.DRV
 kbdDrv   = IBMKBD.DRV
 mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV

 I have also attached a game save of Rosella standing in front of the
 minstrel that I spoke of.
