Comment (by TarkinMX):

 Sorry, what I'm trying to achieve is getting Amiga environment sounds in
 the dos version of King's Quest 4. I thought I made had been thorough when
 submitting the ticket.

 The patch adds environmental sounds from the Amiga version because the dos
 version of the game didn't have any. The dos version has superior music
 when using MUNT so this patch combined the two. The patch also restores
 individual day/night palettes that are not present in later games because
 Sierra removed them to get the game to fit on a single floppy disk. The
 earlier versions that of the game that have the original palettes play
 just fine in ScummVM as well.

 In this patch, when starting a new game and Rosella is standing at the
 beach you can hear seagulls and the roar of the ocean when using dosbox.
 This can also be heard in the Amiga version of the game when playing it in
 ScummVM. It works just fine in the version of dosbox provided, which is
 just dosbox with MUNT support, and that's why I had mentioned it. The game
 looks like it's using a custom sound driver with GUS and MT-32 combined
 when I looked at the diagnostic log from dosbox but I'm obviously not an
 expert on these things and not sure how newrisingsun created this patch. I
 had assumed that the sound support for this would be something that
 ScummVM could improve upon since I can hear the music just fine when using
 MT-32 emulation and can kind of hear the environmental sound when
 switching to Amiga sound emulation even though it's garbled. I can't get
 both environmental sound and music to play at the same time.

 I would think it's safe to say that the patch is in similar fashion as to
 the idea of the monkey island 1 and 2 unofficial talkie patches which are
 recognized and play just fine in ScummVM. Also, seeing how unofficial
 games like Space Quest 0, Space Quest X, and King's Quest 2.5 for example
 are recognized in ScummVM then I had assumed they have support in some
 fashion hence my reason for submitting this ticket.
