Ogt little big adventure4/10/2023 ![]() ![]() But in order to get the missing 2 seconds from the start of the CD music, you need to edit LBA.DAT with Notepad, and replace all the text in it with this:īehodar: You also need to change MidiBase to 330h. The replacement ogg files are not needed anymore with the latest GOG version as it uses music directly from a CD image (uncompressed). Some instructions in these older discussions:Īlso, just to make sure your GOG LBA sounds as good as possible, be reminded of this earlier discussion about the glitchy GOG LBA1 CD audio files:ĮDIT: Removed the earlier suggestion. In Win7 this involves installing BASSMIDI utility. It would make all your General MIDI music games sound better, not only LBA. It sound passable, but it can also be enhanced considerably by using some third-party General MIDI soundfonts. If you want to use it instead, select the Waveblaster option as your music card, "save parameters" and "quit to DOS".īy this way, you get to use the default "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" that your Windows XP/7 comes with. Possibly also running the GOG-version's setup.exe in DOSBox works, I didn't try it. Before that you could rename your original LBA.CFG to something like LBA_OLD.CFG, just in case you want to use it again later. Download it to your computer into the GOG LBA1 game directory and rename it to LBA.CFG. I've attached the needed CFG file in this message, named LBA.png. I don't know why simply editing the existing CFG didn't work. Now also the GOG version works with General MIDI music. I kinda fixed this, by just copying the LBA.CFG from my retail installation to the GOG LBA game installation directory. I didn't try it yet if I run that from DOSBox. I see though that the SETUP.EXE is there also with the GOG version. If I change the MidiDriver value back to the default A32SP2FM.DLL, the GOG version works again, with the crappier SB FM music. I think there is some error message in the DOSBox windor, but it flashes away too fast to read it. However, if I change that manually to the LBA.CFG of the GOG version, the GOG version doesn't start at all, the DOSBox is aborted. I checked what is the relevant option in LBA.CFG, and it should be this: (There's also a Roland MT-32 music option in the sound setup that you could use with Munt MT-32 emulator, but it sounds quite crappy, apparently just playing General MIDI music through MT-32 which is always a bad idea). "Wave Blaster on Sound Blaster 16 (MIDI)", it gives superior General MIDI music in that intro and ingame music. I tried it with the original LBA (CD-version), and if you change the music sound card configuration to e.g. which is played in LBA1 during the flight/volcano intro video, or in the background during the gameplay. So, by default the GOG version appears to use tinny Soundblaster OPL FM-synthesis sounds for the MIDI music, e.g. I see there was a similar question already a year ago, but it wasn't solved: ![]()
