I've found that I enjoy the games more when they run on Dosbox rather than ScummVM. Is there some way to run the Conquests games on Dosbox?

I would think that copying the Dosbox files from some game that does use it (e.g. Quest for Glory), pasting them into the folders for the Conquests games, and doing a few minor edits should enable me to run the Conquests games on Dosbox. Is this a good idea, or a very bad one?
May I ask why you enjoy dosbox more?

Part of it is that the save slots are more authentic to how the game originally was, and I appreciate that. I also know more about how to emulate the MT-32 sounds with Dosbox than with ScummVM, and I don't get any errors with the background music (as I complained about in another thread).

I understand your points. Some sci games over scummvm lack some details and/or do not run 100 per cent perfect, and If I know the game runs without glitches out of the box, I use to run it over DOSBOX. But not ever is the case and sometimes he game needs to be ran over scummvm to have a vanilla original experience.

Scummvm is being more and more perfect. Slowly IMO. Give it a chance. Some points:

-Authentic GUI Save slots can be used as in old Days just with a toogle option into Scummvm
-MT32 emulation is the same MUNT bundled into scummvm and the choosing is trivial. But there are a lot more of sound options making it very interesting to compare emulations or to choose the best option for each game.
-And the errors are just logs that if I am not wrong do not affect the gameplay at all

how do I enable MT-32 hardware support in scummvm? I have an actual MT-32 and do not want to use an emulator.

Into scummvm options there is a clickable option to choose a real MT32 hardware connected to PC instead of using GM emulation
Yes I figured it out. You must also delete the ini file to the partcular game you are playing.
