Hi,

in case you are interested: it is possible to use MIDI sound for Pirates Gold and enjoy the game music from the Pirates Gold Jukebox if you follow these instructions on Windows 10 (I did not test the ISO mount with other versions of Windows):

1. After the installation of Pirates Gold go to the installation directory and rename DATA.DAT to DATA.ISO
2. Double click on DATA.ISO so that it will be mounted as a virtual drive (e.g. D:)
3. Go to that drive and copy the contents (with subdirectories) of the directory D:\PIRATESG.CD to PIRATESG.CD in the game installation directory
4. Go to archive.org/details/PGGMID_ZIP (unfortunately I am not allowed to create a link), get the ZIP-File there and extract the contents to PIRATESG.CD in the game installation directory, too
5. Unmount the virtual drive (right click on drive symbol) and rename DATA.ISO to DATA.DAT (or delete it)
6. In the game directory, open dosboxPGOLD_single.conf and change it to

[ipx]
# ipx -- Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation.
ipx=false

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
cls
mount C ".."
mount C "..\cloud_saves" -t overlay
c:
cd piratesg.cd
cls

7. Run the game. In the DOS menu choose 5 for setup, confirm General MIDI with <enter>. After that the original setup program starts. Choose "Reconfigure Hardware Options", select Roland MT-32 for music, SoundBlaster Pro (later) with Address 220, IRQ 7 and DRQ 3 and exit to DOS.

8. Run the game again. If you want to use the jukebox, go to 6 in the DOS menu. Otherwise just start the game in your favourite language.

I did not check if this method works with cloud saves. There might be issues as the ISO image is no longer mounted. But the patched files are stored in the cloud_saves directory, so maybe you are lucky...
