philscomputerlab: I removed the old links, so here are my updated video tweak guides!

Wing Commander III Tweak Guide

In this video I am tweaking the GOG release of Wing Commander III Heart of the Tiger.

I will cover:

- Configuring the game for General MIDI
- Using VirtualMIDISynth and SoundFonts
- How to toggle subtitles
- How to change the language to German or French (Text only)
- How make the graphics smoother when moving around the ship
- Setting the perfect cycle speed to avoid some bugs
- Boost the sample rate for digital speech and sound effects
- Configure joystick as input device
- Configure joystick hat and rudder with the game

At the end you can watch me play the game a little bit (first mission).
Have you played WC Privateer successfully with a joystick? If yes, please copy the config file for me and let me know what joystick you are using. I am using Windows 10 and I cannot target with my joystick. It's just too sensitive. When I try to move it, it jumps past my target repeatedly. I have tried the sensitivity settings in the inf file; but, it doesn't effect my joystick in any way. I am using a basic Thrustmaster joystick. I have tried others.

Anyway, I see you have some experience with Wing Commander and I just wanted to see if you could help me solve my problem. Thank so much for responding.

MrSmadSmartAlex: Anybody know how to get MT-32 music/sound working on Windows 7 (32-bit)? No matter what I try, it plays the wrong sounds (example: the water dripping into the bucket in the save/load area makes an airhorn-like sound).

edit: Never mind, I finally got it working after messing with settings.
What settings did you "mess with", because I have this game on a Tandy 2500 XL/2 computer with a Roland MT-32 connected, and it just started having the wrong sounds playing in Wing Commander. Just as you said: airhorn-like sound when the water drips in the barracks. It's a completely different environment, in real DOS, and your issue sounds like mine.

EDIT: In case anyone cares, I had to replace the firmware on the Music Quest MPU-401 clone MIDI interface. This involved getting the ROM image online and writing it to a new EEPROM chip to put on the card (via a $50 chip writer off Amazon, done on a Windows PC). Info came from Vogons, I think.

One thing about WC:P that's not in your clip: if game crashes when using jump points it helps to change in dosbox.conf:

ems=false

After that I expirenced a few crashes but not so much as before.

I'm having an issue with WC4. All the cutscenes are in black and white and the gameplay is in color. The black and white selection in the options is not even selected either. I've done no updates, no patches and i'm using windows 10. Would love to see if anyone here has a fix for that.

I'm also having this issue

EDIT:
found the solution. Go into the games folder in the GOG folders and set the wc4dvd.exe to Compatibility mode for Win98/me.
