Sierra General Midi patch demonstration (before and after comparisions)

Sierra games released before 1992 did not support General Midi based sound cards, but supported the Roland MT-32. This means today that unless you have soundfonts that emulate that particular device (like MUNT for example) you will end up with distorted music and even missing instruments. Sierra released a patch back in 1993 to add general midi support to some of their games. (Look further down the description for timecodes) This video shows footage from Leisure Suit Larry 1 VGA and Leisure Suit Larry 5 which both came out in 1991. Soundfont used is the Timbres Of Heaven one I have been using quite a bit lately. The patch adds general midi support to the following games: "EcoQuest 1 Hoyle 3 Leisure Suit Larry 1 (Enhanced Version) Leisure Suit Larry 5 Robin Hood: Conquest of the Longbow Space Quest 1 (Enhanced Version) Space Quest 4 Mixed Up Fairy Tales" (Enhanced Version means the VGA remakes) Link to patch download site: http://sierrahelp.com/Utilities/Sound...
