If you're using the packaged version, it's set up to use the integrated dosbox-staging MT-32 emulation rather than external MUNT - put your ROMs in the 'roms' directory, switch to MT-32 in the launcher and it should work!
If you're using WCAT in a custom DOSbox setup there shouldn't be any difference between stock WC and WCAT for MT-32...
The DOS zip also has a DOSBox-X config, but again that's set up for the integrated MT-32 emulation.
Definitely not a timing bug, although it may be a mission bug... I just confirmed that the transport does just head off towards its starting position in the original game too (GOG release). It played out the same way in WCAT. If you land once the transport starts flying back then that completes the mission successfully. I believe it's supposed to enter formation with the Tiger's Claw, but that isn't happening.
The ace wing however did spawn correctly in both sessions, so I'm honestly not sure what that could have been, unless you manually flew around the area where they spawn on the way to the Tiger's Claw? Not sure!
I'll have a look at the mission data and see if I can stop the transport properly at the Tiger's Claw. I'll have to test it in the process, so I'll see if I encounter the issue where the ace wing doesn't spawn.
It's doable... But in this case "losslessly as possible" would mean recompressing the audio to 4-bit DPCM @ 22KHz... And the ramps they picked for the DPCM are kind of dubious even then. So I'd keep your expectations quite low...
If that doesn't discourage you, I can send you a build of the tool for GK - maybe drop me an email (my username at alltinker.com). It's obviously very specific; I'm chipping away at a better/more general tool for a potential public release later on; also to help with my work on further improvements to the realtime repairs in ScummVM.
Well I don't think you should have to either, but some folks out there vehemently disagree - one even decided it was worth their time to send me an outright legal threat... So this is the minimum level of inconvenience I'm afraid!
Nice, glad you figured it out! Hopefully it wasn't a bad master and it's just a one-off, but I guess we'll see if this crops up again for anyone else...
Hmmn, I tracked down a copy with the Sierra Originals label; it's working fine here! For ref I did a "full" install (in DOSBox), copied over RESOURCE.AUD into the install directory, and ran Delta Patcher on it.
My Sierra Originals RESOURCE.AUD file seems to be the same as every other copy I've found; MD5 checksum is 0e2229c87873ca1d861cc67f1813b668, dated 1993-12-04 13:15.
I'd be very curious to hear if your copy has a different checksum/date!
