Yes, it can give you that "90% accurate" return to nostalgia as you
hear / remember sounds that are familiar and relatable... and that can

I'd say that Roland MT-32 Munt emulation is at about 90% accurate at
this point. I may switch to emulation if my real MT-32 ever fails
which it likely will considering its age.

I know Munt isn't 100% accurate as I can hear (don't hear?) dropped
notes and wrong sounding instruments occasionally when Munt is used.

I think that has a lot to do with the expected ROMS being used in
MUNT. Apparently some games are extremely sensitive to the version of
the ROM. I've been unable to test, only having my old, dead MT-32 as a
source and comparison. (I really should get that fixed but I'd get so
little use out of it -I can only hook it up to my older retro-PCs-
that I've never bothered).

Anyway, my primary use would be Sierra games (which had excellent
MT-32 support) and DOSBox/Munt works very well with those.
