Thats easy, you can set Hercules graphics in the setup.
And dosbox has herculess graphic card in the setup file.
F11    (machine=hercules) cycle through amber, green, white colouring

MT32 sound seems to be more difficult to get..
Forum topic: MT15.DRV reverse engineering project (https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=3767.0)
has info on adding MT sound support to dosbox.

The Sound page at the Wiki (https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Sound#MT-32_setup_for_DOSBox) includes a summary of how to use MT-32 with DOSBox.

(Note the steps there are for plain DOSBox. DOSBox Staging has built-in support (https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/wiki/MIDI#mt32emu), and so if you are using that running munt separately is not needed.)

For Hercules, do you still need to load a driver such as MSHERC.COM after you've properly set up DOSBox or does DOSBox include the API to enter Hercules mode?

There's no need to load an additional driver, it works straight away.

Anyway it looks weird, maybe because the resized window.

Pixels were far from square in Hercules mode

I installed a copy of stunts with a working Roland MT-32 emulation thanks to Dosbox Staging but mainly thanks to @Erik Barros . :D

Excellent! BTW, the MT-32 integration in DOSBox Staging also ensures recorded videos have MIDI audio. I guess an update to that Wiki article is in order  :)

@alanrotoi I'm happy to help, I need to thank @Duplode, the Wiki document helped me a lot to understand midi emulation and gave me a clue on dosbox staging.
