Re: [hatari-devel] built-in midi emulation in Hatari using mt32emu ?

[Paweł Góralski <pgoralski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For Sierra games it would be sufficient i think.
So if we think in these terms (builtin support of mt32 in st games ) then i agree.. For other like scummvm games it might be different..

Hi, i think that mt32 is nice, but it emulates specific pre GM hardware. So it would be cool to add support to GM too. But this mt32 emu will not provide. At least it would be good start. Some games sound better on mt32, some other on gm.

Hi

I'm not a midi specialist, but on wikipedia it says that GM was published in 1991, so I don't think many games expect to be played with GM devices, as most sierra games for example were released before that date ?

    Hi

    Toni pointed me to https://github.com/munt/munt
    <https://github.com/munt/munt> for which he added support into
    WinUAE using 'mt32emu'

    This will emulate some midi devices (Roland) to get built in sound
    in WinUAE without using an external MIDI emulator, which can be
    handy for Sierra games for examples.

    Is that something that we could consider for Hatari ? This would
    give a default out of the box midi emulation for games that can use
    it, without the need to setup a complete midi chain on the PC/mac.

    Then user could still have the option to route midi events to an
    external file/port as we do today ?

    note : this might be after hatari 2.5 is released, not sure someone
    can work on this before
