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

[Paweł Góralski <pgoralski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

Toni pointed me to 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
