It's fairly intuitive, although "sound font" does not apply here. Presuming you're playing a MIDI from SB-55 while in game with SC-55. Basically, you're changing the instruments with whatever the MIDI file is using, and then the game isn't adapting. In some cases, it should, but since I don't know …

Diodes are used for more than just AC to DC rectification. Looking at your PCB photos it appears this diode is being used as reverse voltage protection. This diode looks like it was meant to fail shorted in the event a power supply with the wrong polarity is connected. After looking at the …
