Illumination Laser VGMs are available on vgmrips forums under submissions. (Login required to view) they just aren't an official pack yet. While you're there, also grab Deadly Edge (my very first pack) for some great tunes as well. Though Deadly Edge makes heavy useage of custom ADPCM samples, so …

For LA synth games use Position B (CM-64 simulation) mode. For GM or GS use Position C (CM-300) mode.

I have lots of Japanese machines, but none of them are DOS PCs. For English forums, there is NFG games, and Tokugawa Corporate forums. Both are quite slow, but we exist. However Japanese DOS users are hard to find. All the good stuff is on Sharp/FM/MSX/NEC. I see no point to messing with real PC …

You all had to mention a module I didn't have... Now I have one on the way. What I have been interested in for quite a while is a non-existent analog synth that is GM compatible. How cool would that be? Akai did make an analog rompler based on sounds from different analog synths, but it isn't GM …

For Doom 1, Akai SG01k is my personal favorite, it's loud, over-blown, in-your-face samples just fit the mood best for me. I take note, the thread is about the best option using only software but didnt know about this midi module, i were searching videos in youtube and it has a very nice clean …

I stick to MSX for VGMPlay usage. Incredibly versatile support for original chips. But very expensive to build a full setup. For modern PC usage, the Japanese have made both G.I.M.I.C. and Re:Birth. Re:Birth supports more exotic chip setups, while G.I.M.I.C. has built in PCM for simplicity. Again …

Yes, that's the real Chex Quest "3" the final version of the game. It comes as a stand alone game, but you can just throw the wad into your preferred release of GZDoom as well. There was also a totally different Episode 3 made years ago, but it was an unofficial fan game, and very poor quality from …

Chex Quest was always freeware. Episode 1 came in cereal boxes. Episode 2 was a free download from the ChexQuest website. The cool dude who made them both then did Episode 3 about 15 years later and released all 3 episodes in one big mega wad as Chex Quest 3.

If you want some real world ideas, just take a look at the Japanese side of things. For example: PC-88 had OPN, PC-98 had OPNA, X68000 had OPM, FM Towns had OPN2. All of which really used their chips well. As for PCs, it's a real shame the OPL4 was thrown aside as a budget chip. Being 100% OPL3 …

In theory it could work, but even if it does, I think you will be much happier with a real 32P or 64. The 32P is hardlocked to use channels 10-16 (the PCM slot = channel 10 iirc). But U110 can use channels 1-16, and will have to be manually arranged to match. Also the 32P has more internal …

Those videos are mine. :) All emulators support MIDI afaik. They typically just output to Windows default MIDI device. A USB-MIDI cable, or even a soft synth like MUNT is fine. Though some games support some fancier modules like CM64. You do have to configure the emulated x68000 to have a MIDI …
