Hi. A regular normie here. First thank you for doing all this. Sharing your knowledge and creativity with the world. Long had I searched for a soundfont to properly represent the sc-55. But, being an perfectionist, I was never truly satisfied. Which was also the reason I gave up on crt tvs, …

I'm assuming ZuluIDE wont support things like clonecd images or other disc images with copy protection software? Also can it play redbook audio?

In terms of the original sc55 1.21 roms the only one not accounted for is the Hitachi MCU main rom , its about 32kb in size but you need to inject code into the control rom to dump it and use a logic analyser to read it. https://github.com/nukeykt/Nuked-SC55/issues/41

everquest's music, which was XMI, not midi, was composed for 1meggm.sf2 (the rom samples inside the awe32 card) and the included synthusr.sbk. it was NOT composed for sound canvas at all, so no point trying to play it on this emulator.

all the major components of emusc have been implemented and now it is a matter of fine tuning and polishing to get it sounding right.
