My MT-32 works perfectly in games etc, but i tried test mode and:

RAM Test OK
LED Test (push buttons) Worked fine
SW Test OK

Check VR PUSH 2 ----- I Push 2 (Part) and then: MIDI RECEIVE ERROR

I think you need a midi cable looping the MIDI OUT and IN ports on the MT-32 to test this , I believe it is mentioned in the manual

Yes you are right. Just tried that now.

Silly me I missed that part in Mau1wurf1977's excellent tutorial video. Just checked the video again.
