Picked up a Roland SC-88 w/ Japanese manual earlier for 4100 yen at a store down the street.
Didn't even need to buy a USB-MIDI adapter for it as it turns out my Roland A-500S usb midi keyboard can be switched to act as an interface.

One thing it was missing was the original disc for it, which apparently contained sample midis (and more?). Anyone have a copy?

4100 yen... what a steal! 😀

Don't have the disc either, but you can at least find the MIDIs here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/687288/SC88FactoryMIDIs.zip

@keropi: Well it's a Terratec card and usually their drivers aren't the most robust overall 😀

People can't see your embedded images if they don't have a VCF account and/or aren't logged in, BTW.

I'm flush with Christmas cash right now, so maybe it will be my turn to buy an SCC-1, soon. I have to get one before the prices hit $500. 🤣

One went recently for $10 - clearly the seller didn't know what this was...

Just picked this up (jewel cases w/ manuals):
Discworld I
Discworld II
Heretic
Beneath A Steel Sky
Leisure Suit Larry collection
Windows 98 (Slovenian) w/ manual

Won this on eBay - still hasn't arrived:
Sound Blaster 16 CT2290
Tseng Labs ET4000AX
Promise Ultra 100 TX2 PCI

I'm a madman 😀

Nope!! 🤣

I got a Yamaha FB-01 yesterday. It would've added another 47mm to my tower, but unfortunately it doesn't fit anywhere in between.

The same place I got my sc-88 from has a Yamaha MU80 for 5580 yen. Any real point in owning one for retrogaming? I hear FF7 has XG sound, but is that it?
Keeping an eye out for an MT32/CM64L etc, but I think they are too old for the place (a music instrument store) and maybe munt is good enough anyways.

Speaking of which, has no one ever attempted dumping & emulating a Sound Canvas? Seems like it would be up MESS' alley.

Both FF7 and FF8 used an format that had XG.
FF7 has 4 MIDI types:
GM
AWE
YGM
XG

These are double density 720k?

Got that Yamaha SW60XG today, in box with driver/demo CD 😀

Rolled the dice on this MPU-IPC. First time I have seen one and I was able to get it for $50. The seller accepted my offer to change it from an auction to a BIN. I will test it in January. 😎

And then pair it with an MT-32 and try to flip it for $250 in February?
