Hi there,
most old PC-Games work just fine with a roland/midiquest etc. Hardware MPU401 interface that supports "intelligent-mode".
Later machines which have a faster CPU 386+ and EMM-Memory can be patched via softmpu to support those games via
the midi-port of the soundcard or other solutions.
So what about a 286 or even a XT class computer with no hardmpu and no support for softmpu?
There are some patches for e.g. AGI/SCI games that do work on a midi-port of a soundcard on a 286.
But there are hundreds of games that would work performancewise with a hardmpu on these slow systems.
How is the patching be done, is that "complex" and what is the process of doing it?
I am using a SC1630 on a 286/8 and want to check out what games can be used with MT32/CM32L/SC55 on that machine.
