Greetings,

Is there a list out there, somewhere, which lists games with native Roland SCC-1 support? I know I can select General Midi, though some games let you select t he SCC-1, specifically. I came across a utility which allows Sierra games to use ports other than 330. Some of you may recall past posts about my SCC-1 not outputting midi on the midi out, meaning I can't connect my MT-32 to it. I am considering putting the SCC-1 in my 486 alongside the MPU-IPC-T since otherwise it is currently being unused. Are there other games which require midi port 330, and are there ways around that?

Thanks!

If the SCC-1 is generating audio and only the MIDI out port isn't working, that should be highly repairable. There are only a few basic components involved in the MIDI output circuit: an invertor, a couple resistors and inductors, and the mini DIN port.

I truly wish that I had the skills to repair this beautiful and amazing card!

If you're local, I'd offer to fix it for you. I'm currently working on my own SCC-1 repair so I've become somewhat familiar with the schematics of this card.

In the case of your card, I'd suspect a faulty port as the likely point of failure.

Getting this card fixed would be amazing. I'd be willing to pay or barter to have my SCC-1 working properly. You would have my gratitude, forever. I live in Western NY state.

I'm in Canada, North of where you are. We're in the same time zone at least. 😁

If you do want me to take a look at it, send me a PM and maybe we can figure something out.
