Where do you find one of these for 100 euros? I bought mine for 200+ and I thought I got a good deal. Regularly sell on eBay for 350-600 Probably only with a lot of luck. Which means I’m probably never gonna buy one because imho it’s not worth the outrageous amount of money that is asked/paid for …

I got a Sound Canvas in 1993 (first an SC-33, a year later an SC-55 "because of the MT-32 support".. Little did I know back then hahaha) so for me that has the most nostalgia with this game.

I used to have both the scc-1 and scc-1a boxed but sold them about 10 years ago. To be honest I would never pay prices over approx. 100 euros for one. There is one for sale on the Dutch “marktplaats” and it’s just a bare card and price is already up to 375 euros. Rediculous in my opinion.

Remembered I had a thermal imager laying around and measured temps of the MP32L and Raspberry Pi (backside) after 30 mins. idle. 😀 Temps are in degrees celcius.

Thank you for testing and providing your results. Perhaps you can also check Dune 2 in MT32 mode when the time comes? I can confirm Dune II works pefectly in both General Midi/Sound Canvas mode as wel as MT-32 mode, without the need of using SoftMPU. I used the altenative setup files to combine …
