Thank you :). Until now i haven't done any recordings. The truth is that I haven't looked what equipment needs and i don't know what to do because my free time is so little. Maybe a program like audacity? I have recorded only amateur videos with my mobile. Below is a link on my youtube channel …

May you please tell me what is it with the rom versions? Are they important for gaming for solving bugs? I checked my Roland MT32 (it is the old unit) and it has the version 1.07. thank you in advance.

Today i got a Yamaha mu50. According to your experience, which sound module is better to be enabled? Now the XG is on.

LGR has some cool videos on YouTube. I love the 486 midi tower building video.

The Yamaha mu50 and the mu80 have differences regarding the AD input signal. What exactly is that?

The Yamaha mu500, mu1000 and mu2000 are really beautiful. Especially mu1000 and mu2000 with all these buttons.

Let's get to the point. Are there differences in quality and sound depending on capabilities of each Yamaha device? I am talking only for gaming. I do not also have a problem if the device is simple with only power button and volume knob (without lcd screen and other buttons).

What about Yamaha mu10? It seems simple as a design.

I agreed with imi. Roland devices are the authentic and the others add the fun. It is really nice to have options for the sound. Since i was a kid i liked technically more the sound than the graphics. I remember where I was looking a game for my Amstrad CPC 464 where i could hear speech, not just …

All these retro stuff are so attractive! Here is a video from me of Freddy Pharkas with the Roland MT32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8tf705qAnI

I love this combination and I wanted it also a dos compatibility card but due to sonnet NuBus i stopped looking and bought a pc. 😀

Robertmo, I am checking the civnet now and it seems good. Maybe i have it somewhere for PC. It looks like Mac version.

dr.zeissler your information regarding the cache and the speed doubler is very interesting. I confess that i haven't looked about it probably because i found a sonnet card in a short time back to 2009. I would like to try it sometime. I can disable the sonnet extension from the Macintosh in order to …

As mentioned in the first page by dr zeissler, the first powerpc Macs are slow. I believe that in order to play the majority of 90s games well, you need probably at least 3 computers. I have a Macintosh Performa 6116CD (aka Powermac 6100) with ppc at 60mhz. Due to 68k emulation some programs and …

I agree about Mac quicktime midi sound. The quality is very nice. Some examples are Doom 2, Heretic, Rags to Riches. Personally i have changed the quicktime's music settings in order to use the Roland Sound Canvas SC88 and the mentioned games run with success using the canvas for music.

Yes, Dark Forces Mac version is great. Have you seen also Flashback and Blackthorne? Great graphics for Macs. I started playing Flashback on my dos and Mac where my computers are the one next to the other but i abandoned the dos version (i finished only the first level) because the graphics were so …
