BTW, about the comparisons of various MUxx synths - MU500 is a very good alternative to 1000 or 2000, but keep in mind that the maximum voice polyphony count is halved from 128 to 64 (though that's not gonna be a concern with most game soundtracks I believe)

Hello @Meowdori, do you happen to know where the MIDI files from this two games are available for download? (The examples you posted are very nice, I would like to hear these soundtracks on my MU15 and other synths) Mirsoft and a quick Google search gave no results unfortunately. Thanks in advance. …

Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Windows, GM) - MU1000 Some tracks, like the bonus level sound very good imo, others range from bad to quite fine, with AIZ performing especially poorly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjf6tBjxNC0 Night Slave (PC-98 DOS, GS) - S-YXG50 SoftSynthesizer Overall fantastic, with …

Yamaha XG-compliant units are amazing and capable if you're writing music or listening to XG-specific tracks. Regarding the usage in games though, it's a mixed bag, because there's only a handful of them that explicitly enable the XG mode and use the full palette of its instrument banks and insert …

Very specific platform, but there's also Farlight CMI IIx, which doesn't have a fully working emulation, though it's a WIP MAME core

Recently I grew very attached to the sound of Yamaha's XG-compatible modules (the whole MUxx line). Unfortunately I don't own any physical synths right now, but S-YXG50 fills the gap very successfully.

You're welcome! As for the floppy version, I wasn't able to locate any such copy. This hard drive image is all there seems to be out in the wild, but maybe a deeper search would reveal something.

Hi You should be able to find most of PC-98xx games and software in the existence in Neo Kobe archive https://archive.org/details/NeoKobe-NecPc-98012017-11-17 I can't find it myself, because they're grouped by developer/publisher, which you didn't specify. It's strange though that the sound doesn't …

The initial poster didn't specify if we should count modern OPLx/OPNA/etc-compatible music as well, so for now i'll assume that's a yes. This person's entire channel is full of various nice OPL2/OPL3 compositions: https://www.youtube.com/user/Dark0Lord7/featured?app=desktop Also rather impressive …

Yeah, that's pretty much an edge case, probably not really worth of trying to fix :). The only easy quick and dirty patch i can think of would be to artificially limit the frequency the user can flip between these 2 states with (i.e. making it inactive for ~3 seconds after clicking, and changing the …

Hi Sorry for having kept you hanging, i wasn't online at the time you noticed it, can't believe i overlooked the non-commercial part. It's all corrected now, including the publication date set to reflect the v3.0. And yeah, i totally agree bundling adware (or rather straight up malware, because more …

I uploaded the entire archive, it's live now at https://archive.org/details/falcosoft-midi-player I packed all of them into yet another archive to contain them all, in hindsight i'm not sure if it's better this way or to upload the all files individually (might change it with the next update, …

Thank you!

@Zoltan Thanks for very swift reply! 1. As for the archiving, i'm glad you kept all these old releases - If you wish to make them available for me (and others) to dowload i think you could put them onto, say, Google Drive (or different cloud drive if you use something else), either as a folder or a …

Hello Zoltan I've been using your program for well over a year already, mostly for general playback of XG and GS MIDI music outside of games, and it quickly earned my approval. At this point, after all the improvements and feature implementations it's gone through over time i don't think there's …
