Because I, not you, happen to actually be programming an emulator. I don't care if you don't like it; I have a simple suggestion for you then, "WRITE YOUR OWN!"
I was referring to your project when I said I was impressed, and canadacow's when I said I was unimpressed.
Did I wrong you in a past life Spikey? I would like to remind you that it was also me who correctly extracted the PCM samples from the ROM file. Before you go and call the progress I have made towards an MT-32 emulator insignificant, I challenge you to do one of two things:
1. Write your own MT-32 emulator to the point where I am at.
2. Surpass me in my progress on my emulator.
and do either in the span of just two weeks.
Remember, I'm not being paid to do this and you won't be a paying customer once its finished. If you have a problem with it, either offer a realistic solution or shut up.
It's hideous, and gives General MIDI a bad name.
No, General MIDI gives itself a bad name. Its partially why MP3's so quickly replaced MIDI as a method for sharing music for distribution.
