Hey folks,

I just wanted to start by saying; I love DOSBox, and the improvements made over the 00's are awesome. Thankyou very much to the team.

Now, I've been trying to record MIDI in DOSBox for years. I can do it, and get the results. However, it seems the recorded MIDI files have occasional erroneous notes, or stuck notes (e.g. a correct note that plays for 5 bars instead of a quarter bar). The only link I can seem to think of is that MAYBE it's occuring when DOSBox has been open for a period of time (over an hour), and my PC's memory is being taxed?

I run a Windows XP machine with 4GB of RAM, Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz. So I'm sure I could get it working better than this.

Any tips for changing my .CONF file to stop using PC resources as much, or general tips recording MIDI?

Regards,
- Spike

Try: CTRL-ALT-F8 Start/Stop the recording of raw MIDI commands.

I already said in my OP: "Now, I've been trying to record MIDI in DOSBox for years. I can do it, and get the results."

So, knowing the controls to start/stop is not the problem I'm having, but thanks for posting anyway.

Bump; noone has any clues on why DOSBox MIDI record would yield mostly correct, but slightly glitchy (stuck note/wrong note) MIDI files?
