This is somewhat unusual question but -- was MT-32 used on non-MS-DOS computers? I know that it could be used, there were MIDI interfaces for Mac and Amiga, although those were not common. OTOH, Atari ST had MIDI interface on all computers with "m" in model number, probably close to 50% of all units. So, were there any Atari ST games supporting MT-32? IIRC, there were popular MIDI interfaces for MSX -- any MSX games supporting MT-32?

Some Sierra games supported the MT-32 on the Atari ST and Amiga. Also several games on the Sharp X68000 have MT-32 and/or SC-55 support.

Add the MSX and PC-98 to the list.

Standard MIDI support on the Amiga was almost non-existant at the time of the A500, though Sierra games were probably the exception.

The Macintosh version of Thexder has MT-32 support. Unfortunately I don't know of any Mac-emulator that has MIDI-support.
(The PC version only has support for PC beeper and PCjr/Tandy sound.)

By the way, I successfully played some Amiga versions of Sierra games in WinUAE with my real MT-32.
