"Piracy" as a term to mean copyright infringement dates back to the 1600s, so it's not a new term. It's been around for as long as Copyright itself has been around, pretty much. Anyhow, the easiest way is to use use a DOSBox with MT-32 emulation built in. Mac users are set here since Boxer...

Yeah, Opus is basically another lossy encoder. It replaces Speex (used to be used for speech) and Vorbis (for audio) formats with a single codec good at both. It's a standardized codec for internet audio as it has extremely low latency (making it good for real time communications) and high...

It's a well known fact that movie trailers often feature the soundtrack of another movie. Perhaps the most recognizable one was the original 1987 Robocop trailer, which featured the Terminator score. Sometimes lesser movies were also used - I remember having the TV on in the background and...

Well, if the D-110 has the same instrument patches as the MT-32, then it would sound pretty much the same. "Pretty much" because the MT-32 has a few limitations intentionally put in there by Roland to compromise the audio output. But if the patch banks are the same, you'll probably be treated to...

Probably something more like "With games like this, I stopped overspending" or probably more familiarly, "Stop paying so much for games like this" showing you can get them for 99 Francs. "Collect the greatest hits for PC and PC CD-ROM. List of games and points of sale ..." "(Microcomputer)...

I had the same question. I figured the Green meant supported, and Brown was unsupported, but X? Maybe X means supported directly, green means it works (but using something else, like SB emulation) and brown means not supported. It seems to work better that way because the timeline of the Pro...

Links are broken. Easy to fix on the user end, but still an annoyance.

Custom soundfont with a fuller featured synth (bassmidi or better). Not only does the wavetable Microsoft has sound crappy (it's supposed to be a Roland based wavetable, but it doesn't sound like it - even the Sound Canvas SC-55 with a smaller wavetable sounds better!), but the synthesizer they...

I just wish I had more money... there's so much to want. I have Volume 1 already, so that's no big deal, but the scores to Volume 1 and Volume 2 I want... hell I bet if I can ask for the MIDIs it might be nice to pipe them through my SC-88Pro or even my Yamaha MU2000Ex - one of two Yamaha units...

Yeah, lots of stuff is on sale - all of my wishlisted items were too.

Dang it. I already had a hard enough time giving up the volume 2 score ($200 pledge) and now I need to decide on Volume 1 too?! Why oh why can I not afford the nice things ...

Arrrgghhhhh... now I want it... and cannot afford it. Must... not... increase... pledge....

Alas, my budget in June is tight, so it looks like no PDF score for me :(. But at least I contributed what I can. (Yes, I'm a sucker for CDs, even though from the last time the digital downloads were FLAC and I believe were better than CD quality)

Such a hard decision... $100 I want, but I kinda wanna want the score as well... but can I justify spending another $100...

I'd find it odd that only one was created and lost on the way the production. Because while they may make only one cartridge to be sent off to production, and that cartridge can get lost, that doesn't mean the game is lost. The master cartridge can be recreated - the original binaries burned...

Was interested, then saw the ridiculous international shipping charges. $35 for the book and $30 for shipping? (With posters, it's $45). And US shipping is free, which means international shipping should've been discounted by whatever US shipping would've been (if it was $10, surely it could be...

From the table - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MT-32-compatible_computer_games#Table_of_compatible_games The Ultima series used the CM-32 extra sounds, while Wing Commander itself was designed for the "old" MT-32 (the headphone jack-less version). I think the MT-32 would play the mass...

I just got a hold of an MT-32 earlier this week (a real MT-32). Hooked it up to DOSBox via a Roland UM-ONE mk2 USB-MIDI adapter (cheap, but apparently one of the best adapters). And then downloaded WC1 off of GoG to try that out (after configuring it to use the MT-32). I was surprised to learn...

I hope B&N gets it... it's still not listed.

No flu here, thankfully. Just a cold. But damn the coughing fits.
