Xebec Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hello fellow Atarians! I have a Mega STE and a Roland MT-100 (basically the MT-32 board with additional 'stuff'). My question is - how do I get 'certain' games to output MIDI that don't seem to have an option? For example, Kings Quest IV, Heros Quest I output MIDI correctly (And sound good!), but they had a MUSIC.PRG that let me set the output. Then I tried booting other games like Bomb Jack, Chopper X, and Karate Kid II, and I only get the YM sound output. They don't appear to have any music options (Bomb Jack has on/off as an option..). Is there any trick? Perhaps an accessory I need running? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If game code does not have MIDI support, and there is no additional PRG or like for that purpose you simply will not have MIDI music at all. Music on/off option is usually for for YM. And if there is MIDI it is visible normally in settings, options. Not much of games has MIDI output, maybe couple % , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try a few more and see what's going on. In any case, pretty exciting to have this for the Mega STE.. YM output.. PCM output.. and now MIDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Not all lists are correct. Sometimes you need manual to activate MIDI . Edited December 5, 2015 by ParanoidLittleMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedepede04 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Karate Kid II have midi, i use to play it with my Kawai K1 back in the days, but i don't remember to to make it work, maybe set omni mode to off. sid meier's pirates also have it. one of the best games for the ST.
