Atomic Robo-Kid

[endre1952]

I've managed to run Atomic Robo-Kid on my PC using an X68000 emulator. It has MT-32 support, you just have to hold down F1 during bootup. I first played the game on C64 some 17 years ago.

BTW, I just got bought a second generation MT-32 for only 999 YEN (plus shipping).

Cool - which emulator did you use?

[endre1952]

XM6 version 2.00.

I've got the arcade music for this game. Not bad stuff

I've just got a CD full of X68000 games 

AFAIK, there are quite a good bunch of X68k games which have MT-32 support. I've tried some of them that, in theory (according to the Wikipedia's MT-32 game support list) are MT-32 compatible. The problem is that, in most of them, I just cannot manage how to "activate" the midi support, and they play the music using the internal sound generator. Is there some kind of "standard procedure", or it depends on each individual game? the "F1" trick works with Atomic Robo Kid, but not in many others. Does someone know more about X68k MT-32 support?

Thanks!

Most X68000 games would show a list of which sound device you would like to use before the game boots - Konami's games did this.

Also, the NEC PC-98 has far more games that support the SC-55, MT-32 (although some are second-gen only), SC-88 and CM-64.

You should try hoot if you're just after the music - brilliant little program for listening to the music natively

Very interesting. I don't know very much about the Nec PC98, though. You could consider expanding the MT-32 game support list in the Wikipedia
