Noctropolis eh- that reminds me, I got in touch with the composer, and we had a long chat. But after that I never heard from him again. Man, that score was excellent (shame the game was only half-excellent  ). - Alistair Looking forward to record all the music as *.mid using dosbox. Did you chat about composing stuff (did he use sort of a beta of the game to get the music right for the different locations?)? |

DosBox has an internal MIDI recording option (and also an OPL output recording option, though it doesn't work very well).
IIRC, you need to press CTRL-SHIFT-F8 to start and stop the recording. It's not perfect either, but it does record sysex as well as MIDI commands.
Thanks! I'll check it out... It's CTRL-ALT-F8. Works perfect (incl. sysex) so far - just recorded the superb Noctropolis music.  Great feature of DosBox. In the 90s I had to rip the midi files (without sysex) using an editor. |

BTW: On your site "Buzz Aldrin’s Race Into Space (1993) Roland Sound Canvas version" is linked to the cd version (and cd to sc55). But sounds great anyway  You can rip *.mid with DosBox? Do you record it using a midi sequenzer? |

This was something very new to me even though I've been an Amiga user since the late 80's and currently own around 30 Amiga computers
I've never installed any Sierra game from the original discs...I've only played the whdload verion of the games
Interesting info indeed....too bad the Lucasarts games have no MT32 support
Checked Monkey Island 1 the other day. If my memory serves me well Chris "Turrican" Hülsbeck did a very good job converting the music to Amiga. Sierras SQ4 sounds way better with MT-32... BTW: Got my first Amiga (1000) 1987 - still in great condition  |

I watched the SQ4 graphics of the Amiga port a couple of days ago. Pretty awful. All washed out and dull, but hey, what do you expect from a conversion from 256 color vga to 32 colors?
The SQ4 conversion is very poor - Monkey Island 2 for example looks great on Amiga. Space Quest 4/PC:  SQ4 Amiga:  |
