I wanted to use the mt32-pi as well but it doesn’t support the SC55-SC88-etc emulator which is another thing I use a lot, so I just ended using my lab PC as a big-ass MIDI emulator.
The MT32pi already supports an external LCD to use as an MT32 LCD, btw. I really hope someone adds SC support to it

I maintain that the MS-DOS version doesn’t get enough love largely due to most people not realizing it had CM-32 support.

Most of the above - designed for Multisystem2 ‘sidecar’ expansion so can also still use SNAC / Cartridges.
Our goal is to have both MT32pi & Floppy function at the same time (or other SNAC carts + floppy)
We plan to make some enhancements to the FPGA core too.
We have plenty of I/O on MMS2 😁

I'm late for the #retrogaming party. Again.
First was when I discovered the #mt32pi - an emulator of the legendary Roland MT-32 MIDI device, that nobody could afford, but was supported by a number of awesome games back in the late #80s / early #90s. Dale Winham, the developer behind it, threw […]

Should I get a MT32pi set up or a PicoGus. The PicoGus can only go in my AMD K6-2 machine due to ISA but having CD-Rom emulation sounds really cool. The MT32Pi though could work on any of my PC/laptops/MiSTer & support MT32... hmmm
Any retro PC heads weigh in on this. (you all will say both)

Two WP32 Front Panel Designs — My Way.
I wanted something that better fit my own aesthetic, so I made two drop-in replacements:
Design A: clean, retro, no border
Design B: bold, framed, structured
Non-commercial, no forks.

Ahora que lo pienso, ¿pillaste una mister normal o la que parece una playstation? Porque a la segunda no se si se le puede conectar un mt32pi (usa un puerto especial que tiene la mister y no se si tiene la otra)

That's one of the fist sountracks I heard on my Sound Blasters, one of the firsts I tried using the MT-32 emulation of my Gravis UltraSound, and probably the fist game I tried when I got a Mister FPGA with a MT32Pi hat, which is probably the closest I will get to owning a real Roland

there are a few bare metal synths made this way like the mt32pi and minidexed if you're looking for examples of bare metal dev for the pi.

My 486 PC is honestly pretty damned peak and it's a shame I don't get to tinker on it more often (I've since replaced the speakers with vintage JBLs I got from Goodwill for $2) #msdos #retrocomputing #retrogaming

I looked through the manual and in game and didn't spot anything (the manual is shared with the MSX2 version but I didn't see midi). I was just curious. I've got to get an MT32Pi set up for my MiSTer and old pcs

eventually when i get my SuperStation one in, i want to convert this project into a portable FPGA emulator without going full analog pocket. I got a MT32pi built and ready to go, figure out how to merge that all into one thing also.

Yeah the Amiga core is really good as well, and the MT32pi works with it as well. But anyway back to topic, it really does amaze me that Commodore stuck so much capable hardware in those things. When I am trying to build comparable PCs you do need so much tech, sometimes for a lesser experience.

I had/have an Amiga but never owned the MT32 at the time. I now have the mt32pi addon for my fpga hardware emulator. The difference in dos games is awesome

question, it seems really easy and cheap to build my own MT32Pi by ordering the parts, but for some reason i don't know where to get the PCBs at
anyone know how to even go about that

Massive thanks to Michel who not only posed the question "can my MiniDexed EuroRack PCB also run MT32-Pi" but then proceeded to figure out how and to send me the instructions :)
