Mt32-Pi Akumajou Dracula issue - comparison with an older pre-release build
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2022 4:19 pm
Hi folks,
I've been playing around with the various builds of the X68000 core for quite a long time, but have only just gotten around to trying the officially released version from around mid December. I've seen people mention in various places with regards to the midi aspect of the core that Akumajou Dracula is the "go to game" to test (and for me it certainly was with the earlier unofficial builds). But I've also seen people mention that's it perfect. From my perspective it isn't, and there seems to be quite a regression when comparing the midi music from the newly released official build with a test build from back in May 2021 that first introduced the Mt32-Pi element. To my ears, the difference is night & day in that various elements of the music are out of time with each other on the official build. This is not the case with the earlier test build.
I guess I'm asking if this is a known issue, or is there something in my setup that is wrong that i'm overlooking? My Mt32-Pi (3A+) has the lastest updates from dOpefish, works fine with the ao486 core & an earlier pre-release build of the X68000 core, but has issues with the official X68000 core release. I've uploaded a couple of videos to hightlight what I'm hearing.
This is the officially released build from December 2021.
This is the unofficial test build from May 2021 (I think I even got the RBF from main discussion thread here!). You can definitely here the difference bewtween the two
Is this a known issue, or is there something wrong with my setup? Any insights & suggestions would be appreciated!
