Essential improvements
General MIDI
The game was composed on the original Roland SC-55. It also uses the Roland GS extensions for percussion.
Unfortunately, it sends drum changes that are incompatible with the Roland SC-55mkII or other later Roland models like the SC-88.
Because the game uses the Roland GS extensions, it will not sound the same when played on a non-GS compatible General MIDI compatible device.
A patch[1] by Vogons user Tikalat is available to fix some of these problems, such that the game will sound correct on other Roland GS compatible devices.
Roland MT-32
The game supports the Roland MT-32, but to sound correct it needs an MT-32 Old. When using the Munt MT-32 emulator, or a DOSBox build with integrated MT-32 emulation, make sure that a MT-32 Old ROM set is used.
