CGA absolutely wasn't *meant* for composite. IBM was a business machine, CGA was meant for text mode, in which it can happily to 16 colors. Graphics were an afterthought, and at this point the card had no ram left, hence no ability to hold a palette.

If these are Windows, you'd need both Windows and DOS to run them back in the day, as one would load on top of another. DosBox can't run Windows games unless you install Windows 3.x on it first.

It is very cool. But FPGA is also emulation, just on a different level, but still facing many issues. I take issue with the attitude, mostly. And, of course, don't forget that in 40 years these consoles will be just as dead as the consoles they are emulating.

Some people spent years fighting against the negative image the word "emulation" got from being demonized by Nintendo & others, now retro community is happily waltzing backwards again, just in the name of snappy marketing.

It's hard to talk about scanlines and the attempts to emulate them today, because when I look at my CRT, I don't see them (unless I'm at a distance where it might be detrimental to my health,) yet if you take a picture or a video of a CRT monitor, there they are!

The score was composed for the MT-32.
Thu Oct 25 19:14:14 +0000 2018Replying to @AndrewJacksonZA
Essentially yes. Roland MT-32 and General MIDI aren't the same format, but they are still MIDI devices. The sound cards you've listed had FM synthesis chips. SB16 had an option to add in a MIDI daughter board though.
Thu Oct 25 19:27:32 +0000 2018Replying to @AndrewJacksonZA
I'm in the same boat as you though. I haven't heard the proper MIDI renditions of many game tunes until years later. And it's not like have an MT-32 or a Sound Canvas even today. It's all emulated.

Saw it on the DVDTalk boards. I'm sure this discussion is happening everywhere else right about now though. I myself am holding out for the inevitable Funko-less edition.
