MT32-pi Hat for MiSTer

Description

MT32-pi MIDI add-on for MiSTer FPGA created by D0pefish. Replicates the sound of the legendary Roland MT-32 connecting it via USB3.0 User I/O to the MiSTer FPGA to be able to listen to the classic games on ao486, Atari ST, Amiga and X68000 cores in gorgeous MIDI music (munt and Fluidsynth support).

What makes it special? Sounds amazing 🙂

This kit does not have the Raspberry Pi, but we have option with Pi included here.

Installation:

We include a pre-configured SDCard. If you need to prepare a new SDCard you may download the latest release, copy all files to a formatted SDcard and edit mt32-pi.cfg:

[control]
scheme = simple_buttons
mister = off
[lcd]
type = ssd1306_i2c
height = 64

When you power on the MT32-Pi, you should see a MiSTer splash screen.

MT32-pi by D0pefish:

• A work-in-progress bare-metal MIDI synthesizer for the Raspberry Pi, based on Munt, FluidSynth and Circle.
• Turn your Raspberry Pi into a dedicated emulation of the famous multi-timbre sound module used by countless classic MS-DOS, PC-98 and Sharp X68000 games!
• Add your favorite SoundFonts to expand your synthesizer with General MIDI, Roland GS, or even Yamaha XG support for endless MIDI possibilities.
• Includes General MIDI and Roland GS support out of the box thanks to GeneralUser GS by S. Christian Collins.
• No operating system, no complex Linux audio configuration; just super-low latency audio.
• Easy to configure and ready to play from cold-boot in a matter of seconds.
• The perfect companion for your MiSTer FPGA setup.
