Releases · BlitterStudio/amiberry
v5.6.5
This new release of Amiberry bring a lot of new features, especially regarding I/O Ports.
MIDI devices are now supported, with the help of the portmidi library. This also adds a new requirement, as that library needs to be installed in your system from now on.
Additionally, MIDI emulation, in the form of MT-32 (using the munt library) is now available as well. The library is included with Amiberry, so you don't need to install it yourself. However, you do require to get the MT-32 ROMs yourself, and place them in the <kickstarts>/mt32-roms directory, where Amiberry will look for them.
Besides that, the serial port support has been improved, Parallel support was added (using VPAR only, for now), AHI playback was fixed, and lots more!
Note: This version adds a few new requirements: libportmidi and cmake - make sure you have those installed!
