kerberos MIDI code and VICE

[Eric Cyb]

Hello

I have compiled synthesizer.c example code.
When I run it on a real C64 with the kerberos, it works fin and I can hear the MIDI notes.

Since the kerberos is compatible with DATEL MIDI interfaces, I assumed that the same code would run on VICE, with DATEL emulation.
Am I wrong?

If not, does anyone have an example similar to synthesizer.c, in C language (at least some parts), working on a DATEL interface ?

Thank you
Eric

Look at line 81 in synthesizer.c: "init Namesoft MIDI emulation". And you need a recent version of VICE, because there was a bug with MIDI IRQs. You might need to delete the test with "midiIrqNmiTest()", too, for VICE.

Hello and thank you for your quick reply.

You were right, the function midiIrqNmiTest() returned an error, so I assumed that MIDI emulation didn't work at all.
Once I removed this test, I managed to get MIDI working in Namesoft emulation using WinVice 3.2 with wine under linux.
But unfortunately I couldn't get it to work directly with Vice for linux...

Thanks a lot and thanks for the kerberos, it's amazing!
