If these were really the tracks from classic EQ they would of needed to of been on a CD, back then that was the only real way to play music of this quality while playing a game AFAIK.

@Tsuchang: You have a gnome as a sig, so you are clearly going through some personal/drug issues at the moment. Don't be too hard on yourself, monster!
OP: you linked the wrong song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdyv...VExvM&index=24 | ||

A great many people presently use onboard sound which typically has only poor MIDI support. Way back when you would've been using things like SoundBlaster Live! or AWE32 which would've given different results. That being said it still wouldn't have sounded quite the same as that modern video. There are old videos also on youtube made using various types of hardware (or simulated equivalents).
For my part I was also among the folks who always turned game music off (sound on, but music off). 90's MIDI music always sounded so bad compared to consoles of the era. Danth | ||

So now that the conversation has started, what have some people found on the interwebz that gets the midis as close to the original sounds as possible?

EQ used some sort of proprietary file for its music, although I think it was really just midi music converted to a different format so people couldn't easily listen to it out-of-game. An old EQ patch note for EQ suggests that most users heard pre-rendered music, although users with SBLive! or AWE32 cards got something different. If you can remember what hardware you had in 1999/2001 that'll let you know what you want to hunt for on youtube/elsewhere.

But then again I know the sound debate is a complex one, some people prefer a quiet game play but for me without sound P99 or EQ at all is not eq.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
