Roland Backs Down On MT-32 Emulator

canadacow writes "This is a follow up to the cease and desist letter the MT-32 project received (Original Story). Roland, unable to find documentationg establishing a copyright on the MT-32's ROM, has yielded to the project and allowed distribution of the emulator to continue. On my page www.artworxinn.com/alex I've again posted the emulator along with the legal developments as they happened after the receipt of the initial C&D letter. This development was largely due in part to the legal support of the Electronic Frontier Foundation."

So then you could distribute your emulator. It may still be infected with decimal literals, or decimal spread out through number outputs and documentation. But abolishment of copyright would be a good step.

Bah. Amiga sux. For music, it had to be the Atari ST. Had one back then, kick-ass. Digital sampling and integrated MIDI. Many a classic electro track was coined there. No one used Amigas!
