    Hello -
    IS there a way to allow ANSI music to work in mystic/netrunner ?
    Thanks

    No, ANSI music is not supported. I think Mystic itself may filter it out if you try to put it in your ANSI files even. Now that part I can probably
    change relatively easily. But...

    Adding ANSI music itself into NetRunner might be a little bit more of a process considering it doesn't use any sort of audio subsystem at all, so I will need to look into that.

    I am still having some issues with FreePascal and SDL2 though which has caused me to stop working on NetRunner for the moment. I really don't believe there is a problem with my code considering the same code behaves differently when compiled with Free Pascal 3.0.2 vs 3.0.4.

    I'll put it on my list. Are there any games that actually use it? I think I remember The Pit back in the day supported it but that is all I can think of.

    You know you want to implement one of those annoying connect sounds like Terminate or Telix! lol! Better yet, have it configurable between the
    different old skool connect sounds. lol! BTW, love netrunner! :)

    I might actually do that if I add ANSI music :)

    I also have an connect ANSI too that I never implemented that maybe I could finally add in. Its a bit obnoxious though, but I could always make these optional.

    I see , well if you can make mystic not filter it that would cool, I cant
    think of any game off hand but was thinking it would be a cool mod to go back to .
    Thanks

    Do it! It would be fun! :D Truth be known, I'd probably play with it for a
    few days, then disable it. lol! I finally got Terminate to work in dosbox,
    and when it connected and made the sound my sister, who was there at the
    time, jumped and asked "what was that?" I said "an old friend." lol!

    Bwahahahaha... Yeah, I noticed there is no connected screens. That would be interesting as well. Just getting back to old skool practices. ;)

    Operation Overkill II has its special little emulation. Syncterm has it implemented, and they have their own OOII term program that works, but I don't think anyone else has implemented it.

    Being able to add ANSI music to a gallery would be nice for those wishing to have that. I seem to remember a gallery door that boasted ANSI music support, but the name escapes me. I'll have to do a lookup on it and see what I can find.
