Re: Atari ST
After a further exchange with the (Linux) devs over on atari-forum one of them pulled down the current mainstream build of Hatari for Windows and found that it does NOT appear to contain the 'portmidi' patch which is needed for the Windows version to work with MIDI.
He pointed me to another guy, a Norwegian, who has recently stated an intention of maintaining his own build of Hatari for Windows with portmidi included. However, it's not clear whether he got around to that yet.
I'm sorry to say, therefore, that for the time being your best bet for MIDI support in Hatari is to run the Linux version, where I can say from experience that it works well. It may be that STEEM for Windows is further on in this regard and just needs some obscure setting tweaked, I just don't know.
The late arrival of MIDI support in Atari ST emulators is quite surprising really: An Atari ST without MIDI is like a Ferrari which isn't red, just.... wrong.
