X68000

Hoot is a Multi-Soundchip Emulator – mostly focussing on japanese Homecomputers, but also with support for lots of other Systems (from the Sega Genesis to old PC Soundcards like the MT-32).

It features playlists, the ability to mute single channels, a great filebrowser, WAV logging and even such things as replaying MT-32 songs with a real MT-32!

Getting hoot to run for the first time might be somewhat complicated (although its worth it for sure!). Maybe its the best thing when I just send you to the Hoot Archive. At the left, at “Problems with hoot?” you can find a detailed explanation on how to get it to run.
