Please excuse the late response: That's an interesting request! You want to work with raw MIDI files instead of audio files in your game? I don't like to have to decline a polite request like this, but unfortunately converting these into decent sounding .mid files would be a pretty big challenge, since there's a lot in these 3 chiptune packs that is not translatable into MIDI (either at all, or else not in a way that'd sound anything like the original patches, even if the notes were technically the same). I could explain why if you wanted to know, but otherwise won't risk boring you with more unwanted technical info. :)
If you happened to want MIDI files enough to turn it into a commission job, it would probably actually be easier for me to make a new pack of MIDI files from scratch that were intentionally composed to conform to general MIDI instruments from the start...
That's alright. Thanks just the same. I was thinking about actual retro platforms instead of simulated feel. For example PCM wouldn't be useful for SNES/N64/CD-less Genesis and DOS. And for the CD systems, the need to keep constant audio feed going, would impose restrictions. For instance PSX 2MB RAM/1MB VRAM configuration, with the loss of ability to cache in additional data on demand, would mean quite limited and bland levels. DOS CD game would be fine, since you can install it and leave CD just for the music. People used to provide .mid files even though they didn't sound like final song, when MIDI had a comeback in Japan around 2010 in RPG Maker circles. Not that common anymore, I understand.

The most gritty barbaric chiptunes ever conceived! Great collection. Would love some looping tracks!
Could you include MIDI files please?
