Apple IIe, Ultima V, Passport midi card and Midi modules. The sound is real from Apple II & midi modules. ....but this video was edited by the emulator. I have no video capture board :)
@TheDeev Someone did make a midi music patch for PC/DOS version of Ultima 5, actually the same guy who did the EGA and Midi music patch for Ultima 3 did the one for Ultima 5. I'll send you a PM with the link to the patches.
i only have a II+ and ultima v doesn't support any music for a II+ (but 4 and 3 did) though it still was great and i may play it again, all 5 floppies of it :D
how do you make the apple //e roms work? when it asked me to put in disk 1,2 (I assume it means side 2, and the second rom in the set) I put it into the first slot and press all the buttons and nothing happens. If I do that and hit reset, it says it's a character disk, but if I leave them as-is, then it just restarts the intro animation... :(
Alright. Someone needs to make a patch to put this beautiful music into the 16 color graphic PC version. It's ironic that the PC went from being the "business only" computer with four really pathetic colors (look at the gray water in Ultima III for an example, to being up there with the Amiga by the time Ultima VI came out.
so ... with the passport midi card installed, you hook up a midi cable from the midi OUT of the passport card, to the midi IN of a general midi cable synthesizer, a Roland JV1080, for example, send the audio output of the JV1080 to some speakers, and this is what you'll get basically... this is how it works? right? Because I highly doubt this is the sounds coming from the IIgs's soundcard. let me know if I'm way off.
Did you record the midi from the Mountain Computer music synthesizer cards? Or is it another type of midi wavetable card?

Greatest game ever made.
Things that games lack today... are character... story... personality. And I don't mean a little "hint" of any of that... I mean IMMERSION.
When I played this game... I felt like there were ACTUAL PEOPLE at stake in the game...
When I played the U5:Lazarus remake... it completed surpassed all my expectations of what an epic game could be.
Do yourself a favor. If you're watching and you've never played? GO PLAY U5: Lazarus. It's amazing. Not kidding.

The Apple II Ultima 5 graphics look like they are from Ultima IV. The sound is pretty impressive though.
