As the author confesser in harahabr, he just converted the [[MDS]] files to [[MP3]]. The sounding indicated that for this the [[MIDi Decoder]] was used (without the [[SF2]] file it don't dive [[General MIDI]] sounding, making the notes different). Specifically, it was firtsly converted [[MDS]] to [[WAV]] using this software, then [[WAV]] to [[MP3]].

DX-Ball is a JavaScript recreation of the original Windows release of this quite famous Arkanoid-style game.

Music

The music is the same with W32 release. There are two noticeable differenses: the sounding differs (see below) and you can't switch back to the another tracks by pressing F5 - tracks are just repeating 1-3 times, then it changes to the different track in the order.

As the author confessed in the Habrahabr, he just converted the MDS files into MP3. Obviously MDS files were rendered with MIDI Decoder using "Emu de MIDI" mode, so it doesn't sound like with Roland SCC-1 patch set, but sounds like a specific sound chip. Specifically, the author firstly converted MDS to WAV using this software, then WAV to MP3.

Recording

Just converted MP3 files to OGG.
