Detailed Description

Decoder for "MPS MIDI" format data.

This format for MIDI music is also used in a few other Microprose games contemporary with Transport Tycoon.

The song data are usually packed inside a CAT file, with one CAT chunk per song. The song titles are used as names for the CAT chunks.

Unlike the Standard MIDI File format, which is based on the IFF structure, the MPS MIDI format is best described as two linked lists of sub-tracks, the first list contains a number of reusable "segments", and the second list contains the "master tracks". Each list is prefixed with a byte giving the number of elements in the list, and the actual list is just a byte count (BE16 format) for the segment/track followed by the actual data, there is no index as such, so the entire data must be seeked through to build an index.

The actual MIDI data inside each track is almost standard MIDI, prefixing every event with a delay, encoded using the same variable-length format used in SMF. A few status codes have changed meaning in MPS MIDI: 0xFE changes control from master track to a segment, 0xFD returns from a segment to the master track, and 0xFF is used to end the song. (In Standard MIDI all those values must only occur in real-time data.)

As implemented in the original decoder, there is no support for recursively calling segments from segments, i.e. code 0xFE must only occur in a master track, and code 0xFD must only occur in a segment. There are no checks made for this, it's assumed that the only input data will ever be the original game music, not music from other games, or new productions.

Additionally, some program change and controller events are given special meaning, see comments in the code.
