Alien Breed M32 Format

SETUP.M32 is a 103-byte binary configuration record. It is byte-identical to mt32/SETUP.DAT and the extensionless REM file. It differs from root SETUP.DAT and sb16/SETUP.DAT only at offset 0x06, where it contains 01 instead of 00.

The filename and identity with the preset selected by run.bat identify this as an MT-32 configuration preset. Its stored format is the same as the setup-record family described in .DAT.

Notes

Treat this as a fixed binary record, not MIDI music. Preserve unknown fields if comparing or copying a preset. The precise sound-setting field name at offset six, numeric enumeration, and remaining options have not been reverse engineered.

No public Alien Breed .M32 schema was located. The original READ.ME lists Roland sound support, while the byte identity and preset relationship were verified locally. No preset was activated during this task.
