It was a source code port, not an emulator.

Neither. It uses some kind of PSX emulator to emulate system calls, graphics etc., but it runs native x86 code. Sort of like compiling Windows app to Linux with Winelib.

It sounds like it but they haven't - MIDI is never used. Just some sounds and sprites didn't survive being ported very well, especially the jingles and explosion sprites in Abe's Exoddus PC.
Also regarding emulators - If you already own a PS1 console and the games, then it's not illegal to own an emulator I think.

AO and AE use MIDI for all music, but it doesn't use the crappy gm.dls that comes with Windows but custom soundfonts created for the game (They're a part of sounds.dat). MIDI is, in fact, a very good format as long as you use good soundfonts.
Also, can someone explain what's wrong with the PC port of AO/AE? I find it pretty accurate and well made...
