I just got sick working on this a tad (spent like the entire night reverse engineering the MIDI code to make a DLL that adds proper MIDI support to the client) but here's the final result:

Notice the Old UI is fixed up a bit as well. This is the result of adding a proper server name to the configuration file.
Next up, position updates and spells. After that I will demonstrate a modern-era client (Titanium) and an old-era client (EQMac) in sync.
Note: Unfortunately the Trilogy client is incompatible with modern hardware, and the EQMac one barely works as-is, so this is the closest you will get to perfection on Windows 8.
