For the fluidsynth 2.1 support that I've added to a libretro dosbox core I'm currently working on, having fluidsynth output audio is not necessary. Instead you can make it render audio directly in the dosbox mixer buffer using fluid_synth_write_s16(). I added an FSYNTH dos mixer channel (like the …

the 4-6 scaler patch should be easy to repair. Maybe one of the next commits will make it possible to apply again, as is. It's probably the partial 4x4 scaler implementation that went into the commit (that broke it), as my code contains more changes than the part that I committed. It's no secret …

You don't need "loopmidi" (whatever that is). You just load SCVA in MIDI Player. Then configure Midi Player to use "MIDI Through Port-0": https://i.imgur.com/S7zqCaL.png If you run " aconnect -l" in a terminal, you should then see something like: $ aconnect -l client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 ' …

Looks quite OK to me. Except for one thing: everything looks too busy, chaotic and thus somewhat confusing and tiring. Normally, only the actual content (that is, text in posts) should have a high contract color. Now, everything does. Icons, post count/join date/location, as well as the whole page …

Please don't use that. It's an old version of fluidsynth You mean fluidsynth 1.1.6? And are you aware that I'm currently using even older version of fluidsynth? OK, do you know any better option? You can build a minimal version of Fluidsynth (2.1.0 currently) that does depend on audio drivers or …

Yeah, that's normal. It doesn't print anything, it just loads itself into memory and stays there. Also, do you actually need gatefix.com? The starting room ("Your Quarters") music plays fine for me after the intro with current SVN dosbox.

Nevertheless, it works and it's just as you said: It is more trivial to redirect output into dosbox mixer than compile operational FluidSynth library. At least under MinGW enviroment. There is a lightweight version of FluidSynth just for this purpose: FluidSynth-Lite Please don't use that. It's an …

There no such thing as "original opl3 gm sound bank". Software that wants to play MIDI files through OPL needs to program the chip in a way that makes it sound like the MIDI instruments that are being played. This is usually done through sound banks. Each game, each MIDI player, each application, …
