https://streamable.com/cnzpbh Playing a few sample MT32 midi files on my RPI4 2gb. If I understand htop's output it seems like it's using maybe 50% of one core for these particular midi files. I think that's plenty of leftover CPU for DOSBOX and whatever else you'd need. That's with Process all …

For Munt on the console only, you can add it to rc.local or create a service file (Debian style sysvinit, openrc, systemd unit file, etc). It's not split into client/server, so if you want to use the qt or X11 interface, you'll need to start it interactively. You can use tools like tmux and logger …

@7F20 Hmm, maybe exactly the unability of aplaymidi to send .syx files was behind the mt32d's option "-e filename : Sysex patch output (.syx file)". Still, I think you take it a bit wrong. Since you have started mt32d, it keeps the internal synth state up to a reset or death. You should be able to …

Potentially confusing: When using the MOUNT, IMGMOUNT or BOOT commands in DOSBox, your meant to use the HOST OS (Linux in your case) paths and slashes. But with other DOSBox commands, your meant to use back slashes like in regular DOS. Which is why I've never been able to figure out which slash I'm …

No.... it will NOT create a directory. It will create a file test.txt in a fictitious directory structure, that you where meant to replace with your own. If the directory does not exist it will not create the file. And this has nothing to do with Linux not having a C: drive either. What is your …

Thanks. I think you're right in that Mt32d doesn't have a command line midi player. But the GUI version of Munt is able to play midi files, because I've done it in Windows as I've described above. Since I can't use the GUI version in my setup, I guess I'll just have to use a different program. I …

It prints "hello" in the console and there is no error, but I don't see the file anywhere. I assume this would create a directory called \dir\to\game in the file location that I mounted as "c:"? Maybe it's because I don't have a real "c" because this is linux.

Ok. I figured out how to do it from windows. There was an older topic here https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=8387 that explains how to use the "Test midi driver" option to instantiate a synth window which is used in conjunction with the "play midi file" window to first load sysex and then …

Ok. Thanks. I'll try that. I understand folder properties (chown) and all that, but I'm still noob when it comes to implementation. I think I can do it from inside midnight commander. Also, sorry about putting the question in the wrong category! Thanks for moving it. 😀

Its really easy: Open Munt Click on Tools, select "play MIDI file" On the window that pops up, select "add" and find the Midi you want to play. Well, it's not really that easy actually. That only works with midi files that use the built in MT32 sounds as-is , which is basically never the case with …

Play midi files with munt?

I want to play the old sierra midi files with munt. I can't figure out how to do it. The old releases of the midi files come with a sysex file and a .mid file, and I just don't know how to make it work. Ideally, I want to play them on my raspberry pi using mt32d, but I can't even get them to play in …
