I uploaded the GMBK5X128_203.DXB to the dreamblaster x2 on a awe32 then loaded the game specifying mt32-lapc soundcard. This is not enough. It will not work unless you switch your Dreamblaster to MT-32 mode. Your game will not do this since it expects a native MT-32. Here's one of my posts form …

Hi, First off, thanks @ Falcosoft for your Midi Player. I am really liking it so far. But I do have one issue currently, and was hoping that someone could help. WASAPI and/or sample rate selection don't work for me, or I can't get it to work. I am running Midi Player 5.7 32 bit, and I am using some …

... Less success with Indy 4 and Space Quest 3 - wrong instruments in many parts. I will give this another try in a real PC sometime, though. Maybe SOFTMPU /MT32 will give me better results than the BAT files. Regardless, it's not a straightforward or reliable method from what I've experienced so …

You say there's no sysex to put a GM device into MT-32 mode and at the same time you attach a MIDI file that does exactly that... :dead: That file is (c) 1992 by Roland, so what is it if not a default sysex for MT-32 mode..? I'm not sure if you deliberately do not want to understand what I have …

Hi, 1. The new GS compatible Dream bank (GMBK5X128_203.DXB https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=65378) really contains MT-32 compatible instruments at Bank MSB 127 and an MT-32 compatible Drum set at Bank MSB 0 Program 127.

Don't forget the 64-bit version of the test build! Make sure you include 64-bit test builds every next time! It's not forgotten. I never did this (and never will) unless someone explicitly requested it. It's because of this: The x86 and x64 built use different code base because of ANSI/Unicode and …

More results from the K6-400 smaller soundfonts work fine. (30-50mb) You just have to disable the visualizations. Hi, Thanks for your report. Maybe changing desktop bit depth can solve visualization performance problems similarly to Elinda's P166 MMX system: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f= …

Hello, I am using the midi player on an Intel NUC and it runs perfectly. Now I saw that the Raspberry Pi 4 is out. I was wondering if the midi player would perform faster now in wine. I have no experiences with this tiny thing, but 4gb of RAM and I think about 60 or 80 percent more CPU power sounds …

Hi, 1. I'm glad that it can work with these compromises on your system. The problem with a 'use 32-bit desktop bit depth for better performance' recommendation is that it's not universally true. E.g. on My Athlon XP + Abit KT7A (VIA Chipset) + Geforce 6600 PC the situation is just the opposite. It …

Hi, 1. 166 MHz CPU is definitely not ideal for Midi player. Midi Player is rather for newer CPUs (ideally at least dual core) in the GHz range. The weakest hardware I use for testing and gives acceptable result is Athlon 550 MHz in Win98SE. The Midi file scanning already uses its own separate thread …

1. "Use SysEx for Volume/Balance" is the cause. If disabled, it will properly change to XG. The "SysEx Effects" can be set to anything, even if I do set a custom reverb/hall/value, it will still change to XG as long as "Use SysEx for Volume/Balance" is disabled. After doing that I obviously cannot …

The 'SysEx Effects' controls are set to Default and exactly at the middle position (64). You can do this by …
