Re: Road Rash '96 - MIDI Error

Posted on 2022-04-19, 14:47

in Windows
The actually opened/active port has to implement this since the first parameter you have set when you call midiOutSetVolume is the port handle returned by midiOutOpen or the device ID of the selected device. If CoolSoft Midi mapper is installed both the default port handle and the default device ID …

Probably since there's no real use of this function now, thus he didn't implement it. Coolsoft has to implement the function. That's it. Coolsoft could implement it in VirtualMIDISynth, but if you are using Coolsoft MIDI Mapper + LoopMIDI + Falcosoft MIDI Player and Sound Canvas VA, which of the …

Hi, Although I do not have this exact game to test with I'm 99% sure that the problem is not 'mixer' related per se but the problem is the missing support for the midiOutSetVolume function. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mmeapi/nf-mmeapi-midioutsetvolume This function is never …

I needed some time and I used the MPU-401 on my Windows XP and it gives the MIDI error. But here, instead of music playing in race, it doesn't play but plays again in menu. This is looking hard. If two facts constitute proof, we can say that Road Rash doesn't recognize external synthesizers (I had …

I tried the game now and there's not a solution, skipping the error isn't possible since it isn't an excepton. Reading Silanda's comment I come to understand that the game tries to look for a MIDI volume mixer, which was present in Windows but non-functional in games since Windows Vista when every …

I searched for the game's issues on Coolsoft website and it seems they assumed the issue would be fixed in the new update, but it wasn't. I uninstalled MidiSynth for this same reason. I should try if the game runs into some exception error and if they can be skipped... @BEEN_Nath_58, I hope you …

Road Rash '96 - MIDI Error

Hi, as the title suggests I would like to discuss this famous problem affecting the Road Rash game released for Windows 95 in 1996. Using Coolsoft MIDI Mapper + LoopMIDI + Falcosoft MIDI Player (+ Sound Canvas VA) in Windows 10/11, when starting a race, "MIDI Error" will be displayed. Despite this …

I don't know, this is beyond my knowledge. I just know that we have to wait for the release of OpenAL Soft 1.22.0. At that point, maybe, DSOAL will be updated to use the new EAX implementation.

This is a conversation with the developers some time ago: eaxefx_dev: "First mention of OpenAL was in EAX 2.0 SDK. You won't find anything about OpenAL in EAX 1.0 SDK." me: "Thanks for the reply. So will EAX 1.0 not be added in OpenAL Soft?" openalSoft_dev: "Not unless there's an old OpenAL app that …

I didn't know about these patches. I managed to apply them now, but one way or the other, the VSC is no match for the SCVA. As an example, the choir you can hear in Doom's E1M8 is a mere shadow of what it should be with VSC. Is there by any chance also a way to increase default polyphony in the VSC …

There's no more the "legacy" EAX option in cmake configuration file, only the one used by EAXEFX. If you build the binaries you will not get EAX by soft_oal.dll only. No problem using it with OpenAL32.dll provided by eaxefx. I don't understand what you're saying 🤨 It now appears active by default, …

The old VSC VST that is freely available can use the SC-55 instruments, but it has to be patched/hacked to get them. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=36140 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=64956 It is simply using the SC-55 VSC samples (which are identical to the Microsoft GS Wavetable …

This is the Far Cry 64 bit log file. EAX is working?? I tried Level 2 Carrier with OpenAL Soft's reverb set to "boost =+12" (to be sure I hear it) and the reverb is there! So is EAX actually working with Far Cry 64 bit?? From my ears it would seem so (I also think the log file confirms this).

From the log file. Often reverb with DSOAL is inaudible, ALchemy seems to be the equivalent of "boost = +12" in DSOAL/OpenAL Soft. Also in this game EAX is poorly designed but still DirectSound3D should work now. EDIT This is what solved the problem: https://github.com/kcat/dsoal/commit/ …
