Hi, is there any MIDI software devices for Windows 9x versions? Like VirtualMIDISynth.

There's WinGroove, WaveGuide (Creative only), Yamaha SYXG70, and some form of Timidity.... and none of these do SF2 files if that's what you're after (which is fair, as there wasn't a SF2 crisis in the 90s)

Timidity does, at least in the ++ incarnation. Keropi also seems to have success running Fluidsynth in Win98.

Is there certain versions of Timidity that I should download? I downloaded the latest version, but Windows 98 SE has en error, it expects a newer version of Windows.

You likely need to put together a toolchain in Win98 as most (all?) builds will be for newer OS versions.
