Hi, I got tired of using AWE Control when changing soundfonts for different games on my retro pc (WinME).
I couldnt find any programs that did exactly what I needed so I created a command line program that can changes and upload a soundfont to the soundcard.
The program can be run in a bat script and it has a settings file that you can specify multiple soundfonts and choose them with a key.
For example;

1settings.cfg:
2sf1=path/to/soundfont
3sf2=path/to/another/soundfont
4
5sfloader -s sf1

This will load the soundfont corresponding to the key sf1 in settings.

Basically what the program does is what AWE Control does when choosing a new soundfont for general midi.
Updates the settings in the registry and reloads general midi on the soundcard.

I'm a java developer and only have dabbled in basic C programs so it has been a learning experience writing this program.
So I'll apologize for the code! 😉

Before using the program make sure that the register_path is correct in settings.cfg.
It should point to the soundcard settings, a way of finding it is searching in regedit for the choosen soundfont.
And now that I think of it, it should be named registry_path, oh well.
I'll fix that with the next push.
If the path differs from what is in settings.cfg, please write that in the thread.

I hope it will make someones life easier when playing around with soundfonts on you retro pc!
