Hi,

I'm developing the Freesynd project where I'm recreating the original Syndicate game but using the original resources.
Currently I can play the music using the original XMI files. I'm using SDL_Mixer library.
But the "rendered" music is not very good and I'm trying to enhance it.
I have tested Px Player that I saw on this thread and with the driver ADLIB.ADVor SBP2FM.ADV, the music is quite close to what I can here on Dosbox when I run the original game.

So I'm looking for a solution to recreate the same thing in my game. I don't want to simulate all the sound cards, I only want to have a decent music.
And it should be multi platform : windows, linux, macos.

Any ideas on how I should approach this problem, knowing that I know bare minimum in this field?

Thanks for your help!

If you want to render the music using OPL3, then try the libADLMIDI library (the embedded bank #19 is from Syndicate).

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I have seen a library call sdl_mixer X which is a fork of sdl_mixer and that offers an integration with those libraries. I will give it a try.
