I'm trying to route MPU-401 General MIDI to Window's native MIDI mapper so that I can play DOS games from within Windows using Yamaha's software synthesizer. I found that I can make this work using VDMSound, but it is extremely unstable and can cause the system to hang or sound to not work properly after the game exits.
Is there anything like this VDMSound solution specifically for Windows 9x for MIDI mapping? I know that sound cards such as Aureal and Creative can already do this natively, but I am trying to make it work with an integrated VIA sound card, and there is no such feature provided by the drivers. It's somewhat frustrating because it DOES work with VDMSound. It's just unstable and the system needs to be rebooted after using it, which is super annoying.
I did try removing all of the modules from VDMSound other than the ones needed for MIDI, but this did not improve stability.
