@AMIGASYSTEM

In AROS One, you have “Assign:” to Timidity. Do you know which games/programs use it?

Timidity works like the famous GMPlay for AMiGA!

Timidity is a folder that includes many high-quality musical instruments and is used for MIDI players, music programmes, and games and that support Timidity that do not have a sound card compatible (or that do not have an audio card Example: basic Amigas that only use Paula).

On AROS, there are some music players that support it. On AROS 32-bit, ScummVM and DOSBox use it for MS-DOS games. MS-DOS games used MIDI files for sounds and music.

On AROS 64Bit, it is used by WildMidi, which I have configured as an Midi player. In fact, if you try to disable the assignment to Timidity, or delete/rename the Timidy folder, WildMidi will ask you to enter the Timidity volume!

Okay, thanks for the explanation.
In the game HydraCastleLabyrinth, I see that you uploaded the default config from Timidity. Unfortunately, the MIDI in this game does not seem to be compatible with Gravis instruments. After a few dozen seconds, the MIDI sound in the game breaks down.

But if you use sounds from Roland (mt-32.cfg), then everything plays nicely all the time! In this case, it is enough for the timidity.cfg file in the game directory to contain only two lines:

Code Download source


dir SYS:Extras/Music/Timidity

source mt-32.cfg


I am attaching the prepared file.

Timidity.cfg in the Timidity folder is Timidity's original default configuration. To have a Timidity.cfg compatible with PlayerMidi, Programs, and Games on AROS, you need to use the Timidity.cfg that I used for the ‘Wildmidi’ Player.

In practice, just rename wildmidi.cfg to Timidity.cfg or another name required by Programs, Games, etc. This configuration makes most of the required instruments available!

In new versions, I will add the compatible Timidity.cfg to the Timidity folder.

How do I enable the display of these additional gadgets on the window bar?

These Gadgets are enabled from Zune Prefs, see screenshot. Of course, the images must be present in the Window Themes; they are included in the AROS One Themes.

Please note that once Zune Prefs is saved, all Zune Applications will have these Gadgets, except for Applications where a previous save exists.

To get the gadgets on Zune applications where there is an old save, you must delete the old save from both Env-Archive/Zune and Ram:ENV/Zune.

This procedure is identical for MUI/Zune AROS 68k and MUI Amiga OS3.

Bugreport

OS : AROS One v2.9 ABIv0 32bit

Issue : unwanted requester: "Please insert volume "FPC" in any drive"

When : Invoking the Free Pascal IDE icon in ISO live mode (but also after installation of AROS one to HD)

Where : AROS:Development/FPC

Why : package startup entry (location) is missing from <iso-root>:Prefs/Env-Archive

Solution : Add entry for FPC package startup to <iso-root>:Prefs/Env-Archive


Original report can be seen at https://forum.laz...528.0.html

Unfortunately the original report is written in the Russian language subsection. I've tried to translate the problem to the best of my ability.

User additionally reported to have 'fixed' the problem by removing the FPC installation after the AROS-one HD installation and do a manual installation for Free Pascal (probably using ALB42's FPC installer, i did not ask and it actually does not matter as long as the official FPC4aros installer was used).

The reason that these steps made by the reporting user 'fixes' the problem is because the original installer does add the package startup directory to Prefs/Env-Archive but will only work after a reboot so that the assign is actually performed so that the FPC: assign actually exists.

I do not know (not have the time to figure it out atm, sorry) what the actual assign/volume names and paths are on/for AROS-one and if there are differences between live and installed run-mode.

HTH and TIA

PS @admin: putting text in code-tags does not mean the code should be interpreted and display as smileys as the forum-software does when (at least) previewing the text. And any user would expect for code to be displayed in a monospaced font and for the forum to leave the spaces as they are presented and not remove them as see fit.

Thank you for reporting this Magorium! This has been reported already (deadwood reported it first) and possible solutions also tried but to no avail. I tried until I couldn't anymore and reported it to the developer. The code tag is a known problem when it comes to spacing and indentention of lines of codes. Luckily for the smileys there is an option to disable them on publish.

On another note, what you posted is not actually code. I don't understand why not using regular text with Bold, Italic, and Underline tags and/or other options for text sizes to highlight the lines, etc. etc.

Thank you, Magorium, for reporting the problem. To be honest, it is not necessary to uninstall or change the volume path. To make FPC work on AROS One, all you had to do was assign the FPC path (I forgot to do this) from ‘SYS:PrefsEnv-ArchiveSYSPackages/FreePascal’ or from user-startup.

The next version of AROS One 32bit will include the new version 3.2.3 of FPC.

Zune/MUI listview doesn't work, where to report?
This is on ArosOne v2.9 32Bit Build ABI_V0 Dec 1 2025

If you start my Hollywood based software/app "Ticklish" the listview doesn't show any entries. Only if you swap to the second page/register and swap back to first register entries will be shown, therefor it seems to be a refresh problem. this problem does not appear on other systems especially AOS3.1/MUI3.6 or MUI5 neither on AOS4.1 MUI5.
BTW, this problem appears on hollywood example apps as well...

Here is an archive including my App Ticklish: Ticklish_AROS_1-1-7.lha

Any ideas, fix on Zune (?) are wellcome. Thankyou
