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:


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.
