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.

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:



I am attaching the prepared file.

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!

@AMIGASYSTEM

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

(Upon checking I also must say that playing on EasyRPG specifically should still work. It provides a default font which has to be changed by hand if you want a different one, as it seems.)

(FreeType seems to support .fon files, BTW.)

Yeah, I know that. I was wondering if it could actually deal with them since it appeared to recognize and even "install" them. There should be a way to get the .FNT files out, right?

The fonts you sent me are not standard fonts, they are Windows executables (MZ).

Solution: in EasyRPG, choose other fonts, or search the web for equivalent but standard fonts!

On AROS One delete those fonts from the Fonts folder.

Where can I preview them? In any case, send me the fonts and I'll run some tests!

Issue fixed by total re-install. If it happens again, I'll mention it here.

Oh hey, OWB actually worked this time. The problem wasn't with the fonts, then... Something likely got messed up when my S folder got removed. I can still send them (they don't really display correctly when you try to preview them, as it seems, but they are required to run the game as far as I know).

There shouldn't be any problems, unless the fonts you add have compatibility issues.
Send me the fonts in a PM so I can run some tests too!

I propose some testing. I keep my data backed up to a separate drive, so that's no problem. I'll reinstall AROS One, run OWB, close it, install new fonts, reboot, and run OWB again. If it doesn't launch, there's the problem.

Hello. Folder was replaced. No effect. The System Monitor twitches for a bit, presumably refreshing, but OWB doesn't load.

I'll try that.
No. I will keep using 32-bit for now.

Try deleting/replacing the OWB folder with the one from the ISO!

Question, have you installed update 1.1?

AMIGASYSTEM, AmiTube works just fine. I did try waiting for a reasonable amount of time, but nothing happened. I even ran the font downloader. (Does it do the same thing as what happens on the initial startup?)
Jeff1138, yes. That's how I connect it to the Internet — I tether my phone.

Hi,

FancyPlanet, if it is the T60 the ethernet may still have no support.

Do you have access to mobile usb tethering?

FancyPlanet, are you sure your network is working? AmiTube, is it working?

If you have modified or replaced the fonts, as happens when you run it for the first time, you must wait for the fonts to be downloaded and installed.

Hello. OWB does not launch.
I didn't do anything to it. I don't remember if it worked after I restored the S folder or not (this is mentioned previously in the thread) because I had to "leave the machine alone" for a bit. The version on the live USB also does not run. There is a brief freeze (as there always is whenever I launch it), but nothing happens after. This behavior persists even after rebooting.
Outside of the S folder restoration, my most recent "system modification" was installing additional fonts to run a game.
What could cause this behavior?
I did run the clean-up present in its directory, but only after it refused to start.
