Title: Midis on your Mugen... Hope this enlighten you guys...
Post by: squallcolin on May 02, 2004, 09:34:31 AM

Hello, guys/gals! I guess many of you have problems playing Midis in mugen, right? I hope this might be able to help you.
I was playing Mugen without any sound at all when my PC first arrived at my home. This is the soundcard I was using:
"Sound Blaster Vibra 128".
I tried upgrading to a better sound card. So, I trade in my old sound card for a new:
"Sound Blaster Live Value"
I tried to play Mugen, expecting to hear sounds working, but alas, it didn't work....
I wanted to wait for the Windows version of Mugen at first, that was when Elecbyte stated that they were going to make a dating simulation game. (Like Tokimeki Memorial). I finally lost my perseverance. I wanted to play Mugen with sound now....
Then one day, I asked my friend to sell me his sound card which he was using. That soundcard was:
"Sound Blaster AWE64 Value" ISA sound card
Surprisingly, all the sounds and the Midi's work so well! Until today, I'm still using Sound Blaster AWE64 Value for playing DOS games. (I'm using Sound Blaster Live Value for Windows games though)
:nice:
Hope it helps you guys/gals out there!
^_^

Uses less CPU, less memory, among other things.

With Sound Blaster AWE64, the midi is not FM synth, but wavetable synthesis (even in DOS). So, the midi quality is higher. (Like real instruments playing.) Try it and see!

No worries about people griping about "copyrighted music" getting passed around (while you were on hiatus, Blackjack raised a minor stink about it :\ )
Also, it's easier for some people, given the size of a MIDI compared to an MP3.
when I was on hiatus ?
the size depend on how many stage you have...

In my opinion, it doesn't really matter what to prefer between midi and mp3. Both has its own advantages and disadvantages: midi has smaller size but lower quality while mp3 has bigger size but higher quality. It's not bad to use them both. But if there's some midi files that sounds like mp3 (with little difference), why not prefer those.

i've turned most my midi's into Mp3's by enhancing them with programs like fruity loops and reason3.0.
but for some reason i noticed that i cannot listen to midi's on foobar, windows media
player or any other sort of music program.
although this dosnt apply much to mugen. would anybody have a solution
for this other than sound card issues?
