@kelvfimer said in Playing X68000 games with MIDI music:
My point is how to set up that timidity.cfg and sd.cfg what's the way to tune it etc.
As I've written before: The only (uncommented) line in my timidity.cfg is:
soundfont "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/SC55.sf2"
I have no SC55.cfg of any kind. Maybe my midi output is not configured correctly, but I can hear midi music in several x68000 and pc98 games. They seem so sound correctly, but indeed I also have a slightly irregular midi output (it sometimes slows down for some notes).
The only real problem I have are buffer underrun errors in the logs. I'm not sure if that corresponds to the timing issues, but it might.
I'm not sure how to get rid of them, but I would think that the midi daemons have to run in or close to real time.
