Timidity MCD install (Minstaller).
Martin Iturbide:
Hi
I'm trying to install Timidity MCD, since I want MIDI emulation on MMOS2. I remember that I used it on the past.
It is installed with the Multimedia Installer, but on ArcaOS minstall (from Kiewitz) it is giving me an error.
"timidmcd.scr:6] String is too big.
Return-Code 8 (CID: Success, error (s) logged)
Is there something you suggest to change on timidmcd.scr ? Or any other way to get MIDI emulation on MMOS2 ?
Regards

Hi
I found a workarround for Minstall. I changed the sixth line of timidmcd.scr from
DrvVersionNumber = "2.10.4"
to
DrvVersionNumber = "2.10"
Now I have to remember how to configure Timidity with the GUS/patch thing.

Ohh
I'm going to try Alex's port, I forgot about that.

Hi
I had tried Alex Timidity without issues, but I need someway to have Timidity working on MMOS2.
Timidity MCD is producing me an error on the WPS, it seems that CW-MM tried to read the .mid file and crash the WPS everytime I show a window with a .mid file on it. I need to test it futher on some other VM to confirm it is a reproducible error. To revert that error, I just rename timidity.dll (from \MMOS2\DLL) to timidity.old.
I want to have MIDI support on MMOS2, because I want to try to get MIDI sound on solo old OS/2 games like Lemmings, Makman.

Hi Martin,
I saw your post and decided to try Timidity MCD but so far no luck playing any MIDI files. If I double click one, the WPS resets and if I right click one, then choose 'Player', the playing app starts, but hangs the WPS until I force kill the 'AB' process with Top.
The problem with CWMM can be dealt with by editing the OS2.INI 'CWMM' keyword 'mmCLSDontCheckDrives' to include the drive letter of the drive with the MIDI files on it.
Let us know if you get it going...
