Help with DOS and Midilink

Hello all,

I am not sure what I am missing here but when I go into UART Mode -> MIDI I have no option for TCP Remote. only local and UDP. I have looked into the file /media/fat/linux/MidiLink.INI but can see nothing odd also I am on the latest everything but still stumped. by the ways I really want to get one my old terminal Applications running as I have been running a virtual BBS for few years now on world-group and tcp connection to a majorbbs with 100s of door games to play and about 500 members. feel free to check it out if you want to relive some old BBS games or play some majormud.

Hello,

I got this working if anyone else has this issue by patching the image from this thread patch file linux_img_update.tar.gz. now I can see the remote menus and everything is working.

Hello,
I have a problem with midilink and munt : I get no sound.
I have launched the midilink script to update.
then I launch monkey island 2 with option r (for the roland).

UART MODE is set to:
Connection : midi
midilink: local
Type:Munt
Baud:31250

If I set Type to FSYNTH/SC55 & Reset UART then I get the music, but if I rollback to Munt, I still get no music.

Did you install the CM-32L or MT-32 ROMS?

there should be a soundfont_installer.sh you can run.

they should reside in /media/fat/linux/mt32-rom-data

to see why MUNT is failing you can start MidiLink manually via SSH:

Code: Select all

#uartmode 0
#midilink MUNT

Thanks for the answer.
The MT32 roms are downloaded by the script and in the directory.

I'm not sure what happened.

Make sure you have mt32d in /sbin

Now I remember, I had helped someone with this (or something similar) before and they had a mt32d.old in /sbin/ but no mt32d

You really don't need to run that updater script, as the SD image has the most current MidiLink, so if all else fails, just replace /media/fat/linux.img with the one from the SD installer program, but it seems like you understand the shell enough that you'll get it going without resorting to that...

The script is more for people helping me test new features.

Also, for Monkey Island, if you have tempo issues, you can use a MT-32 soundfont (with FSYNTH) as that game uses the default MT-32 soundbank.

Good luck!

What hapenned is that I though I needed to use the update script to install midilink

so before trying to use it I have updated. I read that somewhere that at least I needed to run the update once. (maybe because it install mt32 roms? I don't know)

maybe /sbin/fluidsynth or your soundfont is corrupted...

try and start fluidsynth manually to see if that offers any clues:

Code: Select all

#fluidsynth -is -a alsa -m alsa_seq /media/fat/linux/soundfonts/SC-55.sf2

yep, the SC-55.sf2 size was 0Ko. I don't know why because at a time it was working

Thanks
