MIDI files not playing on my Anbernic RG353PS handheld device
shaum257 opened this issue · comments
I downloaded Space Cadet Pinball directly on my Anbernic RG353PS handheld device using Portmaster. I then copied all the necessary assets and sound files to the "spacecadetpinball" folder. The game runs fine, but while the sound effects in wav format seem to work, the music in midi format does not. I have already tried enabling music from the menu settings but not even that solved the issue.
Btw I'm using JELOS as my handheld's OS.
The most likely cause for lack of music on Linux is missing MIDI sound font.
The game relies on OS for MIDI playback and does not come bundled with a sound font.
I don’t know about JELOS packages, on Debian I am using SF from timgm6mb-soundfont.
Thanks for replying. JELOS uses the AArch64 kernel. I can successfully SSH into JELOS but I don't know how to install the MIDI sound font on it, like I don't know what commands I should enter. If you have some knowledge about the AArch64 kernel, could you please tell me what commands I should enter to successfully install the missing MIDI sound font?
The kernel has nothing to do with software installation; it’s all about package manager.
You need to find out how to use JELOS package manager.
Then find and install MIDI playback library (SDL supports Fluidsynth and TiMidity) and a sound font for it.
I can’t help you with exact commands to achieve this because I don’t know how packages work in JELOS.
