Hi,
i love my midis and so i tried to find a midi player for the gp32. but the only one i found was this lapolla player.it loads the midis, yes, but it takes much too long 'til they play!it sounds like crap, it's crackling.and yeah i got the version with timidity, and it's fuckin' crackling...isn't there any other possibility to play midis on the gamepark?i mean, it wouldn't be so hard work if some good proggers would just sit down for a while and code a midiplayer...
please, help me!i want shorter loadings and no crackling!

actually, it is very difficult, and requires alot of skill. If it is sooooooo easy, you do it.

Could you email it to me in 3 hrs?

kthnxbye

It's very hard to phrase a question properly on these boards, let me help him.

Hi,
I love my midis and so i tried to find a midi player for the gp32. (apart from capitalisation this is alright). But the only one I found was this lapolla player .It loads the midis, yes, but I'd rather they loaded a little faster. [-snip-]. Are there any other players I could use, or please could somebody tell me if any other midi players are planned.

Many Thanks,
Ryujin

oh, thats what he meant, well...sorry, im not sure if there any other midi players out there at the moment, but as someone else recommended earlier you could always try and use winamp or something to output to wav then convert to mp3. There are a couple of very good alternative music players, ogg and mp3.

hope that helps!

;)
 
Why don't you just convert the midis to mp3's??
Heres a free music converter with donloadable codecs and the like: www.dbpoweramp.com that should suffice.
Also don't be so demanding of the coders, they work their ass to bring us progs and we don't pay a dang thing for them. So in future when adresssin the coders/ programmers etc don't be so blunt.
Edit: heres a hyperlink to make life easier for you!!!www.dbpoweramp.com
 
the reason why there is only one midi player and this one takes ages to load is because the gp32 doesnt have this special midi music feature in hardware, like for example GBA.

I thought midi was supported, as Gamepark said so in the specs.
If thats not really true then thats not very nice...

A CPU could do lots of things, they could say it could run Windows but thats never gonna happen is it.

If you know any good hentai/nude/sex/porn-midis I just might write a midi player ;)
I say that without any ridicule, but you, sir, are a really poor guy ;) The feeling that I have to find some webspace for my horror novel arises again, just to make you feel better about yourself - and all the other people here really ;)

Oh, as for the original question, it has already been answered, so I'll repeat it again and say "convert it" ;)

If someone could make a GP32 version with this it might work...
Had a program called GMPlay on my Amiga worked great... not realtime rendering/playing of midi's but almost... the Amiga had 2 mb memory and 68030@40 Mhz processor... GP32 is 10 times faster... (processor side anyways)

Perhaps 10x faster, but the amiga had real audio hardware, on GP32 even the mixing is made by software.
