Best soundfont for Doom?

[Csonicgo]

That's it. OPL synth for midis would be great, Randy, can we have that please?

Problem 2: My computer doesn't have the ISA port to install this old soundcard. What now?

Solution 1: Use an old computer for oldskooling.
Solution 2: Emulate. Use DOSBox or something.

1: Don't have an old computer handy that can run half this stuff.
2: DOSBox doesn't work with Windows games.

My purpose here is to get OPL-style MIDI working in games like Fire Fight, Sim City 2000, 3D Ultra Pinball and the like.

Cacodemon hiss and death sound is my favourite doom sounds

2: DOSBox doesn't work with Windows games.

DOSBox runs all Windows versions up to 95C IIRC.

This patch set is pretty good. One problem: The marching footsteps on level 31 use some instrument that doesn't sound like footsteps. Aside from that, Awesome

I think they had a similar problem with this with one of the console Wolfenstein ports--either the SNES, or more likely, Jaguar. Bobby Prince was just going to transfer the MIDI files over raw, but the console's instrument didn't sound like footsteps (like here) so he had to use something different.

The footsteps were actually "Gunshot". This worked in the OPL2/3 world, and would have worked in the SNES or Jaguar ports also if there was a sample for it. Writing a Software Midi synth for Doom on either console wouldn't break Doom's Music, as it is the Samples in this case that would determine the music's quality. Perhaps the accuracy of the Midi playpack would factor in here too, but I doubt it.

Guess who found two sets of OPL drum soundfonts?

[Bashe]

OH, OH OH OH I KNOW THIS

IS IT GEORGE WASHINGTON!?

YEAH

I tried to get crisis 1.8 and fluid RC3 to work with timidity but it don't work on windows.

[phi108]

I got the soundfonts PC51d.SF2 and Unison.SF2 to work with timidity and zdoom on Vista.

I got them from http://www.personalcopy.com/

It has a bunch of soundfonts, in the "big soundfonts" section

good but I finally get crisis to work I don't know if Crisis 3.0 is really better than 1.8 because It's 1.5 GB of files to download.

How do you set up the timidity.cfg to work with .sfArk soundfonts?

[Skunk]

AFAIK you can't. They must be decompressed from SFARK to SF2.

How do I set up an .SF2 to be used on timidity?
