Improve the MIDI device selection.

As of now, the current one is horrible. Let's say I'm on fluidsynth, and want to change to OPL. This means I have to switch between a bunch, including the slow ones, like MS GS WS, LibADl, and libOPN, which is extremely annoying. A better way would be like the way it shows the MIDI device specific configs in GZDoom. Once you click on a specific MIDI device, it will start, rather than having to spam the mouse button and go through the slow ones mentioned earlier.


What I mean:

The current (and horrible) system: https://i.postimg.cc/XvCcZ7B3/Screensho ... 134859.png


What we can use in place of the old and horrible system: https://i.postimg.cc/Kjqgqd3J/Screensho ... 135119.png

Some modifications would be needed for this to work:

Allow the user to select any MIDI device, like the current system.
Make the title "MIDI Device" to not confuse users.


Edit:NO, I'm NOT on Windows 98. It's just a skin. I'm on W10.

Edit: In case y'all don't know what I mean, I mean to make the MIDI device scroll through list a menu, like the MIDI device config menu, whith the appropriate changes.

Necroing this suggestion because I wanted to post the exact same thing. A dynamic list menu like the soundfont selection would be much preferable to the current solution. It was fine years ago when there were by default only like four devices (MS GS, Timidity, GUS, OPL synth), but currently there's eight default ones on Windows, and that can easily grow on user's behalf.

Never expected this to come back.

And now it's changed to a submenu instead of a cycling option. Much better this way!

I agree
