It doesn't seem to work well with doesmu's midi stuff. When I tried to test the midi settings within the tie fighter installer, the dosemu-midi file was created but was size zero. When I tried to play with megamid, things worked as you said. Now a have a symlink from dosemu-midi to /dev/amidi, and megamid will play midi files happily from within dosemu. I guess Tie Fighter does something that is incompatable with dosemu's midi support. Digital sound is pretty choppy too when I play the game unless I set the resolution to 320x240. I guess an Athlon XP 2000 can't quite emulate an early Pentium. Doh. Mark Mark
