Midi

Cyberience

Anyone have a solution to play midi files in Gideros? or this a possible hole that could be filled?

@Cyberience most probably there is no usable crossplatform solution right now.

Do you need to simply play midi, or dynamically generate ones?

Cyberience mobile in general cannot really play midi, midi files rely on the "soundcard" instruments, and many phones still don't provide all of them (they used to provide a reduced set used by non-smartphone ringtones).

The only way to play midi, is write a player yourself (ie: parse the file yourself, and play the instruments yourself)

@Cyberience - just use a thrid party midi to mp3 and include that in your game.

Which leads me to my follow on, is it worth making a midi player, so others can play midi in game, the old days on Vic 20 or Dragon Computers, you had MOD and Midi files small, and could play awsome music.

Not until the latency issue with audio has been fixed...
