I swear, it must have something a little to do with Timidity and the huge_pats, too. I never really noticed this issue too much, either, but Kaldarasha was the one that pointed it out. If you start looking into the recent Timidity thread and the whats up with the sound thread, you'll maybe see what we're talking about, but it's a bit shadowy at the moment. With latest Timidity I linked to working right with MIDI Yoke (very important), and sound levels adjusted in windows mixer... the sound effects start to do weird things... until you just to a base install no bootleg, then it sounds great. What did you do to the INI file? never woulda thought to look there. I'm all over it, next week.
Anyway, the MIDI files play fine but they restart after every battle, which isn't right, and theres a funny error in the APP.log at the MIDI initialization about volume changing not being supported. THAT has nothing to do with bootleg, I just want you to fix it for me lol
Edit: OK, it's nothing to do with bootleg at all; Timidity synth can't be running while you use ff7Music.
