[Bug 10791] New: RPG Maker XP 10.2a: Does not play Background Music (BGM) and Background Sounds (BGS)

Summary: RPG Maker XP 10.2a: Does not play Background Music (BGM) and Background Sounds (BGS) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.50. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hen.asraf@gmail.com

Background Music and Background Sounds cannot be played with Wine. It is possible to play them in your own media player and such, and then just choose to use the preferred file to be played when playing. It will play on Windows machines, only it won't under Wine. No errors occur, the sound simply does not play. Sound Effects (SE) and Music Effects (ME) do work. It might have something to do with the file type and media codec.

--- Comment #2 from Kelly Miller lightsolphoenix@gmail.com 2007-12-24 04:08:50 --- I can confirm this bug; the problem is that RPG Maker XP relies on DirectMusic's ability to play MIDI files (the old versions had a DLL for this, but IIRC this version does not).

--- Comment #3 from Kelly Miller lightsolphoenix@gmail.com 2008-05-09 03:57:39 --- More info from RPG Maker XP's site:

"MID MIDI files played via the DirectMusic Synthesizer. If a BGM MIDI file contains the control change value 111, that value is recognized as where the song will start repeating after it reaches the end."

It appears that the cause of the no music bug is the lack of support for the DirectMusic Synthesizer (which I believe is known, but doesn't have an official bug assigned to it). I'll create one if necessary.

BTW, the title of the bug should be changed; RMXP DOES play sounds; however, they have to be in Ogg format. I haven't tested MP3 or WMA, but I can confirm that Oggs work and MIDI's do not (due to the problem mentioned above). However, seeing as MP3 and WMA both rely on DirectMusic, there's a good chance they won't work either.

About sound : as Hen Asraf said, I turned on the emulation. However let winecfg open doesn't do anything. Are working : ogg, mp3 (with problems), wav (well) Are not working : midi, wma, flac (not detected by rpg maker xp) I used Media Convert to obtain wma ans wav music with the mp3 file used.

When playing wma file with RPG MAKER : err:quartz:GetClassMediaFile Media class not found

When starting a mp3 file : fixme:quartz:MediaPosition_put_Rate (0x1d8060)->(1.000000) stub!

And when stopping to read mp3 file : fixme:quartz:MediaPosition_get_CurrentPosition (0x1d8060)->(0x41394f0) stub!

--- Comment #7 from generalzarmakuizz@hotmail.fr 2009-06-19 07:57:42 --- This problem can be bypassed. You just have to convert the sound who have problems (midi, wma, mp3 ... ) into ogg, then remove the bad files (midi, wma, mp3). The game will select the file with the same name, so il will use the ogg file.

You can use for example timidity to convert all the music files (link in french) : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=100593

If you have a mysound.midi file, use a converter to create into the same folder a mysound.ogg, then remove mysound.midi, and start the game.

Can't we just use timidity as backend? It works fine for RM2k(3) games, so I think if we would add some hooks to directmusic to fool game that timidity is gm.dls and all midi music would go through it?

Oh, I just noticed a rather interesting idea. anyone have the most popular GUS patches used with Timidity++? I could use them to make a gm.dls file for the wine project.

Could you use NTONYX sound fonts instead? http://www.ntonyx.com/sf_f.htm . Though I dunno what with license if it allows it (you may want to mail them about it). Set is pretty complete, not like samples that are shipped with Timidity in most distros and I'm using it personally.

Then maybe we could rewrite in wine's dsound/dmusic routines responsible for playing MIDI so it would use soundfonts instead of dls file?

After all it's all just backend - games and midi apps won't care if the API (function names and parameters) would be same

--- Comment #17 from Mark Toman kram1024@hotmail.com 2011-12-03 18:09:06 CST --- that sounds like a better idea than a hijack of timitiy++, though some apps may explicitly look for gm.dls and then fail due to its non-existence. If you are going to go that route, first we will need to check to see if dsound is actually being used as well as dswave and dmusic, in the case of rpg maker xp and vx, then answer is yes, it uses the microsoft ds wavetable synthesizer directly via dmusic. We can then for those apps that complain, put in a fake gm.dls and have the synth redirect to the sf2 file. There are though times when the real gm.dls is needed, i.e. OpenMPT does not use dmusic directly, though it does use part of it to load gm.dls so that it can extract samples to make tracker modules when everything is installed as it is normally and that could cause problems.

There is yet another thing we can do. Make a tool for wine that can import a sf2 and recompile it as a dls file and auto-rename as gm.dls in the drive_c/windows/system32/drivers folder where directx on normal windows expects it to be from compatibility reasons, and that would make all apps happy.

adding stable download link via Internet Archive.

Old mirror links on original vendor site snapshot in 2007:

As expected almost all download links are broken (even archive.org) but I digged out a working one via tucows.com.

Download page with actual mirror links:

One-liner to extract the original mirror links from web page and use archive.org CDX/C API to query for any existing snapshots.
