Subject: doom music and opl3 emulation

Message-ID: <ED08BA111D95884B5E26E9A642F9872C@wopr.sciops.net> (raw)
Hello,
I've been working on a MIDI player which supports GENMIDI lumps in doom wad
files. These are instrument banks used with OPL2-compatible sound cards.
The end result is a fairly good approximation of what doom sounds like on DOS
with such a sound card.
To try it out:
- grab dmid, opl3 and rc/dmus from my contrib
- install the dmus script so it's accessible as /bin/dmus
- cd dmid; mk dmid.install
- cd opl3; mk install
- mount the doom wad you'll play using wadfs, for example:
games/wadfs /sys/games/lib/doom/doom2.wad
- launch games/doom with the same wad
Wadfs is required to access the wad's GENMIDI (it will be accessible as
/mnt/wad/genmidi by default). Dmid uses GENMIDI to convert a MIDI file into
OPL3 instructions; opl3 then synthesizes pcm audio. If the dmus script
exists, it is launched by doom to play a music lump, and it writes raw
audio to its stdout.
I'm not sure these belong in 9front, since all three components are required,
it's a bunch of code, and they don't yet have a use outside of doom music.
Anyway, enjoy,
qwx
