Additional Comments

You must set Windows version to 95 for Full Install with Yamaha. For a good Wine experience you shall: - install CDEmu (Ubuntu ppa: https://launchpad.net/~cdemu/+archive/ppa) - follow Official Patch 1.02, Aali OpenGL and TrueMotion 2.0 codec HOWTOs. Optionally you can use : - Timidity + pmidi to hear original Midi Music (I don't use that because the music I hear inter-cut) you can use my Spanish guide to install it: http://inukaze.wordpress.com/juegos-wine/final-fantasy-vii-7-pc/jwff7pc-05/ - FF7Music (Ficedula) with MP3 OST Remix (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IQOUEC33) - FF7Remix (includes Textures (chars, avatars, battle models of Cloud & Barret, Magics, World Map), FF7Music with MP3 Remix, New movies, etc.) Download: http://yama.mmowned.org/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remix_v2-5-1_Installer.exe (1.8 GB Full Installer) If your ff7.exe doesn't work make a backup first, and try to download my files from here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3164499/FF7PC/Copia%20de%20Seguridad/index.html

For users wanna try to use Timidity

You can apply the method describe in this Venezuelan blog (in Spanish) ->

https://inukaze.wordpress.com/juegos-wine/final-fantasy-vii-7-pc/jwff7pc-05/


On English :

now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/modules "

and add the lines

    #MIDI For FinalFantasy 7
    snd-seq-device
    snd-seq-midi
    snd-seq-oss
    snd-seq-midi-event
    snd-seq


if you dont have installed any soundfont , you can do the follow in a terminal

    sudo rm -rf /etc/sounds
    sudo mkdir /etc/sounds/
    sudo cp /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg /etc/timidity/timidity_original.cfg
    sudo cp /etc/init.d/timidity /etc/init.d/timidity_original
    cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/"/Final Fantasy VII/data/midi/sf2″
    sudo cp FF7.sf2 /etc/sounds
    sudo chmod 777 /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2
    sudo chmod o+rw+x /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2


now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg "

and just add the soundfonts and the config file

    soundfont /etc/sounds/FF7.sf2
    source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg


now edit with root permissions , the file
" /etc/default/timidity "

and modify the line " TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS "

For this one :

TIM_ALSASEQPARAMS="-iA -B5,10 -Os1l -s 44100"

if you dont have started the daemon for timidity or timidity binary , you can run it explicit with

$ timidity -iADl -Os1 - -module=16 -cache- -audio-buffer=200%

if you wanna you can install timidity like daemon for start with the boot

if see in FF7Config , using wine , in the music tab , something like
"14:0 Midi Trought" , and you see , dont play music , you can disabled temporally

you can check in a terminal with

    $ pmidi -l
     Port     Client name                       Port name
     14:0     Midi Through                      Midi Through Port-0


if you wanna delete it , in the same terminal with root permissions use

$ rmmod snd_seq_dummy

    $ pmidi -l
    Port     Client name                       Port name
    128:0     TiMidity                          TiMidity port 0
    128:1     TiMidity                          TiMidity port 1
    128:2     TiMidity                          TiMidity port 2
    128:3     TiMidity                          TiMidity port 3


and now you can set Timidity inside the game and hear the original music from the game
