Using a different midi patchset...

[Audio Snow]

I have a Sansa E260 with Rockbox, which I love (both E260 and Rockbox).

I also write songs, and I save them as MIDIs, so I was elated when MIDIPlay came out for the E200s.
The patchset from http://wam.umd.edu/~stevenm/patchset.tbz2 is good, but there are other patchsets I would like to try, such as http://freepats.opensrc.org/freepats-20060219.zip.

The Rockbox-endorsed patchset works fine, but MIDIPlay refuses to acknowledge the FreePats patchset. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, I looked into this a bit and the parser for the .cfg files in our midi plugin is not very good and seems to only have been used with the recomended patchset (so it has a lot of problems reading the cfg's in the freepat set). I'll try to fix this up sometime but don't hold your breath!

Just wondering if this was ever fixed.

If it were fixed, such a fix would be noted in the changelog.

Just wanted to let the curious know that I plan on improving the config file parser for the Midi player to be able to use other patchset files. Follow my progress on the flyspray page: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9856
