    Arrow ZQuest Music

    I pretty new to the Zelda Classic world and was wondering if now or in the future there will be a way to use the whole of a Midi song rather than having it cut down by ZC?

    The whole song should play by default. But, it won't LOOP by default. That you need to fix yourself. If you need help on that I'll tell you how.

    How long is your midi that it keeps getting cut off?
    First you should check to make sure the loop start and loop end values for the midi are set to -1. It is possible that the whole midi is in there but the loop values are preventing you from hearing the whole thing.

    edit:
    Actually supertails it does loop by default. Otherwise it wouldn't work too well as a background theme.

    Never had one cut off on me...
    Are you sure you're not thinking of when you play a quest's midi from the misc. menu when you're playing a quest?

    I should apologise....

    sorry you've all kinda taken my question the wrong way. When you place a song into ZQuest it cuts down the instruments sounds so you only hear about 4 or 5 (nothing to do with it looping, sorry) putting the song into 6 bit, 8 bit or whatever it is. What I wanted to know was if it is going to be made so the music sounds better rather than having tunes that sound similar to the NES ones?

    I know whatya mean, the sound quality is reduced yeah.
    Well, In the new windows betas (quest contestants and beta testers only I'm afraid) this seems to have been cleared up, and midis sound near perfect.

    If possible, go into agsetup.exe and set the midi drivers to "MPU-401". The default, autodetect, likes to use Adlib, which simply sounds horrible.
