You can do some of the workarounds I did at first personally on particular tracks I really liked.

Just find a good sample of track emulating an awe32 or roland or even an old SB , Adlib or Pro Audio Spectrum you enjoy and then turn it into an .mp3 file.

But then when deciding to use my Linux installation as my main gaming platform for P99 (it runs so much better there) I did something different.

I just removed most of the mp3s that come with titanium and replaced them with the original mid files and decided to use the closest I could find replica of the awe 32 soundfont.

The game can read the mid files over the mp3 ones. I will try to dig my old thread in Support where I explained how to not repeat myself needlessly.


Since hearing is such a selective method, the closest you can get is finding amongst the myriad awe32 soundfonts on the net one that matches your expectations.

Here is my old Midi Thread, though it relies on Linux it is actually quite easy to understand the basics

The reason I find Lubuntu and Linux superior to dedicate a whole partition of it to play P99 is that it actually emulates the windows of the time much better, and this includes audio.

Again it might be a bit extreme, but you can always opt to just grab some of the myriad resamples of eq classical music through emulators and even through the real sound cards of the time and turn it into an mp3.

If you want to experiment a bit I heartily recommend MUNT if you are on PC/Windows...

Munt Emulates roland and many other mid devices of the time.

Not everything has to have an AWE 32 soundfont, and sometimes certain games sound better or you might enjoy some sounds more if they come through a roland soundfont.

There are many options regarding music , hope this helps you a bit.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
