I started up the game after bringing it over from my old HDD, so all has remained the same except for updating to v40 files as needed. The windows midi kicked in and reminded me that I'd forgotten to upgrade using Welgrim's MIDI files, so I did that exactly as I had done on the previous PC.

Now I have no music at all. I don't have a sound card or anything, just using board sound drivers (MSI M5 gaming board) which is more than adequate these days.

Anyone know if the AWE32 ROM dump is even compatible with Win10?

UPDATE: Well now I've completely killed midi functionality on the PC. It seems that after running BASSMIDI and using this soundbank, it has either overwritten or deleted the one it replaced. Uninstalling BASSMIDI did not restore it either...

Does anyone know how to get THAT sound file back?! Cruddy music is better than no music.
Bassmidi won't work with anything after Win 7 as far as I know because midi mapper has been removed. I linked to VirtualMidiSynth a couple years ago a few pages back. That will work and still does. I just decided to maybe play a little bit and it works. I'm using a different soundfont though than most others as well. You have to disable "Increase Process Priority to REALTIME" in virtualmidisynth options or it won't work from my experience.
VirtualMidiSynth
Soundfont I use: FluidR3_GM.sfArk
Needed to decompress that font: sfark
