After a great deal of searching, I have found what seems to be a solution to the classic music problem. EQ shipped, as most of you know, with a pair of soundfonts to be used with older soundfont capable MIDI synths in older cards (AWE32/64, etc). Someone has taken these two soundfonts and combined them (they are not "complete" as they are, some instruments do not work) with a generic soundfont to produce one that sounds pretty similar to how it did in 99 (making your own soundfont using the two that shipped with EQ and, say, the base sondfont from a SB AWE64 might be a better solution). Anyway to get it to work with Windows (which is not natively compatible with soundfonts) you need a soundfont capable MIDI device. The software synth "BASSMIDI" can accomplish this.

Go here: http://bassmididrv.mudlord.info/#bas...riverdownloads
Click "Download BASSMIDI driver"
Install it.
It will put a program in your start menu called "Configure Software Synth" under "BASSMIDI Synth"
Download this soundfont (or make one): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G8WFWXUA
In the "Configure Software Synth" tool click "Add" then navigate to the soundfont and select it
Make sure that "BASSMIDI Driver" is selected under the "Advanced" tab (i.e., not "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth"

You should be set. I forgot if it required a reboot, but run EQ and see how it sounds.
This advanced tab is located where? (windows 7) So trying to make this sound better =) Thanks for all the nastalgia =)
