Ah, so it isn't a true borderless window. Since the "borderless" resolution does not differ from the actual windowed resolution, it probably doesn't generate the issue. Damn.

I tried SmartContextMenu (along with every other borderless tool under the sun) and I was unable to fix the issue when going for a true borderless experience.

All utilities will show a similar behaviour. These are all workarounds for an application that fails to generate borderless windows natively. Combine borderless with resize and it works fine, the only annoyance being that you need to repeat the process whenever you log into another account.

4. MDI tuning - make the music sounds the way it was intended

Downloads:

• AWE32 ROM Dump SoundFont: https://p99.yourfirefly.com/downloads/1mgm.sf2
• BASSMIDI Driver: https://p99.yourfirefly.com/downloads/bassmididrv.exe
• CoolSoft MIDI Mapper: https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/d...pper_2.1.2.exe

AWE32 ROM Dump SoundFont

1. Create the folder “C:\Apps\EQP99\AWE”
2. Copy the file “1mgm.sf2” to “C:\Apps\EQP99\AWE”

BASSMIDI Driver

1. Install the BASSMIDI Driver.
2. Start the “BASSMIDI Driver Configuration” app.
3. Click on ‘Add’ and add “1mgm.sf2” from “C:\Apps\EQP99\AWE” under SoundFonts Port A.
4. Click Apply and close this app.

CoolSoft MIDI Mapper

1. Install the CoolSoft MIDI Mapper.
2. Start the “MIDIMapper Configurator” app.
3. Select “BASSMIDI Driver (port A)” as the default MIDI device.
4. Click Apply and OK, then close the app.

Done.

The Music now sounds like it did on release.

For some reason this doesn't work anymore, at least for me (on windows 10). When logging into server, an error pops up from Coolsoft midimapper saying can't open target device, and then there's no music at all. Even after uninstalling everything (Midimapper, Bassmidi driver), there's still no music.

What fixed it was using a different program and sound font. I'll include below what worked for me, and it sounds great. Super easy to do.

Quick how to for guildies:

1. download and install this: https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth (click download on top and choose version)


2. Go here: https://archive.org/download/free-so...ts-sf2-2019-04 and download Merlin_GMV32

3. run virtualMIDISynth (the one you installed at 1.), click on the "+" symbol and choose the "Merlin_GMV32" you just downloaded, click on "Apply" - start eq and enjoy improved music

The visual improvements though look great. Noticeable improvement with the HD textures.
