I tried the datatypes for 32-bit, they work well

.

Midi datatype or just 32bit Datatypes in general.

Do we have a midi datatype descriptor in Devs/Datatypes?

If not we'll need to make one.

After I.A. converted the source code from AMiGA MIDI datatypes to AROS MIDI datatypes and fixed numerous errors, I compiled Su AROS One 64-bit Native with GCC without any errors. Now I'm not sure if the MIDI datatype was converted correctly by I.A.

@AMIGASYSTEM

Could you please post your WildMidi source code including the GUI so I can see how it plays midi files for comparison with the midi datatype.

Also, I'll compile midi datatype on my system then test it to see if I get any errors.

I'm going to order some SSD adapters so I can setup AROS 32bit and 64bit test systems on real hardware. Testing Datatypes for example is much better on real hardware which seems more responsive in my opinion compared to a virtual machine in VirtualBox.

I'm not sure if WildMidi supports MIDI data types; with WildMidi, I play MIDI files using Timidity (Software Musical Instruments).
WildMidi also converts MIDI files to audio files.

If you want to run some tests, do them directly with WildMidi; the GUI might skew the results.
You can find the latest version of WildMidi, v0.4.6, on Arosarchive; I compiled it a few weeks ago.

I've been doing some compiling and testing for Datatypes over the last several days. I've made progress! ;-)

Here are some screenshots from my latest efforts at writing, compiling & testing new Datatypes.

These screenshots are compiling & testing the current release candidate for the new Targa Datatype. It has taken a couple years to get here!

Here is the current release candidate for the new Targa Datatype.

The archive contains the datatype & descriptor compiled for AROS x86.

The build system files are the source code. Copy the Tga folder & it's contents to Workbench-Classes-Datatypes then compile for x86 or you may try to compile x86-64.

This is a more fully featured Targa datatype than the one in Contrib. It allows loading & saving 8,16,24,32bit images. Run Length Encoding works also. Better yet it's an AROS datatype! So it can be placed in our source code for all to enjoy. :-)

In a few days I'll post it to AROS Archives if all goes well. Please report to me any errors or issues.

Thanks for your patience. ;-)

For my next datatype projects I'm looking into MIDI Datatype, MP3 Datatype and revising my PCX Datatype. I've started JNG, MNG.

In the process of rewriting my PCX Datatype I plan to write an instructional PDF about writing Picture Datatypes. Later I may expand to Sound & Text Datatypes.

why datatypes are not in aros official repository?

Some Datatypes, and other software have copyrights from other developers not AROS Development Team. So their source code is located in Contrib not Main.
