Question Wine Error "Unable to locate MIDI device. Final Fantasy VII requires a Windows95-compliant MIDI device."


Hey guys, I'm trying to run Final Fantasy VII with Wine, but it gives me this error. I've tried switching Windows version to XP (low as it goes) all the way up to ten and it does not change. I think there might be a MIDI driver I have to install, but I don't know what it is. Can I get some help?

You might want to have a look at this page first.

https://wiki.winehq.org/MIDI

It outlines some of the requirements for using MIDI with wine.

Okay so I was able to solve the problem by plugging in my Samsung Galaxy S8 Active and setting my connection type as MIDI. It recognized the device and the game launches.
