@theDarky sudo growpart /dev/mmcblk0 2; sudo resize_rootfs

It should happen automatically at first boot, but there was a bug in recent images (fixes incoming).

If you reflashed it by yourself, you may also want to run `sudo cryptsetup reencrypt /dev/mmcblk0p2` before resizing (you can do it afterwards too, but it will take more time).

Just flashed my phone with an OS image that was created on the same phone a few minutes earlier 😜 It works! #librem5

@terry Looks like the issue is not about MIDI support in general like that article makes it seem, but with the API GameMaker used (DirectMusic) having a very incomplete implementation in Wine. May still be possible to get it to work via native Windows dlls.

Other than that, it needs timidity and a soundfont to be installed on Deck and running in ALSA sequencer mode. I just tested MIDI in a TGF game and it works on Deck after doing that. So it's just DirectMusic that still needs to be tackled.

@terry Not with this game (yet!), but yes, I had MIDI working under Wine, which was actually just a matter of having alsaseq working. It's likely that you'll have to install some stuff on Deck to make it work there, but in the past SteamOS devs were responsive to my requests to add things that help games work well, so getting it to work out-of-box is not outside the realm of possibility ;)

@terry @maddy This page mentions that installing Windows is not necessary: https://www.thegamebinc.com/blog/launching-the-an-untitled-story-restoration-project

It says that MIDI isn't supported "on non-Windows platforms", but that's absolutely not true - I even had it working under Wine with my own ancient TGF games, it just needs to be configured correctly in ALSA. I may take a look at that later.

@MirceaKitsune Kitty stays on the radiator and doesn't plan to move, I'm afraid ;)

Audio over DisplayPort over USB-C, coming soon to a #Librem5 near you.

@dan @misty > And surely not all that difficult to implement.

Haha. Famous last words ;)

@glassbottommeg It doesn't do that on my PC, but does on Deck. I guess that's just a bug in the version used by SteamOS.

Grabbed my old jailbroken Kindle reader to hack on it a bit, sshed into it, searched the Web for clues on how to use some of its stuff and ended up learning from forum posts made by 10 years younger myself.

@Pingu @garrett The last in-person CCC happened in 2019.
