Does a Roland SC-55 .sf2 with full GS compatibility exist or is Fluidsynth a nigger?
The supposedly "definitive" trevor0402 .sf2 doesn't fly so good when I emulate 悪魔城ドラキュラ for the X68000 on Faggotarch with GS music enabled, the first stage BGM sounds like ass and Qsynth standalone Fluidsynth doesn't work on my machine for some reason throws a shitload of

I've tried a bunch of older SC-55 .sf2s as well with similar results, fags on Vogons and various Doot forums seem fine with them because muh GM but it seems noone plays Nipponese GS vidya.
Granted 悪魔城ドラキュラ's FM synth is probably capable of impaling Turks under the right circumstances but the later stages' midi BGMs in particular make great use of pipe organ samples and reverb effects, it'd be nice if they didn't have retarded hiccups or missing instruments while doing so.
gm.dls from Win98 converted to .sf2 perplexingly enough plays all instruments back correctly, but it sounds like ass because it's the default Wangblows midi font.
