Making the Most out of the MIDI Music Option in SRB2/Installing an SF2 - How to use an SF2 and/or MIDI music

This will work with any version of SRB2.

To start, we need a SoundFont (SF2), like this : Link

A good place to find SF2s is this site : Musical Artifacts

METHOD 1: After downloading that, Copy/Paste it into the folder that you installed SRB2 in, open up SRB2, open the menu, go to Options, Sound Options, turn MIDI music ON (if it isn't already)...

Could you send me a screenshot of the "Advanced Options..." menu and the "sf2" folder? I'd like to see it for myself.
 
Might be accidentally bumping an old post, but the subreddit you linked to for the high quality microsoft midi soundfont has been privated, so you should probably just directly link to the soundfont itself. (https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/713)
Ended up seeing this late, but now it doesn't matter. It's not technically high quality, but it sounds a little better than when modern Windows tries to play the original DLS. Unfortunately, though, a couple instruments are off-tune, which I've been wanting to fix myself. Btw though, both SF2s are identical according to WinMerge, so that's a good backup link.

EDIT: Took me a bit less than an hour to find the culprit (Star Theme) and fix it in Polyphone. If anyone's interested, here it is: https://files.gamebanana.com/bitpit/gmfixed.sf2
