///// GameMusicGear Frequently Asked Questions and Issues

Note: Some input plugins needs additional files to work.
	Please read the plugin.readme file first if you have
	problems with some plugin.

1. The app starts fine but the controls don't respond.
	
	I have only tested the app with a few and one of the latest 
	firmwares, (4.90, 5.01) if you have this problem, please let 
	me know wich firmware you are using.
	
1. The app starts but just with an empty list.
	
	Since version 1.0 the app has an independent browser wich is 
	accessed by pressing the square button.
	
2. Why does some songs turn black when i try to play them?.

	There may be two reasons for this to happen.  
	First the input plugin may had been unable to open the requested 
	song.  If this happens a zero or negative error code will be 
	reported in the app's log file.
	
	Second the song may have an unsupported sampling frequency. 
	Since version 1.1 the most common sampling rates are supported 
	so this will unlikely happen.

	Note: The default mp3 plugin is in_mp3, which is based on the pspsdk's
	      mp3 library and needs less cpu than the mad plugin.  But for some
	      reason it can't handle 48khz songs (?) so if you want to enable
	      the mad plugin just remove the in_mp3.plugin file and rename
	      in_mad.plugin.bak to in_mad.plugin.
		
4.  The song plays faster or slower than on pc. Why?
	
	Since version 1.1 GameMusicGear supports sampling rates from
	8000 to 48000 hz. so if the song has a sampling rate out of that
	range it will play wrong.
	
5.  I'm trying to play a midi but the app crashes, or the song just turns
	black.

	There may be two reasons for this:
	First the plugin didn't found the timidity config file (timidity.cfg) and a set
	of gus patches (instruments).  If this is the case the plugin will report 
	and error code of -1 or 0 in the log file. Please be sure that you 
	have installed those files in the default path (ms0:/.gmgear) for extra
	files.
	
	You can change the path were in_midi looks for timidity.cfg
	by opening the in_midi.plugin file and changing the 'config_path' 
	setting.
	
	And second, some midis require a *LOT* of instruments to play, so
	there might not be enough memory to handle them.  For now the
	app will likely just exit.

6.  The app crashes if i do this ...

	If you find something that makes the app crash please let me know and
	i will fix it :).
