Music
To get music you will need to install the timidity instruments by downloading timidity.tar.gz and either:
- Extract it to the root of your SD card.
or
- Extract it elsewhere on your SD card.
- Then copy timidity.cfg to the UFO directory and add this line at the start
dir /mnt/sd/path/to/timidity/
- where path/to/timidity/ is the path to the timidity directory on your SD card.
You can use different timidity instruments, but these were the only ones tested.
Configuration
The X-COM for GP2X supports multiple configuration files.
The configuration file to be used depends on the launch script.
Three launch scripts and configuration files are provided by default.
One is for F100 users or F200 users not wanting to use the touchscreen.
The other two are for left and right-handed F200 touchscreen users.
Some controls are not remappable.
See the files Ufo.cfg, Ufo_F200LH.cfg, and Ufo_F200RH.cfg for more details.
