Music from Lemmings for Windows 95

[gag2000]

Hi everyone,

I've been playing Lemmings for Windows 95 for many years now – and even today I'm still playing it on Windows 11. It's a true classic for me and I really love the original Windows 95 version, especially the music.

Recently, I started looking for an alternative and came across the Java-based Lemmini versions. They are pretty good and I appreciate the effort behind them. However, I noticed that they use the DOS version music, which sounds different (and honestly a bit strange) compared to the Windows 95 soundtrack.

I tried to replace the music files with the ones from the Windows 95 version, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.

Does anyone know if there is a newer version of Lemmini (or another engine) that supports or already includes the original Windows 95 music? I would really love to play with that specific soundtrack.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, welcome to the Forums!

We can get the Win95 Lemmings music working in RetroLemmini for sure. Try this:

1) In your RetroLemmini directory, go to resources/levels/1_orig and replace the levelpack.ini file there with the one attached to this post.
2) Make sure that the .MID music files from your copy of WinLemm95 are in resources/music. You can find them in WINLEMM/MUSIC.

That should do it. Note that some of the tunes don't have Win95 replacements so they'll play the DOS/Amiga version as normal.

If that doesn't work, report back here and we can try something else.

Hello, thank you for your help.

I will be away for 10 days and after that I will be able to try your solution and let you know.

But I'm sure it will work.
