About:
None of the copies of 3D Ultra Mini Golf's music I could find on YouTube were using Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. This soundfont was the default on Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP if you didn't have a dedicated sound card with its own MIDI module. As a result, if you're like me and didn't play this game till the late 90s or later, the other YouTube uploads of this soundtrack with different soundfonts might sound off to you because you were probably hearing this version.

The MIDI files were recorded directly from the 3.5 mm audio jack of a Compaq Presario C301NR laptop running Windows XP using Windows Media Player 9 to play the MIDI files, because that was seriously the only way I could get this to playback properly in the right sound font. The Windows XP virtual machine I set up played back the first few notes of the MIDI at a slower tempo than normal, and attempting to use VirtualMIDISynth with the gm.sf2 soundfont (which is apparently the same as Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth) led to certain instrument channels being much louder than expected. The final track on this video Intermission (which plays during the leaderboard intermissions) is PCM instead of MIDI, and is instead recorded via my modern desktop using Audacity's WASAPI recording feature, allowing it to record desktop audio easily.

As a side note, trying to boot up Windows XP on the laptop proved to be an exercise in itself. The SSD boot drive has both XP and Xubuntu installed, but in order to boot one or the other, I need to switch SATA on or off in the BIOS, (off for XP, on for Xubuntu) because Windows XP doesn't include SATA support. You can integrate it into the install media somehow, but I didn't bother whenever it was I set up this laptop's current installation.
