If you want sound effects, you're looking in the wrong place. Wav files are what you need.

What do you want? If you want voice effects I highly suspect that the files in question were not midi files.

That you cannot get midi files like the kind you want.

May I ask how he didn't help you?

You asked "exactly what a midi is" and where you can find midis.

It's a type of music file. It is distinct from other kinds of audio in that it does not actually contain audio data, but a sequence of commands which the computer's audio hardware must interpret. Think of it like sheet music that the computer must read as opposed to specific sound information. On the plus side, this makes midi files much smaller than other types of audio file, typically a tenth of a megabyte in size. The downsides are that midi files can only play notes with a hundred or so instruments and cannot contain any complex sound. It would be impossible, for example, to render speech in midi like you want. Additionally, since the computer must interpret the midi sequences itself, the songs can sound vastly different depending on what machine you're playing them on.

If you want sound effects, you're looking in the wrong place. Wav files are what you need.

But http://www.vgmusic.com/ has a ton of midi versions of songs from commercial video games. And of course, there are plenty of midi files in Charas' own complete resources section.

Red's post included both those things.
He even explained to you that SOUND EFFECTS are in WAV and not MIDI,
DIGITAL MUSIC is MIDI. Not WAV.

If you want sound effects: you need to look for WAV files.
If you want music: you look for MIDI.
You're friend could've recorded the sound of a playing MEGAMAN game or whatever.
But that would be all the sound in the entire game at once. Background music, sound effects. voices. You name it. A mess of sounds. possible recorded as MIDI. But my bet is on WAV there as well.

That bleach game is for DS right?
So you need to find the voices of the DS games. I'm not even sure they have a format of their own but asking about midis won't get you the voices you need.
And why didn't you go to the site your friend was at?

Also if sprite database doesn't have the things your looking for try riping them from the game. Which is basicly what Prpl said. They do have Ds emulators right? Also, try not to act like a $*% to people cause otherwise they won't help you at all which is what is happening right now.

You're quite wrong there, Myownpath, people actually did help him by explaining it and all. And I don't know why they bothered helping him, to be honest... I guess they're just a bunch of good guys, helping people even if they get insulted for trying.

Quite the opposite of the requester.

You contradicted yourself

I consider the term "lame" to be very insulting indeed

I was also abused with douche bags, and am slightly retarded

You only have yourself to blame.
Your attitude is at the bottom of a snake-filled pit.
Try to shape up and act mature instead of spewing insults all over the place like a-12year old playing CS.

Your request was answered on the first page as soon as Red Giant made his post.
And you seemed to have been insulted as Red Giant questioned your reading abilities by asking if you had ADHD.
Lonewolf got dystelexia, we don't blame him for that. At least he's not letting it be an excuse for bad behaviour.
But after that question, you started calling him a retard and claiming that he was starting drama.
A simple question is not drama when the receiver of the question didn't seem to get what he had written in his post.
Red Giant explained everything in detail, everything your request was about and a little bit more.
But for some reason you didn't seem to care about that but instead went on by talking about your buddy.
It's like if you were denying the very fact that MIDI is music files and not sound effects.
And once he stated that, he also wanted to make sure that you didn't have any reading&learning difficulties to make sure that he wouldn't have to write the thing again but in simpler context.

-----=====================-----
I suggest a thread lock here.
The request have been answered a page back. All that remains is stupid arguments.

Maybe were your from but here its pretty rude and insulting to ask someone if they have adhd  and suppose i had adhd that would have been a offending comment but in the since i dont have adhd it still an insult because he basically called me a retard because i didnt know something about something im new at and as for whoever you said had dystelexia what about it where does that even come to play here and how can you even act like your being mature this entire forum section is immature were arguing over the internet you Prpl are very immature for the simple fact that you care so much about this arguement that had nothing to do with you til you brought yourself into it and half of you had nothing to do with this at all if anything it was between me and red which im sure he notices this even why anyone else even came into this is beyond me

Your stupidity is baffling.  You keep jumping between claiming you've insulted no one and calling everyone on the site idiots like a scared rat.  Hell, minding how many other cliches of the idiot on the internet, I'm surprised you haven't excused your behavior with "I'M ONLY ___ YEARS OLD THOUGH".  For the sake of EVERYONE on the site, please just get out and never look back, I beg that of you.

I've come to realize charas is like a nest of killer bees. A person shouldn't go throwing stones at a killer bee's nest.
