I'm programming a Cave Story related game in Java and I noticed that on my computer, playing the midi music files using winamp makes the percussion tracks not work (i.e. it just comes out as random piano notes) but when I write a Java program to play the midi files, the percussion works fine. I really only care about whether or not it works with the Java program. It does on my computer, but I want to make sure it works on other people's computers too. If it doesn't, I'd much rather find out NOW than after I've already written a few thousand lines of code for the game.
I'm also want to make sure nobody has any trouble running Java programs. Java creates *.jar files instead of *.exe files because, while *.exe files can only run on a Windows computer, *.jar files can run on any computer that has a Java Virtual Machine (which is basically all modern computers regardless of operating system). So yeah, just make sure there are no problems there.
Here is a zip file containing the midi music I have made so far for the game and the file "midi player.jar". You should be able to just double click on the midi player.jar file and it will open a window with a list of the songs. Let me know if the program doesn't work, or if the percussion doesn't work.
