On Windows: Make sure you have Dink Smallwood 1.08 installed, then download both FreeDink and DFArc3. Unpack both of em and replace the outdated DFArc2 with DFArc3. Then i suggest renaming freedink exe files into dink ones or set DFArc3 to run em instead.
freedink.exe and freedinkedit.exe are for 32 bit
freedink64.exe and freedinkedit64.exe are for 64 bit system
For other systems you have this page.
In case of ArchLinux, there is a AUR package for that.
You may compile it from source but make sure to use the 2012 version, as the latest one is currently unstable. Then compile it by following this page. Although i recommend changing it's install direction so you can have an easier time to copy official Dink Smallwood files instead of FreeDink Data's, but then you need WINE and PlayOnLinux to get em from the WIndows installer.
In case of playing MIDI files on Linux, you need Timidity and either FreePats or Fluid soundfont and then set Timidity up to use em and start it's server. But due to the Pulseaudio's no sound issue when playing a MIDI, you have to set TImidity to play MIDI via ALSA. This can be done with this command.
timidity -iA -B 2,8 -Os
It's best to have it as autostart (Terminal isn't required)
I should make a tutorial about installing FreeDink and getting it to run on Linux someday.
