Short: DeliAY 0.14 for DeliTracker 2.14+ Author: rak@dolni.ms.mff.cuni.cz (Patrik Rak) Uploader: kunath@informatik.uni-muenchen.de (Peter Kunath) Type: mus/play Note: Please read DeliAY013a.readme first if you are new to DeliAY. What's new ========== This is new release of DeliAY. The DeliPlayer itself didn't changed to much, except that it now finally displays subsong names (which was not possible before, until I forced Peter Kunath to implement this in DT :-) The really new part are the ZXAYSTRC and ZXAYST11 AYPlayers, which allow replaying tunes from the famous (Polish, I think) SoundTracker 1.1 for ZX Spectrum. The first one is the version which plays tunes compiled by my compiler/compressor, so I do not suppose that it will be very useful for you; the latter is for the original file format produced by the ST11. Here is the header which you can use to convert your ST songs to format playable by ZXAYST11 player: incdir 'includes:' include misc/AYPlayer.i incdir '' b AYMODHEADER ST11 dc.w 0 ;no internal player dc.w 0 ;unknown creator dc.w 0 ;no misc info dc.b 1-1 ;how many songs dc.b 0 ;which should start first dc.w songdata-* songdata dc.w name1-* dc.w data1-* name1 dc.b 'Some ST11 Song',0 even data1 dc.b 0,1,2,3 ;channel assignement dc.w 0 ;fade offset dc.b 0,50 ;fade len incbin dh2:deliay/tmp/yourdata.dat e After compiling save binary from b to e. See dev/ZXAYST11.S for more detailed info about the header format. The other new thing is the huge amount of songs for EMUL and ST11 players. For the songs for the EMUL player we all must thank to Alastair Booker (big applause!!!), who encourages me every once in a while and who spent lot of time ripping these tunes. Thank him. The ST songs I have got from Slavo Labsky (BusySoft), but I have put them in incomming so far since I just appended simple ST11 header and didn't took much care of them.
