*************************************************************************** * Player documentation * *************************************************************************** © 1992 by Delirium Date 12.09.1992 All players were adapted and tested with care. If problems arise from our adaption we will fix them till the next release if possible. For this we need some informations about your system (type, processor, memory, kickstart) and a precise description of the fault. In addition we need the used DeliTracker with the player and the module(s) which produces this fault. If you have removed a bug or improved a player we would be pleased if you send this player to us. If you have adapted a completely new player it would be nice if you send us the player (perhaps with source) and some modules for this player. Please remark if we can include the player in the next distribution. We can not make any warranties for modules that include the replay routine. For more about players and custom modules read 'Programming.doc' and the includefile 'misc/deliplayers.i'. =========================================================================== = INTERNAL = =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoundTracker15 Player for old SoundTracker modules. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoundTracker31 Player for SoundTracker modules with 31 instruments This kind of modules are very seldom. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NoiseTracker Player for NoiseTracker modules. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- StarTrekker4 Player for StarTrekker modules without AM sounds. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProTracker ProTracker Player (supports all PT1.1b effects) all internal ST like players are based on this replay routine. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CustomPlay With this interface it is possible to integrate special players and modules. The module contains the full replay routine. Custom Modules are more like a players than a modules. They are segments, so the player can be relocated. Note: DO NOT PACK CUSTOM MODULES ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== = EXTERNAL = =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delta1.0 Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delta2.0 Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! There may be some problems with the volumecontrol with certain modules. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DSS Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMS Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC1.3 Uses internal interrupt. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC1.4 Uses internal interrupt. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FTM Wrong audioallocation (the player doesnt check if it really got the channels) !!! Enforcer hit => $70 vector used Modules of this type may not be crunched. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- GMC Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hippel Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hippel-COSO Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IFF-8SVX Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IFF-SMUS Songend detection supported. This player uses the config feature for setting the instrument path (deafult is 'Instruments:'). Notes: Songfiles where no instument is set are recognized and loaded, but you won't hear anything. The names of the instruments must have a '.instr' suffix. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- JamCracker Uses internal interrupt. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KRIS Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.O.N. Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MarkII Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MED plays 'MMD0' and 'MMD1' modules, no songs, no MIDI --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mugician Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music-Ass Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NoiseTrackerPak Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NP2.0 Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NP3.0 Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OctaMED plays 'MMD0' and 'MMD1' MED modules with 5 -8 channels. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OKPlay This replay routine was adapted directly by the author, Armin Sander. But this replay routine has still some problems with 68030 (or at least A3000) and heavy loaded chip-ram bus (e.g. Hires 16 color screen). In NTSC mode 2 notes are not played. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROMIZER Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SaPlayer Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIDMon1.0 Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIDMon2.0 Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoundFX13 Uses internal interrupt. This player doesn't play modules which were saved as executables. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoundFX20 Uses internal interrupt. This player doesn't play modules which were saved as executables. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoundMon Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ST26 Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- StarTrekker4AM Uses internal interrupt. This player plays only StarTrekker modules with AM sounds. The corresponding '.NT' file must exist else the module won't be played. Both files may be crunched. Songend detection supported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TFMX_1.5 Uses internal interrupt. The songfile must begin with 'mdat.' and the sampelfile with 'smpl.' Both files may be crunched. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TFMX_7V Enforcer hit => $70 vector used This (7 voice) player is very cpu-intensive. The songfile must begin with 'mdat.' and the sampelfile with 'smpl.' Both files may be crunched. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TFMX_Pro The songfile must begin with 'mdat.' and the sampelfile with 'smpl.' Both files may be crunched. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TME Uses internal interrupt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whittaker Uses internal interrupt. Replaycode inside the module !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== = WANTED = =========================================================================== I am searching for these replay routines if they are freely distributable: ° StarTrekker 1.3 AM/8 Voices ° Music Maker ° Music Master ° B2-MIDI ° Soundfactory ° Beathoven ° Wizard of Sound ° SuperJam ° DMCS ° In Stereo If you send me the routines please include some modules for testing. Any other routines are welcome too.
