Oldskool musaxxs engine

[slippy]

Hi there,

as I already coded a little wrapper for the StSoundLibrary by Leonard/Oxygene, I decided to wrap another one for you ...

this time it's a somewhat more sophisticated library as it emulates (!) the Motorla 68k environment (partly) and the sound chip of Amiga (Paula...) / Atari ST (YM2149) - thus the produced sound output is nearly (!) the same as on the originals ...

as the wrapper is under development by me I attached you two sample files. One Future Composer zak and one sophisticated Atari ST sample

Unfortunately this library is somehow a bit big - so you might not code 64k productions with it ... anyway ...

Is there any interest from your side for the library? Should I make it public? or is it just me who's in love with this oldskoolish musaxxs??!

I'm looking forward to hear from you

Cheers,
SLiPPY

Definitely interested

You'll get a load of people want to use your work if you can make it possible to play all these formats from a library that can be used from Freebasic with just a few calls, like load_song, play_song, stop_song.

uh oh ... hmmm ... i compiled it on my vista AMD XP 5200 ... seems to be some project settings ... now I only need a Win XP ready to test ... :|

I'll post you my results asap

thanks for testing this dudes ... and sorry for the limited os support by now *sigh*

Cheers,

Don't know if you've got enough information but nothing on my win2k either

As you're in the process of fixing it up, I'd just like to reply to your query about people being interested in a lib that can play FC songs etc..

I for one would most certainly be interested in this. I am not saying that I would use it a lot, but there are times in the past where I've wished that one existed so I would certainly use it sometimes.

Especially if it behaved as Ufmod does with Freebasic.

Hey again ... I fixed that nasty bug - now the attached samples should play on any win32-based os without problems ^^

To simulate the problem I just installed Virtual PC 2007 and a WinXP SP2-based developer-image which both can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft website

Next step will be the port to FreeBasic ...

Both run beautifully here Slippy

Shame that the file size is a little large but I think I would be able to live with that because it's not huge.

I am really looking forward to a conversion to Freebasic but please do have some good Karma in the meantime.. Ok, it's not a lot for your work but just to show it's appreciated and eagerly anticipated!

[Rbz]

Works fine now!

It's a great work for sure, well done

Oh, and this library will be very useful for music disks
