Oldskool musaxxs engine
« on: May 23, 2007 »
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.

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 ...

Cheers,

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!

Works fine now!

It's a great work for sure, well done

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