Short notes to included plugins:
|
|
|
|
ace - very unstable playback. Sometimes even movement with mouse (!) can
|
|
make it mute... no clue, I tried to contact Thomas but hasn't replied to the
|
|
date.
|
|
|
|
aon - seems to be stable on 060, most of the time :)
|
|
|
|
asap - great ASAP player for Atari 8-bit musics. Comes in three versions:
|
|
asap.mxp (classic Atari), asap_cf.mxp (FireBee build) and asap_ara.mxp
|
|
(ARAnyM build). The reason for Aranym build is that even with the correct
|
|
audio frequency, its DMA pointer sooner or later runs away which results in
|
|
corrupted replay. With more precise Timer-A this doesn't happen. Atari and
|
|
CF versions are 100% system friendly, not a single HW access.
|
|
|
|
dspmod - marked as 030 only, as I've seen it crash on CT60. It makes no
|
|
sense to use it on 060 anyway, there's XMP.
|
|
|
|
gt2 - on 060 it switches cache off (by default, you can change it) as some
|
|
modules with more channels crashed the player
|
|
|
|
mgt - 030 only, if I disable CT60 caches, then it's too slow ;) But don't worry,
|
|
XMP can play MGTs, too!
|
|
|
|
mp2 - no change against 1.x version. It can play some MP2s which the
|
|
original player can't. No Direct from Disk yet.
|
|
|
|
mpg123 - full featured MPEG-1 player for all three layers (aka MP1, MP2,
|
|
MP3). Comes in three versions, see above.
|
|
|
|
ntk - 030 only, not very stable, not very helpful :) Works best (only) in TOS.
|
|
|
|
snd - 030 only, dirty, dirty, dirty. Works best in TOS but even here it's
|
|
quite unstable after some time.
|
|
|
|
xmp - the ultimate player for all kind of modules. It can play pretty much
|
|
everything. It comes also in three version, see above. Btw, you can play
|
|
also archived modules (packed with zip etc) but I'm not sure if it works
|
|
well all the time.
|
|
|
|
Beware, if you try to use plugins which serve the same file type (MP2 for
|
|
example), there's random priority (first come, first served). So, if you use
|
|
030 only, feel free to disable (.mxp -> .mxx) all 060 plugins (ASAP, MPG123,
|
|
XMP) and vice versa. You can always check in Plugin Info dialog what replay
|
|
routine is used right now.
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, don't expect too much from the fact mxPlay is a GEM
|
|
application. Most of the plugins rape OS vectors, timers, caches etc so maybe
|
|
except ASAP and XMP, you'll see quite strange side effects when clicking in
|
|
desktop.
|
|
|
|
Important warning: if you want to use ASAP/MPG123/XMP on ARAnyM, don't
|
|
forget to set 'Frequency = 49170' in ARAnyM's config file! (in [AUDIO]
|
|
section)
