-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.75 Bug fixes December 3rd, 1993
-
- - New reset routine for GUS
- - A bug in S3M loader fixed
- - Many internal changes for forthcoming DSMI/32
- which is a 32-bit flat model (Watcom C/C++) version of DSMI.
- Already works with GUS

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.74 MTM support November 28th, 1993
-
- + DMP now loads and plays MTM modules created with MultiTracker
- * I had to skip 2.73 because some lamer had done a fake 2.73 (which
- didn't even work..)
- - New postcard address
- - LOTS of internal changes (for forthcoming DSMI/32)
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.72 Bug fixes November 13th, 1993
-
- - Uhh, a major bug in CDI caused crashes with other soundcards
- than GUS (and maybe even with GUS)... I wonder when I learn to
- test DMP propely before releasing it!
- - Fixed a bug in S3M loader that caused the last instrument not
- to play at all.
- + Now you can use surround in your own modules too! Just use the
- command 8 (normally unused) with parameter A4. If you want
- regular panning, use values 0 for left, 40 for center, 80 for right.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.71 Bug fixes November 1st, 1993
-
- - Samples are now loaded into GUS using the old non-DMA method.
- It seemed like the DMA routine was causing most of the problems
- on various machines. I have optimized the byte-by-byte downloading
- function, so it doesn't take too long on slower machines either.
- - Some timing bugs with GUS fixed.
- + Option -Wcommand lets you immediately shell to DOS after the module
- starts playing. It will also run the optional 'command'.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.70 Murphy's law... October 10th, 1993
-
- - Correcting one bug creates two new bugs... GUS didn't set
- the correct channel count -> too high play frequency
- - Reset code should now finally work...
- - 669 loader tempo bug fixed
- - DMA bug with normal sound cards fixed (caused static)
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.69 Stereo DACs fixed (hopefully) October 9th, 1993
- GUS reset bugs fixed
-
- - There was a small bug in stereo DAC code that prevented
- stereo output. Now fixed.
- - New reset code for GUS should get rid of those lock ups with GUS.
- + New device numbers for PC Speaker/Stereo DACs (10,11 & 12)
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.68 Stereo DACs October 3rd, 1993
- Bug fixes
-
- - There was a serious portamento bug in 2.67 which is now fixed
- (I should've tested it more carefully before releasing...)
- + Support for stereo DACs. Use following options to enable
- them:
-
- DMP -c6 -d1 <Dual DACs on LPT1 & LPT2>
-
- DMP -c6 -d2 -p378 <Stereo-on-1 on LPT1>
-
- NOTE! I haven't tested these (cause I don't own 2 Covox style
- DACs or Stereo-on-1 DAC) so please report any errors/bugs
- to me.
- - Some internal bugs fixed
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.67 GUS bugs fixed October 3rd, 1993
- New SB16 detection routine
- Better S3M compatibility
- Channel inc/dec removed
-
- - Some GUS IRQ bugs were fixed.
- - New SB16 detection routine reads IRQ/DMA values directly from SB16,
- no guessing anymore. Test it! (I haven't!!)
- - Better S3M compatibility (portamento works correctly).
- - You can't increase/decrease channel count anymore, well there
- is no need for it either because you won't get those cracks
- with panning anymore.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.66 GUS bugs fixed September 26th, 1993
-
- - DMA transfer should now work with most motherboards due to
- reduced transfer speed.
- - GUS is now reseted so that line output and input are enabled
- (2.65 didn't enable even output!)
- - Track pause and resume work with GUS
- - Louder volume with GUS
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.65 Surround Sound! September 19th, 1993
- Bug fixes
-
- + Surround sound is implemented! Pressing the 'U' key sets a
- track into surround channel. If you have a Dolby Pro Logic
- Surround Sound Decoder you can hear the sound coming from
- your surround speaker, but even without this decoder you
- get a more "spacier" effect (similar effect found on many stereo
- TVs to enhance mono sound). Use command line option -n100
- to set all tracks to surround mode.
- NOTE! Does not work with GUS!
- - Playing with SB/SB Pro corrupted the higher part of ECX register,
- now it's corrected.
- - GUS loops play now "clicklessly"
- - GUS' mixer settings are not altered anymore so if you have eg.
- line output enabled it will stay that way.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.64 Bug fixes September 13th, 1993
-
- - Fixed a bug with high DMA channels and GUS

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.63 Bug fixes September 11th, 1993
-
- - Some clicks removed from GUS playing.
- - Fixed the problem with loading samples (GUS).
- - Samples are now loaded to GUS using DMA. This method gives a
- faster and more solid transfer. It also reduces some clicks
- caused my byte-by-byte downloader. May not like QEMM if your
- DMA buffer is small.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.62 GUS support, getting better! August 29th, 1993
- Fixed a few bugs
-
- - GUS player seems to working very well now.. still some troubles
- with loading samples after playing many modules, but I'm working
- on it.
- - Fixed a bug in the 669 loader
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.61ß GUS support, better August 16th, 1993
-
- - Some improvements to GUS player. A lot less ultraclicks
- and it should work on any GUS (hopefully!). Please report
- any bugs/incompatibles via e-mail.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.60ß GUS support August 8th, 1993
-
- + GUS is now supported, somehow. I know, it's full of "UltraClicks"
- and it doesn't sound right, but this is just a beta version.
- If you know what could be going wrong (I know *many* things
- already), please send me some e-mail about it. I try to remove
- those clicks as soon as possible, but right now I just wanted
- to see it working.

- + If you encounter problems with DMP, read the DMP.FAQ
- as it contains Frequently Asked Questions about DMP.
- + If you're using headphones with a stereo card, you might
- want to use the default panning feature, which sets panning
- on left and right channels closer to the middle. Use option

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.51 Many bugfixes May 28th, 1993

- EMS support
- Autocalibration
- Utlities are gone
-
- - some bugs in S3M loader fixed, and no more note shifts!
- - Aria support works now better.
- + DMP can now utilize EMS memory for samples. So you can
- play really large MODs with DMP and still have lots of
- DOS memory! Option -b disables EMS usage.
- + Autocalibration adjusts DMP's sampling rate to match the
- REAL sampling rate of the sound card.
- * GRAB.EXE, VIDEOMEM.COM and batch files for ripping S3Ms
- are now history. If you want them, fetch an older version
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.46 Bugfixes May 18th, 1993
- Aria card support
- Support sites?
-
- + New Aria-based sound cards are now supported! You can play up
- to 44.1kHz with 16-bit stereo quality!
- If autodetection fails, use -c7 and other parameters...
- - The portamento/vibrato/arpeggio bug in 2.45 fixed.
- - Theoretically speaking, the S3M loader now converts modules
- incorrectly, but in practise they sound a lot better ( a half
- note shift upwards makes wonders.. :)
-
- * Do you have a BBS and would like to become official support
- site of DMP? Read the included SUPPORT.DMP text file for
- more info.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-

-
- Version 2.44 Bugfixes May 12th, 1993
- PC speaker support
- DAC works better with memory managers

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.43 Bugfixes May 11th, 1993
- Channel panning
- Real volume bars
-
- - Fixed bugs in 669 and S3M loaders
- + Channels can be panned independently with keys L,M and R. If you
- get cracks in the sound, add more channels with ')'. Select channel
- with up/down arrows. Try panning drums to middle, sounds great!
- Of course, all this works only on stereo cards :-)
- - M2AMF now converts 669 modules correctly.
- + Volume bars are now calculated using the real sample data,
- press 'V' to switch between new/old mode.

- + If you want to have clearer sound on SB Pro, turn off the
- filter by pressing 'F'
- + You can also change the tempo module is playing by pressing
- [,],{ or } keys. '[]' affect speed, and '{}' affect BPM tempo.
- + Pressing '(' adds and ')' removes one channel. You should clearly
- hear how this affects sound quality.

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.41 Bugfixes May 9th, 1993
- New utility
- Amplifier
-
- - Fixed note portamento
- - S3M loader is now a lot more compatible.
- - Some outlook bugs fixed, like help screen and that blinking
- bug after returning from DOS shell.
- * VIDEOMEM is a small utility that transforms 96kB of video
- memory into conventional memory, so you can play bigger
- modules with DMP. Works with other non-graphic software, too.
- + You can now amplify playing with command line switch -a.
- Normal value is 31, but be aware that amplifying may cause
- some nasty cracks if volume goes too high. But amplifying
- is helpful if you're playing 8+ channel MODs on 8-bit cards.

-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 2.01 UMB support defaults to DISABLED February 9th, 1993

-
- Version 2.0 DMPMT and DMP combined into one .EXE February 7th, 1993
-
- * DMPMT no longer exist as a separate executable as it's
- functionality has been embedded into DMP.EXE. DMP now
- automatically detects DesqView and Windows and changes
- to DMPMT mode if either is detected. You can also force
- DMPMT mode with '-t' parameter which also accepts
- buffer size like '-t30000'.
-
- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 1.95 UMB support February 6th, 1993

- *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
-
- Version 1.91ß MOD loader bug fix February 5th, 1993
-
- - A bug in the module loader, caused infinite loops if trying
- to load a corrupted module. Now DMP prompts wheather or not
- to play the module.
-

-
- Version 1.90ß Support for SB16, PAS+ and PAS16 February 3rd, 1993
- Many bugs fixed
- 386 support
-
- + 386 instruction set is now fully utilized. Which means that DMP
- won't run on a 286 anymore.
- + DMP is now the only module player capable of playing modules
- with 16-bit accuracy. On a SB16 or PAS16 DMP uses a new mixing
- routine that calculates at 16 bits. This gives you a lot clearer
- sound. Also a new mode, Quality mode, is introduced for 8-bit
- cards.
- + DMP is now a lot faster...
- - Numerous bugs were fixed. Can't remember what bugs, though. :-)
- - Support for DACs is removed, because of non-functionality.
- - No more blue backgrounds after exiting (this wasn't a bug, but
- some people didn't like it...)
