- MegaPlayer™ v 0.95β, June, 19th 1994
- -------------------------------------
-
- The MegaPlayer™ is the Player of the MegaTracker™. It allows you to
- hear Amiga MOD, MTM, 669 and S3M modules !
- It can work in background as an accessory (rename it MGT-PLAY.ACC)
- or alone as an application (or in background under MiNT)
- You get two resource files MGPL-FRA.RSC and MGPL-ENG.RSC,
- french and english versions to rename MGT-PLAY.RSC
-
- You can now load modules which have been packed by Atomik 3.5
- Speed Packer 3, Pack Ice 2.4 or Power Packer 2.0.
- I think Atomik 3.5 by Altair is the best packer on Atari.
-
- The interface is simple and easy to understand.
- It's the classics keys of a CD player,
- Control Page of modules list is simple too.
- Module list is limited to 200 modules.
-
- Notice, that my GEM routs are still young and you may have some
- strange things on the screen.. for example if the windows are
- open and behind the formular of an other program..
-
- Since, depacking has been implemented you can have bugs with
- big modules (S3M in particular) but I never have any problem !
-
- Other bug is that DSP program is sometime not correctly send by
- the XBIOS and the result is that all the system is blocked.
- The only way to escape this is the RESET button !
-
