- Galaxy Music Player 32 v0.02
- Written by Virt of T∙R∙I∙A∙L

- Introduction :
- --------------
-
- So there is GLX but unfortunately you'll need your (favorite) Expanded Memory
- Mananger (EMM) for playing really EXCESSIVE pieces of music, I'm now talking
- about 2 Mb files. So the idea was born to build a 32 Bit protected mode version
- of GLX. Ofcourse I didn't like the idea of using other people's protected mode
- interfaces, so I had to build one myself.
- Actually I'm very glad I did it, because I learnt a LOT about the 80386's
- protected mode, I love the 32 bit flat memory model, never to use those
- SEGMENT overrides again. Oh, yes, before I forget since GLX32 uses the 80386's
- 32 Bit protected mode, GLX32 will not run on a 80286 in it's 16 Bit p-mode.
- So this is basically a test release, a 0.00ß, because our new DOS-Extender
- has to be thouroughly tested, so please try everything and if you encounter
- ANY bugs report them, so that they can be fixed in future releases !
- Hmm, the good about all this that samples of about 4 Gb are allowed, sorry
- for the GUSers owning a GUS with only 1 Mb of onboard DRAM, it's time to buy
- that GUS memory expansion kit you saw last week right now...
-
- Using the program :
- -------------------
-
- GLX32 is quite easy to use, you won't be bothered by keying IRQ's, DMA Channels
- Parallelport-addresses etc. The only things GLX likes to know (not needed)
- are : Output device, Replay rate (higher is better) & Name of the module...
-
- Command Line : GLX /oXX /mYY MODULE.EXT
-
- /oXX -> Selects output device (autodetected, listed in order of detection)
- GS : Gravis UltraSound, autodetect memory installed.
- PS : ProAudio Spectrum
- SB : SoundBlaster (Pro) 1.0 - 2.0
- AG : AdLib Gold 1000/2000
- AB : AdLib/SoundBlaster FM Chip
- SO : Stereo-On-1
- SK : PC-Speaker
- C? : Covox/DAC at printer-port ?
-
- /mYY -> Selects mixing speed in Khz (default is 22 Khz)
- GUS : 44.1 Khz Stereo Only !!!
- PAS : 1..44 Khz Stereo Only !!!
- SB 1.0/1.5 : 1..22 Khz
- SB 2.0 : 1..44 Khz
- SB Pro : 1..22 Khz Stereo Only !!!
- AdLib Gold : 7.35, 11.025, 22.05, 44.1 KHz Stereo Only !!!
- AdLib FM : 1..44 Khz
- Stereo-On-1 : 1..64 Khz
- PC-Speaker : 1..44 Khz
- Covox/DAC : 1..64 Khz
-
- MODULE.EXT -> Module name, default extension ".MOD".
- But GLX32 will also load .XM, .S3M, .STM, .669 & .FAR files.
-
- Keys while playing :
- --------------------
-
- <Esc> : Quits the program.
- <S> : Shells to DOS.
- <A..Z> : Change position/mode of voice/channels.
- <CursL>: Previous order, rewind.
- <CursR>: Next order, fastforward.
- <CursU>: Increase Main Volume/Louder.
- <CursD>: Decrease Main Volume/Softer.
- <Space>: Pops up the Fileselector.
- <Enter>: Pops up the Sampleviewer.
- <Home> : Jump to first order/start of song.
- <End> : Jump to last order/end of song.

- About the program :
- -------------------
-
- GLX32 was coded by Virt of T∙R∙I∙A∙L using the following "tools" :
-
- - A Computer (a 386DX-40 with Covox DAC/SoundBlaster 2.0/GUS/PAS)
- - An Editor, I use(d) QEdit v3.00 advanced
- - An Assembler, I use(d) TASM 4.0
- - A Linker, I use(d) TLINK 4.0
- - Friends who gave up a lot of their spare time to discuss
- the results of the changes made.
- - TiDE v1.01, T∙R∙I∙A∙L Integrated 386 DOS-Extender by Virt.
- - Beta-testers : Teake Bruinsma, Marten van Dijk, Michiel Ouwehand and
- (Alfa order:-) Martijn Wilhelm.
-
- GLX32 is written in 80386 assembler, this all because of the 32 bit FLAT
- protected mode that the 80386 has to offer...
-
- Furthermore Virt and/or T∙R∙I∙A∙L cannot be held responsible for ANY
- personal and/or material damage/losses caused by the (improper) use of GLX...
