DMS is a rather buggy implementation of a S3M player for the Yaroze, but it works! You create an S3M-compatible file, convert it to DMS format, load it to the Yaroze, and include some small libraries in your executable. If you write your S3M file correctly, you should be able to get all 16-channels to play back and still have room for sound effects. You can theoretically have more than 1 DMS file playing back at the same time, too. The DMS player is written for NTSC, but the DMS libraries can be configured for either NTSC or PAL. (For lack of a high-resolution timer, I'm using the vsync counts.) The code for the player is also included in the archive so you can make the necessary adjustments for PAL. (Remember to check the DMSInit() call in the main() function!) If you're interested in checking this out, go to: http://www.netmagic.net/~tenchi/yaroze/ and click on the Download link. There is a ZIP archive with: - a README.TXT which you should read :P - DMSPlay (NTSC) - S2S (DOS utility) - TEST1.DMS (a sample song with its accompanying .S3M file) - full source code to DMSPlay, DMS, S2S, and other stuff NOTE: If you don't have direct SCEA access, you can grab the archive directly from: http://www.netmagic.net/~tenchi/yaroze/download/dmstest.zip - e! tenchi@netmagic.net http://www.netmagic.net/~tenchi/yaroze/
