@salass00

you can relax :)

this problem ain't related to your plugin.
it happens when playing mp3's too now..

I managed to fix this crash.

The sound isn't very good though. I'll try increasing/decreasing the buffer to see if it helps as it seems to me that the problem is that the sound decoding isn't keeping up with the playback.

[edit]
Halving the buffer size used in TNPlug_DecodeFramePlayer() actually fixed the sound.

Confirmed!
Battle_0.x.32.c4.ast a tune from Mario Kart Double Dash (PCM format) plays
fine now. It's a real CPU hogger though, but that's not your problem to fix i guess. :)

The Zelda music still sounds weird. Endian problems maybe?

I am taking the GBA plugin for a spin now.
Download these tunes from Castlevania:
ftp://ftp.modland.com/pub/modules/Gameboy%20Sound%20Format/Sota%20Tojima/Castlevania%20-%20Circle%20Of%20The%20Moon

I don't know if this only happens on my AmigaOne,
but, the first tune I play plays fine to the end, but when
the second tune is started, it stutters.

Could you (and others possibly?) try to verify this?

EDIT: The audio also gets wicked when I play a tune, and double click another tune to play it. If i hit the pause button before i double click another tune it works though.

I updated the AFC code with the one from from in_cube 0.23b4 and it now it sounds Ok, at least until it's about halway through the sounds at which point it starts playing random noise at high volume.

The decoder only deals with bytes (one byte contains two 4-bit samples) so it's not endian related.

If you have Ranger running with "Processes" tab visible you can see what is happening. Just when the tune ends there are two TuneNet Open processes and two TN_GSF.bin processes. This may be because the decoding process doesn't stop immediately when the process ends (i.e. it may still be decoding in the background for a while). I'll see if I can fix it.

[edit]
Actually I don't think there's much I can do about it. What you can do however is select "Simple" playback in the TuneNet's preferences instead of Gapless (or X-fade), then it will wait until the first player has stopped before continuing.

It seems that there isn't any file parsing code in libsaasound, so do you have a link to something that explains the file format used?

@salass00

Sorry for the lack of replys... i catched a fever yesterday...
I've been in bed since..
I'm ok enought to use my A1 for a couple of hours now though.
I'll see what i can find out.

OK, here we go!

Info on SAA:

ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/sam-coupe/emulation/sound/SaaEmu-online_doc.html

SAAEMU Homepage: http://www.keprt.cz/sam/saa/

SamPlay (Hope this one can give you some clue...) http://www.keprt.cz/progs/saaemu/saaemu070.zip

EDIT: Some more info on the SAM/COP/SNG format!

testing the simple option in tunenet now... a good idea might be to write about this in the tune GSF plugin.
edit: OK, works fine now! =)
spot is a 'simple' chap from now on! =)

Unfortunately SAAEmu and SAMPlay are both closed source. SAAEmu is only provided as a precompiled library file.

I don't think the author will be of much help:

In the fact I’m NOT supporting any non-Intel machines. Go and but Intel-based PC AT computer, it’s quite cheap and the right STANDARD! I won‘t waste my time with other platforms.

I guess he doesn't support AMD CPUs either...

The vorc link doesn't give the kind of information I need either, i.e. information like what is stored at what offsets and such, although I at least know now that the file extension is either SNG or COP.

@salass00

the Sam Coupe emulator Sim Coupe uses this library... maybe those sources
can give you some clues?
It's available on os4depot:

VERY interesting page.
Audio Overload is a cool Mac player with support for a lot of formats.
Among other SSF the Sega Saturn musicformat. It's similiar to GSF amd PSF.
Audio Overload also supports Sam Coupe music. I don't know if it's in this
SDK yet though. Take a look.

http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=221

EDIT: Took a look at it now.

It currently supports PSF, SSF and QSF.

That's two formats (SSF and QSF) that haven't been open sourced until now! :D

SSF = Saturn, QSF = Capcom Q-Sound Format (Capcom arcade games!)

Post #1 updated:

* Removed libPOKECubed as it's supported in TuneNet now.
* Removed in_cube as it's supported in TuneNet now.
* Added the Audio Overload SDK, which supports PSF, SSF and QSF.

None of your Modland links work they all start with http:// before the ftp://.

Its good to see so many formats now being supported, is there any one working on a USF plugin for N64 music.

@Arnie

yeah.. i know i will fix the links..

USF is tricky biz. I have looked into it, and the sources are very
windows/x86 specific.. there supposedly is a rewritten source of 64th note for BeOS though..

amigaworld doesn't like ftp links it seems.
when clicking a 'download music!' link, change http:// to ftp://

Probably the forum software just checks for http:// at the beginning of the link and if it isn't there it adds it, in this case breaking it. I just copy/paste the link text rather than clicking on them.
