RetroBeat Music W-Ystem- Play PSF-SPC-USF
(the same words for ever: Sorry for my english.)

Iorana...
Well... this is my first... patch...
Is so basic (compared with the powerful german patches), so don't laugh.

Zitat von readme.pdf file

RetroBeat Music W-Ystem is like a "Second sound system" (yeah, based by Cherry's idea), with PSF, SPC and USF compatibility. This engine is independient of RPG Maker, and you can operating it via a EXE Patch (in this case, I use KeyPatch).

Zitat von readme.pdf file

What is a PSF, SPC and USF?
Okay, those formats are used for Directly Original Videogames Music rips (OST in OST quality... you understand?). Generally, those rips have a really nice sound quality, and has a small size (30-500 kb generally). The most popular formats are PSF, for PlayStation 1/2 Music Rips, SPC, for SNES Music Rips, and USF, for Nintendo 64 rips. Yeah, are more, but those are the most popular. If you are interested in those formats, you can download PSF, SPC & USF sets in http://www.zophar.net

Okay... that's the idea. I will be maked it in AutoIt3 (i don't know true programming yet), and i think that works fine. This patch comes with a Demo project for a easy testing of it, and some music files.

The download link is here (CherryShare- RAR- 3.6 MB aprox.):

Okay... i hope you enjoyed it.

Looks very interesting, but unfortunately I am encountering problems when testing the demo:

I started the demo in testplay mode. The title screen appears, then I get this:

---------------------------
Rpg_rt: RPG_RT.exe - Fehler in Anwendung
---------------------------
Die Ausnahme "Unbekannter Softwarefehler" (0x0eedfade) ist in der Anwendung an der Stelle 0x7c812afb aufgetreten.


---------------------------
OK   Abbrechen   
---------------------------

After clicking OK, another instance of the game opens (!), but in fullscreen mode, without testplay. In this instance, the demo works, but after closing it, the music doesn't stop till I close the other instance too...

greetings, Cherry

EDIT: This also happens when I start the game using Windows Explorer. In this case, an error message appears when closing the game: "rbmw.exe has encountered a problem and has to be closed".

Winamp API? Nice idea. I tried to include the SNESAPU code (the core code behind SNESamp) in Disharmony, but failed. Actually, I was able to include it, but it had to use 2 additional DLLs... and I didn't want that.

Well in theory it should be possible to include it without an additional DLL, since it's written in assembler and can be compiled to a format that Delphi can link statically... however, I'm too bad a coder to actually succeed in it. Maybe I could ask Cherry for help some time :> I would also have to port some C++ code to Delphi...

Question: are you, in theory, able to use any arbitrary Winamp input plugin with this?

[Veyrne]

I just tested the demo of your sound system and it works fine. But there's a little problem with closing the game: The music always remains by using of Alt+F4 and it remains sometimes If I'm closing by the "End Game"-option of the title.

Nice idea, so far. The usability of this small formats is a good sucess for all of us.

Iorana...
Mmm... well... stupid bugs ¬¬

Cherry: This is the most strange bug. Is very strange, beacuse i didn't hack RPG_RT.exe in this patch. So i don't know why the first error is... But, try to change the RPG_RT.exe to other one (with Harmony.dll compatibility). About the music doesn't shut off, is a rare thing (The patch closes if RPG_RT.exe leaves existing... but in the action, here's a 2 RPG_RT.exe processes running at the same time.) I wanna fix this, changing the process verify, to the window verifing...

Derula: Yes, in theory. But i tested this only with PSF, SPC, USF and Module input plugins. I didn't tested yet with other input plugins (but, if you wanna test, take any input plugin, rename it and replace any of RBMW plugin).

Veyrne: The same words for Cherry... I wanna fix the RPG_RT.exe proccess detecting. Thanks!


Okay, I have to fix that...
Thanks for the comments.
Maururu... bye!
