To be fair, playing back MOD files on an XT through a PC speaker _has_ been done before -- pretty sure it was ModEdit, but there might have been something else (also). When I lost my Atari ST and only had an XT it was all I had =)
- empressplay 12y agoI'm not sure ModEdit was able to play back at 4.77mhz though...
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y ago...as the post acknowledged.
- empressplay 12y ago"Playing back a MOD through PC speaker on such a slow machine has never been done before. Here is how we did it."
- Narishma 12y agoMODedit didn't work on machines that slow.
- ajenner 12y agoI just tracked down MODEdit at http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50179 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50179 . The documentation claims it needs a 10MHz CPU. I tried it on DOSBox and it was able to play through the PC Speaker, but when slowed down to 4.77MHz-equivalent speed it just failed to make any noises at all. If you have a link to another program (or different version of MODEdit) that can play on PC Speaker at 4.77MHz I'd love to check it out and see their techniques.
