[General Information]
MuPLAY is a music player utility which supports various MSX-format
music data.
Following music drivers are supported.
MuPLAY boasts unique feature to support multiple sounds, from internal
to MIDI sound modules.

- MIO (by Honshamae; http://member.nifty.ne.jp/Breeze/index.html)
- MGS (by Ain; http://www.gigamixonline.com/mgsdrv/)
[How to Use]
- Place MuPLAY.COM in a desired directory, and specify path.
- Put any of following supportable drivers in same directory
with MuPLAY.COM.
* Playing of a music data requires referent driver file.
* Once MIO is resident in memory, MIO file itself does not need
to be present in same directory with MuPLAY.COM.
KINROU5.DRV (MuSICA/Kinrou 5th)/MPK.BIN (MPK)/MGSDRV.COM (MGS)
- Boot MuPLAY.COM (For Example : A:\>MUPLAY).
* Several commandline options exist, but details are unknown.
One known commandline option is direct tune playing by adding
a file name after "MUPLAY".
- Mouse operation is possible. (auto-detect upon bootup)
- When CAPS is ON, cursor keys are used to move mouse pointer.
- Click over drive name in upper right to select drive.
- Click left of spectrum analyzer and channel monitor to change
speed of display.
- When music data files are too many to fit into file name list,
scroll file name list by moving mouse vertically while pressing
down right button (called "cat's paw scroll"),
- F1 : Change playing mode (repeat one tune / by order / random)
- F2 : Reload from disk (make sure to reload after changing diskette)
- F3 : Stop playing (STOP)
- F4 : Fast forward (FF)
- F5 : Re-playing (play music data in memory again)
- 1 to 8 on numeric keyboard correspond to drives A: to H:.
- Find hidden features of mouse control by yourself. (^^;
[Environment]
- Though only MSX turboR can run MuPLAY, MSX2 with 128KB VRAM and
MSX-DOS2 can also run (by excessively poor speed).
* Attempt to play complex music data with MSX2 may cause hangup.
