PALLADIX Sound System music files that don't play

[binarymaster]

Got some Palladix music that AdPlug cannot handle yet: PLX.zip

These are from DOS games:

• The Curse of RA
• M.U.D.S. - Mean Ugly Dirty Sport

Thanks. Indeed - these files follow a different format (see your vgmpf reference). It looks like the XMPlay plugin referenced on that site may be able to play all formats, and it comes with source code. We could adapt it for AdPlug, rather than use my player that was reverse-engineered from the Logical game.

I've contacted Professor Chaos, the author of mentioned XMPlay plugin, it seems he's interested :) And revealed some details of his research: https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Professor_Chaos#Preliminary_PMA_format_support_in_AdPlug

That's great! I should probably also change the file extension to PMA from PLX, according to the vgmpf wiki.

FWIW, I also managed to rip the PMA files from the games MadTV, Spoils of War, On the Road, and Catch Em. Some of them were compressed. I am attaching them here and my decompressor (reverse-engineered from MadTV) that I used to get them.
