Introduction

mmSAP s SAP (Slight atari player) player based on ASAP library that uses SDL2 for audio output and has GTK 3 based GUI

SAP is a special file format designed to store POKEY-based Atari XL/XE music. The biggest collection of such music is ASMA (Atari SAP Music Archive) that can be found at: http://asma.atari.org.

ASAP library also allows you to load RMT,TMC,TM2,MPT,CMC files directly. For fresh information about supported formats, refer to the ASAP project.

mmSAP's development has been revived in late 2022 with unified code base for Windows and Linux. The revival was inspired by a similar revival of the ASMA archive.
