Commodore 64 AdLib player using SFX Sound Expander cartridge (with YM3812). If you are interested how I can get the idea to code this, read the story. The purpose of this page is to distribute the player but also to document various topics related to AdLib/the cartridge/file formats and related issues&solutions using the wiki engine of Google Code service.
Currently only DRO v2 (DOSBOX 0.73 or later can produce it) files are supported, and must be compiled into the source! IMF files are supported in a way that you have to convert them before you can play them. Supporting S3M is a future plan. If you have idea to support more formats, please tell me!
Currently it's a C64 project, using SFX Sound Expander cartridge, but check this out as well: hardware.
For a little demo without C64 and the cartridge, you can watch this youtube video. Note: it's done with VICE emulator, so maybe it does not sound the exactly same way as it would on a real cartridge though!
You must download the source, and compile it yourself. For more information visit this link: download. To have an overview on all included additional tools in this project, visit this page.
If you want to support my hobby, please donate me an SFX Sound Expander cartridge, as I only develop using the VICE emulator now which emulates the cartridge as well. But that is not the real thing. By the way, I am so open to get a SuperCPU cartridge as well, especially for C128 mode too, also an IDE64 would be nice. :)
Please check my thanks page out.
Contact me if you have ideas, fixes, patches, or if you use my source in your project (when you must comply to the rules of GNU GPL license, btw).
Also please contact me if you have free-to-distribute IMF/DRO/S3M files which I can include on this site.
