Hi Ron, About "A 16 Bit Graphics/Sound player - Sites & search engine" of march 5:
MS> Should you need to play .MOD, .SM3 or .XM synthesizer files, i MS> suggest using `XTC-Play' or `JukeBox MP3'... RC> ...XTCPlay does not play well on my machine(*), with clicks and RC> gurgles, and JukeBox does not run at all. I have the best success RC> with IT (Impulse Tracker), and with MMP (Multi-Module Player). ...I RC> find that MSP (Miscellaneous Sound Player) does a good job... Thanks for your detailed comments. I didn't read the documentation extensively but i think i seen mentions about configuration; it's quite possible `XTC-Play' will fail but perhaps we should try to compare our 2 setups as one author recommended to load as few drivers as possible. :) RC> My machine: AMD K6, 400 MHz, 64 MB RAM, SB16, running MS-DOS 6.20. Mine is a: P-133, 32 Mb, AudioPlus 3200 PnP, MS-DOS v6.20 Fr.-Can. `Impulse Tracker' reports my sound-card as a Sound Blaster 16... I captured the output screen from `Mem/c>FileName.Ext', here's the result: ************************************************************************ Modules utilisant la m‚moire sous 1 Mo : Nom Totale = Conventionnelle + Sup‚rieure -------- --------------- --------------- ------------- MSDOS 9 645 (9K) 9 645 (9K) 0 (0K) HIMEM 1 168 (1K) 1 168 (1K) 0 (0K) EMM386 4 240 (4K) 4 240 (4K) 0 (0K) COMMAND 272 (0K) 272 (0K) 0 (0K) DOSMAX 240 (0K) 0 (0K) 240 (0K) IFSHLP 3 872 (4K) 0 (0K) 3 872 (4K) TDSK 896 (1K) 0 (0K) 896 (1K) SRDXMS 1 392 (1K) 0 (0K) 1 392 (1K) DISPLAY 8 416 (8K) 0 (0K) 8 416 (8K) FILES 2 688 (3K) 0 (0K) 2 688 (3K) FCBS 976 (1K) 0 (0K) 976 (1K) 18 640 (18K) 0 (0K) 18 640 (18K) LASTDRIV 2 304 (2K) 0 (0K) 2 304 (2K) STACKS 3 024 (3K) 0 (0K) 3 024 (3K) INSTALL 160 (0K) 0 (0K) 160 (0K) COMMAND 6 112 (6K) 0 (0K) 6 112 (6K) APMIX 1 680 (2K) 0 (0K) 1 680 (2K) VMANSI 1 744 (2K) 0 (0K) 1 744 (2K) DOSKEY 4 144 (4K) 0 (0K) 4 144 (4K) KEYB 7 440 (7K) 0 (0K) 7 440 (7K) SMARTDRV 29 072 (28K) 0 (0K) 29 072 (28K) CTMOUSE 7 168 (7K) 0 (0K) 7 168 (7K) Libre 697 664 (681K) 639 472 (624K) 58 192 (57K) Etat de la m‚moire : Type de m‚moire Taille = Utilis‚e + Libre ---------------- ---------- ---------- --------- Conventionnelle 655 360 15 888 639 472 Sup‚rieure 158 160 99 968 58 192 R‚serv‚ 393 216 393 216 0 Etendue (XMS) 32 347 696 6 600 240 25 747 456 ---------------- ---------- ---------- --------- M‚moire totale 33 554 432 7 109 312 26 445 120 Total sous 1 Mo 813 520 115 856 697 664 Taille maximale du programme ex‚cutable 639 456 (624K) Bloc maximal de m‚moire sup‚rieure libre 47 664 (47K) MS-DOS r‚sident en m‚moire haute (HMA). ************************************************************************ RC> I also have huge (ex-Hi-Fi) speakers hooked up, set wide for best RC> stereo effect.
