Porting modplug...?

[GodEater]

To clarify, both the "VMWare Player" application and "VMWare Server" application are available without any charge.

You can use either with our image - but we recommend "Player" unless you're planning on doing something more complicated with the image (since the Player can only "run" the image, it can't modify it).

http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/8806 -- not Modplug, but it does play other mod formats (and renders .mod more completely).

I just compiled rockbox with this patch and it works quite well! (is it normal if .mod files are still played by the firmware itself and not the mikmod plugin?) Anyway this rocks, thanks very much for this.

btw, what are those "ohloh" things with "kudos/commits" in some people's signature? (i just noticed the number on GodEater's increased from 8 to 9)

You can use "Open With..." in the context menu to open the file with Mikmod.  On the iPod, just hold down the select button for a few seconds to bring up the menu; I don't know about other audio players.

Yep, that works, thanks =) actually figured it out after posting my previous comment. Now how would i modify the rockbox firmware so it doesn't try to load .mod files itself?

Incidentally, how do you generate your patches against the rockbox source? What would i need to name the unmodified and (mik)modified source tree directories before running diff?

Just click the link, that will get you started...

BTW i just fixed a small but annoying bug that made instrument and sample lists scroll upside down on ipod.


Just changed apps/plugins/mikmod/mikmod.c lines 64 and 65 from:

Code: [Select]

#define BTN_UP           BUTTON_SCROLL_FWD
#define BTN_DOWN         BUTTON_SCROLL_BACK

to:

Code: [Select]

#define BTN_DOWN         BUTTON_SCROLL_FWD
#define BTN_UP           BUTTON_SCROLL_BACK

/* edit */

Never mind, that screws up the volume control now. Best fix is to swap lines 584-589 with lines 604-609.

I've applied the patch and I'm loving it. I had 43 MB of free space on my micro SD card before. A quick visit to www.modarchive.org filled it up completely.

what about bassmod as a src?

[Chronon]

Cool. But isn't vmware commercial? (i don't have it....)

Also, VirtualBox now supports VMWare disk images.

What is your suggestion, exactly?
