Requested codec

Hello.
Is it possible that RockBox can read chiptune/module files like :

- YM files (i love Amstrad & Atari computer...)
- IT files
- XM files
- XMZ files

This type of iles (like MOD files supported in RockBox) are very low-size and native support in RockBox will be wonderfull for old-computer'lover ;-)

Thanks a lot for your Job

Sébastien (sorry for bad english, i'm french)

GodEater:
I'd check in the wiki to make sure, but it's slashdotted at the moment - but I'm fairly certain Rockbox already supports chiptune.

LambdaCalculus:
Rockbox supports the following chiptune formats:

* NSF (Nintendo 8-bit music)
* SPC (Super NES music files)
* SID (Commodore 64 chiptunes)
* MOD (Amiga Tracker format)
* SAP (Atari POKEY chiptunes)

There's a patch in Flyspray to add GBS (Game Boy Music) playback; you can search for it by clicking "Patches" on the left.

Strife89:
There is also the Mikmod patch (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8806), which works pretty well on my Sansa. It should play all formats that Mikmod supports; the Big Four (IT, MOD, S3M, XM) have been tested.

LambdaCalculus:
The only thing about the Mikmod patch is that it's not really a codec, but a "viewer" plugin. Unless it's rewritten as a codec, there's little hope of it making it into SVN.
