Direct .umx file playback
« on: June 10, 2013, 08:02:11 AM »
I'm a fan of Deus Ex and I like to play DX's music in .umx format as it has all tracks in one file, Is it possible to implent direct .umx file playback in RB?

Possibly.  Is there an open source (fixed point) decoder available and someone willing to work on it?

It's just an S3M or an IT with a header wrapping it, no?

.S3m files, so it's pretty much doable right?

MP3 players are just small computers.  They can be programmed to decode whatever you want, so pretty much any audio format is doable.

I'm actually using Thomas Jarosch's N900 port of RB, Playing Deus Ex: Project 2027's Main Theme with 4,50+ pitch sounds pretty cool.
