A bit of curiosity about Rockdoom...

<< < (2/3) > >>

nls:
1) because the music is midi and it is not trivial to support (we don't have a stand alone midi player that works well on all players yet)

2) and 3) No one around here really make plans for this kind of stuff and most of the Doom plugin work has been done by kkurbjun, and he isn't around regularly.

kkurbjun:
Yep, have not had much time to work on doom and all lately now that I've graduated and am working full time.  I think music is possible on the gigabeat and maybe some of the dual core targets with the current state of rockdoom and the midiplayer, but the rest of the players just don't have the speed.  I wanted to commit the patch in flyspray, but the author never fixed the things I asked for, and I don't have an ipod to test against.

zombieplasticclock:
Huh, Didn't thing music affected speed. Well, If you are planning on making a change in Doom, kkurbjun, You can use my Ipod as a guina pig.
by the way, thanks very much for your work in rockdoom. It's the greatest time waster of all time.

And with my questions answered, I'm gonna request a BUMP,

Unless, of course, you peeps have more to say  ;D

It takes CPU time to both play music and run doom, it doesn't happen by magic :)  If either the music bit or the doom bit take more than 'half' the CPU, you won't be able to run both together at full speed.

Please don't, it is against forum rules.

zombieplasticclock:
Ahh, sorry. I used to use the Clock Crew forums, and you say the B word if you want the forum to end. It's an old habit. sorry

About the Midi, Have you tried compessing the midis or somthing? I have little understanding on how Midi's work, and even less on coding, But if you lower the filesize, it should work, yeah?
Well, again, If you need a guina pig to test new features in rockdoom, I'm willing to risk my ipod.
