Sikor Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hello! Marok made small proc for it. It simply to use - like in CMC player. Look at disk image in attachment (run *xex.from that). RMTPLAYINTBPUBLIC.zip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 O.K. For non-assembler peoples are precompiled version of RMT player for use with Turbo Basic and other languages. RMTMONO.PLY - player fotr mono music RMT4ST.PLY - player for mono music played in stereo (L1 L2 R3 R4) RMT4ST2.PLY - player stereo for mono music (L1 R2 R3 L4) RMT8ST.PLY - player for 8 channel stereo music TESTPL.XEX - simple demo of using it in compiled Turbo Basic XL. Players play RMT music 1x/frame only. USR proc was written by Marok, player RMT was written by Raster. In Turbo Basic XL music can't be at $4000 - in this examples all music are in $7000 location. Using in your program: (after loading player and music, of course): X=USR($8F85,$9500,music_adress,[song_position]). Good luck in using it! playeryrmttbpublic.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 hi, how do you compile all the files into a unique .xex file I have used the tbxl compiler, but gives me a .cbt file and I have to use the runtime attached to it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 There is small program called "Linker". It simply links the CTB file with patched RUNTIME2.EXE one (warning: program tries to read RUNTIME2.EXE from D1: drive!). Then it saves the file as COM/XEX (you have to end Linker's job to save file properly). And that's all. TB.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miker Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well, then you have to append them by copy ... /A command in dome DOSes, by some Hexedit of by other linking programs as SuperPacker (either Atari and PC versions), Mossad etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Right. I do that: 1. I wrote program in TB, compile it and linked with linker and runtime2. 2. All graphics, music, fonts etc. i prepared with Super Packer (set adresses etc) 3. Link all with Super Packer (small programs) or Mossad (bigger ones). Thats all. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I am sorry for a necro-post. I see there is no source code for the player routine. I would have a question. The player routine requires 19 bytes in the zero page. What address for these bytes is the best for Turbo BASIC XL? I was thinking 146 would be a good one, but this simply destroy turbo basic XL. It seems TBXL is using those addresses for something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I have to try something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, 19 contiguous bytes of memory is a mission impossible. Therefore I have to try something else. The RMT player source is available from the original package http://raster.infos.cz/atari/rmt/rmt.htm , there are newer versions in the forums though. You could also look into dmsc's SAPR player. It only supports 50/60hz mono tunes but that's most of them. How to integrate that with basic, I have no idea. It uses some ZP but you can move it out except for a 2 byte pointer. It will be slightly slower but it's much faster than RMT anyway. Storage wise it requires less than 2.5KB for code+buffers (mostly buffers), and whatever tune you use which may actually be smaller than the original RMT. Yeah, it's pretty great!

baktra Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Thanks. It was source code of the TBXL-specific player that I had on my mind. I have written a custom VBI routine that back-ups and restores used portion of the zero page. It is not exactly clean solution, but if the VBI is not interrupted by itself, it works. As a next step, I would have to modify the rmt player routine to use fewer zero page locations (probably by copying pointers to ZP just when needed). More cycles, but I will have to live with that.

Sikor Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hmm, this is Marok procedure, i don't know, that I has sources yet... Try send PM to marok, meybe he has it yet -i think no problem to replace PAL procedure by NTSC procedure, player was simply Raster implementation.

Hi @Sikor, @Philsan wants an routine, that has correct automatic detection, if a machine runs in 50Hz or 60 Hz and wants to be able that a song, hat is written for 50 Hz automatically plays correct on 60 Hz machines. If you find the sources, I can try to change the code and make a routine available to play from BASIC then - have not done that before, so source code might be helpful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Ok, send me PM next week - I must find my floppy drive and some old disks. I try find it... Theoretically i can got it on old SD card - I search for it yet. ========================== Ok, my memory is not bad, as i think - sources you can find on atarionline.pl: http://atarionline.pl/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=189&page=1 Edited December 27, 2021 by Sikor find it :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
