│ ■ HOW TO USE THE PLAYER ■ │
│ │
│ At your command line type - X-PLAY FILENAME.DMF to play your desired │
│ sound file (or without parameters to view the list of options). │
│ │
│ After selecting a valid sound file, the program prompts you to enter │
│ several information. Select your sound card and the corresponding │
│ mixer information. This of course only affects SoundBlaster(tm) output │
│ and is therefore not required if running in GUS mode. │
│ │
│ The player main screen shows some information while playing and, of │
│ course, a fine, 32 channel wide equalizer! Please note that the DMA │
│ transfer on SB and compatible cards slows down the systemspeed and │
│ affects the frame update of the equalizer. Let there be GUS! │
│ │
│ Note from RAY: I could have made the equalizer a LOT faster in SB mode │
│ but this would decrease the sound qualitiy, so I decided to give maxi- │
│ mum performance to quality. │
│ │
│ This is why I implemented the "/B:xx" option which sets the DMA buffer │
│ length. The smaller the value, the faster the equalizer on SB cards. │
│ Just use the value you want to... │
│ │
│ DISCLAIMER: You use this software at your own risk! We are not │
│ responsible for you putting the cat into the fridge while playing! │
│ │
│ This program may be distributed freely as long no fee is charged for │
│ distribution. If you do copy this program, then copy it for FREE!!! │
│ (Otherwise we'll get ya!) │

│ │
│ Sorry for this SHORT docu, but no time to write a bigger one! ;))) │
│ │
│ Revizion hiztory: │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.o1 to 1.2o: │
│ - Renamed to X-PLAY because of some problems with the small D-LUSION │
│ player. │
│ - Config file implemented. the first time you run the program and │
│ enter the parameters, X-PLAY will store your configuration in a │
│ special .INI file (hi BOP, CODE-X!). │
│ - some graphical changes (yo COS) - think you feel better now! │
│ - check out the new functions! (watch the player screen!) │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.2o to 1.26: │
│ - added support for DMA's 2,4,5,6,7,8,9 and IRQ's 2 and 12 for more │
│ success on SB 16 and GUS. │
│ - added a secret message scroller ;) maybe you find it! │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.26 to 1.27 │
│ - added dos exit codes, now X-PLAY sets the errorcode <> 0 if an │
│ error occured. │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.27 to 1.28 │
│ - sorry dudez and dutettez! X-PLAY crashed with a player error on │
│ some systems and/or machines. This has been fixed! Sorry again! ;) │
│ - speeded up equalizer decrement on request by [ANNibAl! │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.28 to 1.3o │
│ - added new memory manager features. Now X-PLAY will run with │
│ QEMM (tm) or EMM installed (but you must have at least one │
│ meg of XMS tough...). │
│ │
│ *** NOTE: this feature is very new, so if it does not work - please │
│ *** do not blame us for that. Please leave us a message, and we'll │
│ *** try to fix it. │
│ │
│ - the GUS window now shows the memory free _after_ loading a module. │
│ - added DSM support (_D_ouble _S_ound _M_em). Now X-PLAY will │
│ double the memory on your sound card (so you can play 1 meg files │
│ on 1/2 meg cards). This will result (how could it be) in a loss │
│ of quality. If you have less than one meg on your UltraSound │
│ card, this feature will be activated automatically. As soon as │
│ DSM is active, the free memory in the GUS window will be written │
│ in red chars. │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 1.3o to 2.oo │
│ - last final release, added support for DMF versions created using │
│ X-TRACKER V1.0 final. │
│ - for more information: read the (now noe more) secret scroller, the │
│ command line add-on for this is /SHOWMEASECRET (easy, huh?!) │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 2.oo to 2.o1 │
│ - errm, this is a new version with some changes and bugfixes. Just │
│ something to use instead of the older one. Have phun ;) │
│ - fixed DOUBLE SOUND MEM feature. │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 2.o1 to 2.o2 │
│ - ahem. Sorry! Ray did it again ;) Killed a few bugs and implemented │
│ a new one. On some systems, X-PLAY crashed. It should work now. │
│ I hope so ;) If not, just call me and tell me the error number. │
│ Thanks! │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 2.o2 to 2.o3 │
│ - small bug fixed for CD rom usage. Now X-PLAY will also load │
│ "read-only" files. Wow, that was a cute one.... ;) │
│ Non public version. Only available together with the commercial │
│ version of X-TRACKER. │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 2.o3 to 2.1o │
│ - catched another bug (setting the master volume from the command │
│ line did not work) and implemented the setting for the DMA buffer. │
│ Beside finding some really minor bugs I also revised the error │
│ handling. X-PLAY should now no more reset in error cases. As I │
│ said: it SHOULD not... ;) │
│ │
│ Changes from Verzion 2.1o to 2.2o │
│ - added nice color settings. Some bugs fixed, too. Added enhancements │
│ for support of SB AWE32 as soon as the new drivers are ready. │
│ │
│ Goodbye and keep on raving - yours RAY │
