└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
FS2.EXE (or FMOD.EXE in its standalone player form) is a GUS only player, and
isnt coded marvelously, but I feel it plays mods correctly apart from not
supporting a few effects that arent used much (like tremolo/pattern loop/
pattern delay.) Most other effects are supported.
FS2.EXE supports effect E8x 16 position panning.
To run FS2 you must have your ULTRASND environment variable installed, or
else the player wont work. I used to poke a range of ports to detect the GUS
but I heard this causes problems on some machines, so the ULTRASND variable
is much safer.

- FS2.EXE was coded by myself and is GUS only, so dont complain to me becuase
you havent got a GUS.. If you havent, you have a shit card anyway.. use MDP.
- I'd advise against using MDP if you dont have to, as it seems to do a lot
of effects wrong, especially the tick based effects like volume slide
and porta to note (it seems to do them too fast). My guess is the effects
are being updated on tick 0 when they shouldnt be. The volume especially
on Japanamotion, and the portas on Talisman.
CMOD is my preferred player. use it! :)
- Greetings to Shades for giving information vital to the creation of this
mod player. He gets pissed 'cause no one greets him when he helps them out
:) He's still a lamer anyway.
Also to those who helped me, Bartist, and Otto Chrons.
- Also I must greet all Australian musicians, especially - Trash, ChuckB and
Pulse/Digital Legacy..
