Notes:
1. In order to use this Protracker player you must first disable the
internal ProTracker player in the EaglePlayer manager menu (and
sometimes the StarTracker player also, for example for modules from
the game "Lotus III").
2. This player doesn't play all tracker mods correctly. It plays some mods
correctly, some mods incorrectly, some mods better, some mods worse,
and some mods differently than the internal EaglePlayer ProTracker
player. At present there is no single Protracker player which correctly
plays all Protracker mods because there are too many different versions
of the Protracker editor/replay with different wait modes and sometimes
even with different commands.
3. This player uses the WaitAudioDMA function so you can change the wait
mode in the EP Timing submenu and set the correct values for your
particular Amiga CPU and/or screen mode.
4. This Protracker player was based on the Dens Design version of the
Protracker replay routine used in the game "Aladdin". It was mostly
used by famous tracker musicians like Andrew Barnabas, Volker Tripp and
Bjoern Lynne. The main reason for this player is to allow you to play
Protracker mods with (pseudo) subsongs like the ingame modules from
the games "Aladdin" and "Cool Spot".
5. If a module uses the normal PatternJump command sometimes subsongs
that don't really exist are detected.
6. The loaded module must have always be at least as many bytes long as
the calculated size. This is why some modules will give you an error
with this player.
7. If you want you can try to make a better Protracker player, the source
is available on the WT page.
