DSMI is a sound interface for PC compatible computers. It
provides programmers with a variety of functions to play music
and sound effects in their programs.
Here are some of DSMI's capabilities:
* Supports following sound sources:
- General DAC (also known as Covox)
- Stereo DACs (also Stereo-on-1)
- PC speaker
- Sound Blaster 1.0 - 2.0
- Sound Blaster Pro (stereo)
- Pro Audio Spectrum (stereo)
- Pro Audio Spectrum+ (stereo)
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (16-bit, stereo)
- Sound Blaster 16 (16-bit, stereo)
- Aria based sound cards (16-bit, stereo)
- Windows Sound System (16-bit, stereo)
- Gravis Ultrasound (16-bit, stereo)
* Up to 32 simultaneous channels
* Plays MODs, STMs, S3Ms, 669s, MTMs and many other formats
* Two operating modes for 8-bit sound sources:
- Fast mode
- Quality mode (better sound quality)
* Special 16-bit support, which means GREAT sound quality on
16-bit cards
* Very extensive programming interface that lets YOU decide what
to do
* Modular structure means easier upgrades (e.g. new sound cards)
* Printed manual (size is over 70 A4-pages)
* Example programs
* Utilizes 386 instruction mix to reach maximum performance,
286 NOT supported :-(
* Free 'Timer Service'-pack for easy timer handling
* Free 'EMS heap manager' for accessing EMS memory
* Comes in 'C' and 'Pascal' versions, 'C' version also supports
assembler
* All C (or Pascal) source code is included for recompiling or
changing (yes, that means DMP/PMP too!)
* Almost all assembly language source code is included
* Practically FREE upgrades!
And last but not the least:
* DSMI IS DEFINITELY THE MOST EXTENSIVE PLAYER ON EARTH!!
WHAT'S IN DSMI------------------------------------------------------------
╓─────────────────╖
║ ║
║ C version ║
║ ║
╙─────────────────╜
- Made with Borland C++ 3.1, but should also work fine with
other compilers
- All C source code is included
- OBJs for assembly language parts are included
- Most of the assembly language source code is included
- A library (DSMI.LIB) is provided for easy linking
- Following parts are written in C:
* Loaders for MOD, STM, 669, S3M and AMF
* Function to free module
* initDSMI() for easy initialization
* Detection routine for GUS
* EMS heap manager
- Everything else is written in assembly language
- C source is compiled with BC++ and uses 386 instruction set
- If your C compiler is very old, make sure it can link with
assembler code using 386 instructions
╓──────────────────╖
║ ║
║ Pascal version ║
║ ║
╙──────────────────╜
- Works with Turbo Pascal 6 and above
- Has TPUs for TP6 and TP7/BP7
- Comes with full Pascal source code, so you can recompile all
the TPUs
- All OBJs for assembler parts are included
- Most assembly language source code is included
- Supports Protected Mode (BP7 only)
- Following parts are written in Pascal:
* Loaders for MOD, STM, 669, S3M and AMF
* Function to free module
* initDSMI() for easy initialization
* Some functions to provide "C" memory handling
* Protected mode API
* EMS heap manager
* Detection routine for GUS
- Everything else is written in assembly language
- If you have older version than 6, you may need to retouch some
of the functions
HOW TO BUY DSMI--------------------------------------------------------
Files LICENSE.DSM and ORDER.DSM should come with this README
