DCPlayer - another pulsating Blender Software (BS) production
-------------------------------------------------------------
It's yet another music CD player. This one takes very little memory, not much
CPU time, works in the background, and watches the joypad or joystick plugged
into controller port 1 on the CD32 or the game port on normal Amigas.
So now you can play CDs whilst doing something else using Workbench. When you
want to swap CDs or skip tracks or something like that press a button on the
joypad and carry on with what you were doing before, instead of messing about
shuffling through windows or screens, clicking on something, then finding
your way back.
I wrote it to help me to sample CDs though. Connect a sampler from the CD32's
audio output to the SX-1's parallel port, load up this, load up some sample
software, and use this to skip to the right place BEFORE starting to sample.
Easy, eh?
At the moment nobody's found out a way of ripping music straight from CD to
memory with cd.device, so this is the easiest way (just try it with the mouse
on the other CD players to see what I mean).
Version 1.4 -> 1.5
------------------
- Changed the EMULATION option so that it works for practically any CD32
emulation around or any new ones. 'Cos of this, the Hisoft Squirrel and
Power CD drives should work fine now.
- Made new emulation options for reverse and forward search. This sorts out
the Archos, Squirrel, and Power drives.
- Made a new SHOW option so you can choose what read out you want on start
up. Now you don't need to keep changing it when DCPlayer starts. It works
for people without control pads too.
- Made a new LOOP option is like the SHOW option but for repeat play.
- Made a new PLAY option which can start playing from a track number or in
random play mode as soon as DCPlayer starts, if there's a CD in the drive.
- Made a NORESET option for anyone who booted from CD and doesn't want the
CD32 to reset as soon as the boot CD is removed.
