Version 1.6 -> 1.7
------------------
- Whilst stopped, the read out shows the number of tracks on the CD.
- You can quit whilst stopped - press and hold both forward and reverse, then
press stop.
- Removed the gap between tracks after I found that I couldn't sample part of
Lifeforms 'cos the gap was in the middle of it. But the timer emulation had
to go.
- When DCPlayer was started and there was more than one screen, some screens
didn't have their read out colours set. Sorted that one.
- If it couldn't get the shared pens it needs for the read out, it clears
Workbench's backdrops, tries again, returns the backdrops to the screen,
and lets them fight over the remaining pens.
- If you're using lo-res sprites or shared pens, changed it so you've got to
quit when you use eg. screen mode or overscan prefs like any other program
with a window open on the Workbench. Before it lost track of which screen
was Workbench's and went a bit wrong.
- New options - NOBACKDROPS (don't wipe the backdrops if using shared pens),
NOLORES (don't force the read out to be lo-res on the Workbench screen),
and NOPENS (don't use shared pens on the Workbench screen).
Version 1.5 -> 1.6
------------------
- Got rid of the bug where the read out could appear in the wrong place on
dragged down screens or some screen modes.
- On AGA computers the read out will be lo-res in all screen modes. It only
works for the Workbench screen.
- If you've used a screen with more than 16 colours then you'll probably have
noticed that the screen sets the read out's pen colours (it's something to
do with the Amiga's hardware). Now, if you've got Kickstart 3, it'll try to
use pen sharing to stop this. It won't work if something else has already
stolen the pens it needs (eg. a backdrop) - in that case it'll do the same
as before. It only works for the Workbench screen.
- It's faster.
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.
Version 1.3 -> 1.4
------------------
- When stopped, the shuffle button starts random play.
- When not stopped, the shuffle button is used to shuffle through the type of
display you get - one of track number, time since start of CD, time since
start of track, time to end of track, time to end of CD, or nothing.
- And the play button now ejects CDs (the shuffle button used to do this). To
play CDs only the select button is left.
Version 1.2 -> 1.3
------------------
- Added an EMULATION option which makes buggy CD32 emulation work. Currently
it has options for Archos V8 (disable eject and reverse, fix forward and
pause) and Archos V9 (disable reverse, fix forward and pause). The Archos
pause fix in the previous version is removed unless you give this option.
- If you hit loop in stop mode, the last track number played got displayed by
mistake. Oops.
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
------------------
- New option, CHANGE. When the DISPLAY option is on, it only makes it the
display appear after anything changes, and then only for a little while.
- Now pause mode recognises when the CD drive becomes empty straight away.
- The loop button now does 'no repeat' -> 'repeat' -> 'repeat 1'.
- An Archos bug fixed - whilst stopped, you can open as well as close the
drive door (they can't even emulate the eject command properly...).
- Another Archos bug fixed - when in pause and you changed track, it started
to play again. Trouble is, searching through tracks is a bit slower now.
Thanks to Ashley Hinton for pointing this out.
- Thanks to David Hawthorn, Stuart Allen, and Ashley Hinton - from these
mails I managed to work out what the 'pressing RETURN causes a pause' bug
was.
- And thanks to everyone who said thanks!
Version 1.0 -> 1.1
------------------
- The program can be started and stopped properly from the Workbench. There's
no need for scripts or IconX or any of that rubbish. Instead you just click
on the icon the first time to run it and again to remove it.
- From the shell, if you run the program the first time it starts and if you
run it again it stops (similar to the Workbench). There's no need to mess
around with CTRL-C or BREAK any more (but they still work though).
- You can drag it to WBStartup and it works properly too. You can even get
rid of it later as well. Hurrah.
- You can choose to have a display of what's happening to the CD (stop, play,
pause, etc...) put on the screen. It's similar to the display you get at
the bottom right of the screen when you play CD+Gs on the CD32. It stays on
the screen all the time (even if you flip or drag or autoscroll screens).
- Loop works properly now.
- CDs with mixed data and audio tracks work better on the CD32 and work on
the Archos.
- When the drive door is open and eject is pressed, it closes (suggested by
John Middleton, probably his most useful thought so far this year...).
