- 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.
