Multiplayer 5.00 was not released yet. This package contains all external
utilities included in original Multiplayer package.
All programs requires a 386 having 2MB RAM, except MPLAY286 needing a 286
processor having 1MB RAM.
- DGSMIXER: a SoundBlaster Pro is required to use this Multiplayer-like
mixer.
- DPMIPLAY: plays all kind of modules by using 386 protected mode, so all
available memory can be used for a module. Following sound cards can be
used:
1. SoundBlaster
2. SoundBlaster Pro
3. SoundBlaster ASP/16
4. Pro Audio Spectrum
5. Aria Sound Card
The DPMIMEM variable indicates how much memory should be seen for the
internal DOS Extender. For example:
SET DPMIMEM=MAXMEM 1200
will set the available memory to 1.2MB.
The DPMISWAP variable indicates the amount of virtual memory to allocate
on your hard disk (in the TMP directory). For example:
SET DPMISWAP=4500000
allocates 4.5MB of swap file in order to add memory for your modules. A
cache can be useful in this case for playing modules without 'sound mess'.
- MOD2FAR : is a module converter. It converts all .MOD files (Protracker,
FastTracker or NoiseTracker) to .FAR format (Farandole).
- MPLAY286: Multiplayer's command line player. It runs on a 286, doesn't
use expanded memory, and requires following sound devices:
1. PC Speaker
2. Adlib Sound Card
3. Covox Mono
4. Covox Stereo
5. SoundBlaster
6. SoundBlaster Pro
7. Covox+SoundBlaster
- RAWPLAY : it will play 'raw' samples. It needs 2MB memory to work. Sound
devices are the same used by DPMIPLAY utility.
- STEREO : switch SoundBlaster Pro's Internal Mixer Register for Mono or
Stereo status
- TSRMIX : a Terminate-Stay Resident Mixer for any SoundBlaster Pro or
SoundBlaster ASP sound device. Press Left-Shift and F10 to activate it.
It can be removed by a TSR-remove utility (like CYC).
- WHICH : detects which sound card is installed on your system.
