Oops, there was an error in v0.02, here's the new one:

Okay, try this version. I was right, and I should have rotated the bitmap data before creating the bmp file. Now all pictures come out right. Please show the outcome of the previous example you used to point out the misalignment!

SCROLL BELOW FOR THE RIGHT VERSION!

No, I believe those are also not right. I will check tonight.

That''s a lie, deve. Now don't do it again.

Well, thats just a minor problem, considering the effort that was put in the work. I think the executable rotates the imagedata. In BMP files image data is stored "upside down". I don't rotate the data, but just put it in the .BMP files. I'll see if I can change that in unTGZ when I get th...

I had to get some time, but here's the low down. I took a look at the assembly code and found the decompress routine. I then realized that it was standard LZSS compression. The executable uncompresses the bitmap data and fills in a BITMAPHEADER to show the actual .BMP file (not TGA). So basically, t...

I guess you will have to go to Watto for that.

Just for the record, that "Unnamed" person wasn't me. ;) But I remember we looked all over the house, to find him (perhaps he was just getting fresh beers :D), but then realised he wasn't in the house. We traced his footsteps (it was snowing at the time) from the porch to the lightpost on ...

http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3334&p=29821#p29821 Work on that thread and having the chance to hear those tunes again brought back some very fond memories of extremely fun Micro Machines 2 sessions with three of my pals during my university years.. . . :D http://www.xentax.com...

I've contacted Gergely, the man who converted those tunes to MOD ;) Turns out he has the converter and source code at his website: http://sgate.iit.bme.hu/patai/programs/ I've attached mus2mod at this post as well. :D mus2mod.zip Here is some additional info that he'd like to bring forward: The tric...

Oh and if you're looking for XeNTaX's C64 tunes: http://soasc.dirtcellar.net/ Search for Releaser: Xentax. Mind that you have to pick the right SID chip for the sound to be the way we created those tunes. The 6581 was the old one and had a number of revisions. The R2 and R4 were common, but had diff...

Just for the record, here's some of the soundtracks The Gee and I were referring to :D (actual C64 recordings!) Crazy Comets http://fonix.dyndns.org:40000/soasc/MOS6581R2/MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Crazy_Comets_T02.sid.mp3 Zoids http://fonix.dyndns.org:40000/soasc/MOS6581R2/MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Zoid...

Okay , a little update. The pattern information is sometimes similar to .MOD, e.g. 4 channel columns of 64 rows. (each channel is 4 bytes and in sequence). Except when the rows are mostly empty, Karl has build in some kind of compression. The rows are simply saved in a .mod file, but Karl was smart,...

Okay so far this is what I think the SONG format from Karl is: // SONG format (Karl Morton) HEADER Magic Word (4) "SONG" uint32 Offset of sample data char {32} Song name of 32 bytes in length // Sample information (1-31), sequential, 34 bytes in length char {32} Sample name of 32 bytes in ...

"PC Music/FX System" (c) Karl Morton 1994 That's the programmer of the tracker format. Karl Morton of Team17 (also of Worms 2 fame). This info is in the exe of Psycho Pinball. So you could stalk him if you'd like. What I've learned from the .mus file is that it is simply an archive contain...
