TMR Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 There's going to be sound parameter data in the tune's source file as well (that's where the source version of RMT's driver gets it from after all) but this isn't exactly an easy route to take either i'm afraid... if anything, trying to implement your own RMT-compatible driver will prove at least as hard as adapting the existing one. The easiest route is probably the one i don't think you'll be keen on; porting your existing source code to a cross assembler and using it's binary include functionality.

Synthpopalooza Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 An idea: RMT can export to SAP (Slight Atari Player) format, right? Wold this format be easier to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Luchs Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Good question ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 SAP files are, essentially, just XEX files with a header for the player to understand what it's dealing with; the bit you actually need is the same. The only way i can think of to possibly make this work is to have the assembled program yank the music from disk at start-up each time, but since i've never done it on the A8 (this is something we used to do on the C64 in the 1980s before getting hold of in-memory native assemblers) i'm not even sure where to start...

+therealbountybob Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ok, so I can't help... Thanks anyway, there may be other PC based coders who require your assistance? At least this was a learning exercise, at some point in the future I will look into this more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
