A very, very old project. In 2019, I converted the player engine to the Ad Plug 2.3.2 engine, just out of interest.

Features

• Pseudo-graphic interface. The player operates in text video mode, which makes it accessible for use on devices with limited graphics and computing capabilities.
• Playback speed control. This allows you to either speed up or slow down music playback, depending on your preference or needs.
• Playlist support. The player provides functionality for creating, editing and playing playlists.
• Supports the most popular FM synthesis music formats:
  • AMD (AMUSIC Adlib Tracker by Elyssis)
  • DMO (Twin TrackPlayer by TwinTeam)
  • HSC (HSC Adlib Composer by Hannes Seifert, HSC-Tracker by Electronic Rats)
  • SAT (Surprise! Adlib Tracker by Surprise! Productions)
  • SA2 (Surprise! Adlib Tracker 2 by Surprise! Productions)
  • S3M (Scream Tracker 3 by Future Crew)
  • LDS (LOUDNESS Music Format by Andras Molnar)
  • RAD (Reality ADlib Tracker by Reality)

The AD Plug engine has been modified:

• Adapted to 16-bit 8086 mode.
• Removed arithmetic with real numbers.
• Optimized functions for loading music from files.
• Functions for working with hardware have been rewritten into assembly language.
• Fixed a bug with volume control.
• New equalizer.
• New function for adjusting the speed of music playback.
• New function for calculating the duration of music playback.
• Other changes to optimize for speed and size.

System requirements:

• Cpu: 8086 XT, recommended 8086 XT Turbo.
• Video: EGA or later, recommended VGA.
• Memory: 510 Kb, recommended 640 Kb.
