There have been a few players that attempt playing those formats everyone loves, MOD, S3M, XM and IT. Oldplay did pretty well at S3M, MilkyTracker opens all of them pretty much flawlessly (but it's for tracking, so no playlists of any kind). GMU has been the closest thing to good playback (thanks, Wejp!!).

Cubic Player for DOS was the be-all of module players in its day. I was wondering how easily it could be ported to the GP2X? I've tried it in DosBox... no luck. However, I found a distribution of it for Linux (source is available). Here are the links.

Open Cubic Player website:

Linux version of Cubic Player:

Many thanks in advance for any info.

EDIT: Here is another site with some links on other variants of the player...

Oldplay > GMU when it comes to .MOD format (try playing the One Must Fall music through GMU.. Won't do in-mod jumps right!).

What would *really* be awesome is a port of XMplay to the GP2x, but that is very unlikely since XMplay is not opensource and not Linuxed yet, so... :/
 
Yeah, the most accurate player currently for MOD, XM, S3M and (older) IT files is Milky Tracker, a Fast Tracker II clone ported to the gp2x... now if we could get all of its compatibility in a player similar to Oldplay that lets you watch all the notes scroll up that would just be heaven. In its day, Cubic Player reigned supreme. I still prefer it to Modplug, XMPlay or pretty much any other windows/linux-based player.
