Hi all,

Those of you who follow the code discussion forums will know I have been working on getting libmikmod to compile using Mr.Mirkos SDK replacement. Well, finally the first version is ready. Compiled lib and also source available at:
http://www.pea.co.nz/gp32/downloads.php.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a preliminary version. Currently it will slow down your application because when you call MikMod_Update to update the sound, it will wait until there is a free buffer and then update the sound. I will release a new version in the next couple of days that will not wait like this (it will only update if the buffer is nearly empty). I post this preliminary version because I know a lot of people are hanging out for it :)

This is the mikmod library compiled for use on the GP32. Originally updated by aj0, but rewritten by me to support Mr.Mirkos SDK, and updated to mikmod3.2.0 beta2 (fixed some loaders I think). It is capable of playing many different types of mod-style music formats, and is very easy to use. It supports 669, amf, dsm, far, gdm, imf, it, med, m15, mod, mtm, stx, s3m, ult, uni and xm formats, as well as simultanious samples. The maximum number of voices can be set at run-time, so you can limit the load :) - for more info, read the docs (included in both zips).

Small example code included on download site.

Hope it helps grow the community,
Pea
 
Hi pea,
First of all thanks for making this release, it'll be so usefull :)
Now I'm using gamepark's SDK, so I think i'll need to use MrMirko's to use libmikmod, right? So, maybe this is a stupid question... Can I use the official SDK and MrMirko's at the same time? :unsure:
cheers
 
Yes you can, but if I were you, I'd just use Mirko's SDK instead. It is better documented and faster, and has more functions. The easiest way to set up a GP32 dev environment is with his toolchain of GCC 3.4.0 and his SDK.
