Oldplay - A Player For Old Computer Formats

[Kamiyay]

I know we have GMU to play MP3s and Oggs and what not, but it currently does not support these older formats. I would love to be able to play music from the actual games and while I know there isn't a lot of call for MIDI anymore, it'd be awesome if they could be played.

Oldplay has been ported to both the Dingoo and the original GP2X. I am still studying and learning to program, but I don't know the first step in how I would port this.

The source can be found Removed.
Edit: See my post further down for better source files.

If anyone could tell me if this was even possible or where to start that would be much appreciated.

I'd use it if ported.

Update: I talked to the_gama, the guy who ported Oldplay to the Dingoo, and he told me:

"You should download the sources from version 1.10 of OldPlay for Dingux it should be
compatible with the GP2X port."

Either that or look on mickets svn repository (but I think this would be a good enough shot).

The source code is [here].

I've never ported anything before (hell I've never programmed), but I am willing to give it a shot. Anyone know of a starters tutorial or something for compiling things for the Wiz?


Edit: Just want to add, I don't know c++, so I am going to have to learn it to do this. (Which I am looking forward to and will do). However, it means that it will probably take a LONG time to get this ported (I looked at the source, I don't know where to start so I figure I should start with learning C++. It's a simple answer).
