GP2X Why Is It Sdl_mixer So Slow Playing Mod Files?

[Puck2099]

Hi,

I were studying why relative big mod files were so slow in my Fenix port, so I have tried to load the same mods outside Fenix, in a simple SDL test aplication and I have got the same problems.

It looks that the song starts good, but in less than a secound it starts to go more and more slow and we are speaking about a 500 KBs file...

Do you know where can be the problem?

You can download here the test demo with the mod file if you want to see what happens.

Thanks for your help.

i have the same problem in theoddbots libs, starts normal then goes weird after a few seconds. try the HW accelerated libs, might be fixed in that.

I've tried HW accelerated libs, but even wav files play OK, mod files don't play at all :huh:

Try using mikmod directly. SDL_mixer uses it internally anyways.
