Video: Test of a new MOD player for Amigas with low memory
Musician, DJ and developer Ian 'h0ffman' Ford has published a video on YouTube in which he tests his new MOD player for Amigas with little memory, which is currently under development: it is based on Arnaud Carré's "Light Speed Player" (amiga-news.de reported) and in the example a 1.6 MB module is played on an Amiga 500 with 512 Kb chip RAM and 512 Kb slow RAM.
All samples are compressed with a 4-bit delta (see also "Delta coding" by Paul Bourke), which halves the size. Playback is performed using audio interrupts that stream and unpack data. (dr)
