* Another good reference for this task is the AIL library which has been recently open-sourced by its [http://www.thegleam.com/ke5fx/ author]. This is infact where XMIDI comes from, and it even contains specs. To find them, unzip AIL2.ZIP; in there you find A214_D2.ZIP, which when unzipped contains a dir DOC, which in turn contains ASCIIDOC.ZIP, which then contains XMIDI.TXT and some other files which might be of use (e.g. NOTES.TXT). | * Another good reference for this task is the AIL library which has been recently open-sourced by its [http://www.thegleam.com/ke5fx/ author].

=== Support for AMIGA Audio Formats: TFMX and MaxTrax === | |||

''Background:'' | |||
Since we're adding (and have added so far) support for different Amiga game versions, we need support for the sound files too. | |||
Currently we need support for following formats: | |||
* Desktop Tracker format used by music in the Acorn disk version of Simon the Sorcerer 1. [http://www.tribbeck.com/software/sonor/dtt/manual/appx_f.html Information] about the specifications of the Desktop Track format and [http://members.optusnet.com.au/wormmon/mods/ sample mods] are available. | |||
* MaxTrax support for Kyrandia 1. The Amiga version isn't supported yet, but [[User:LordHoto|LordHoto]] will be working on it when his copy arrives. A Motorola 68000 (short: 68k) assembler implementation by Joe Pearce can be found [http://amiga.emucamp.com/wt/files/sources/SRC_MaxTrax.lzx here]. It would be necessary to re-implement it in proper C++, naturally a must for this task is 68k assembler knowledge. If you don't have the Amiga version of the Legend of Kyrandia, there are [http://www.exotica.org.uk/tunes/unexotica/games/Legend_of_Kyrandia.html sample modules] available. | |||
* TFMX a (non-MOD) format used by Monkey Island 1. There is a [http://freshmeat.net/projects/tfmx-play/ player] for it already, which is written in rather poor C, also it misses several macros implementation. [http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=tfmx This] documentation may be useful, it isn't complete though. If you don't have the Amiga version of Monkey Island 1 you can use the [http://quick.mixnmojo.com/demos/mi1amigademo.zip demo] of Monkey Island 1. The main objective of this task is to write a TFMX player with all the effects and macros needed by the Monkey Island music tunes. Work can be based on the original - uncommented - replayer routine disassembly (Motorola 68k). | |||
