Hi

I am in urgent need of help regarding The Player. I need to have i play packed samples, but for some reason, when I exit my intro the screen turns black. This does not happen when playing "normal".

In my main function I specify:


When I then exit the intro, I specify


Anybody with any experence? I have not changed any settings. I have just converted my .mod with Delta and Pack Samples set, and then I want to replay it. The music starts and stops fine, but leaves me with a black screen. And this only occurs when playing with the above settings. Modules that are not converted with Pack Samples work fine, and everything exits correctly.

Fuck missed something:

The version is use seems to be 610.6. That is at least the version listed for the .asm file in the Source folder

You just need to point A2 to the buffer to decompress the samples into before you call P61_Init.

Thanks for the hint.I will try it tomorrow morning.Could you also give me a clue regarding the buffersize?Forgive my lameness,but I don't have knowledge regarding such music stuff.

Ok, tried it and things are working with packed samples now! Thanks for leading me in the right direction, ZeroBlue! I still need to figure out a way to determine the size of the samplebuffer. I have set it very high now, but it should be possible to calculate it somehow. I had to use some trial and error. Buffersize too small = blinking yellow box in Asmone :-)

I only have 1 sample, which clicks a little bit, but I'll just try to skip it. But it seems that I can find the 9k's which I am missing currently.

You need to put your samplebuffer in a bss_c area like:


And to use the player with packed samples, type:

Ah, Blueberry had some simple solutions to determining the buffersize.

doesn't p61con write that kind of info (along with usecode) in the file comment?
