Licks Media Player Alpha 2

***wraggster*** · February 7th, 2007, 19:51

Lucas has took over the discontinued Licks Media Player Project, heres what he posted:

I got myself a DS last month, and a flashcart last week... Looking through the projects, I liked Licks Media Player (ipod-like player) very much, but unfortunately it was discontinued

So... I just decided to finish it . In the end, it became a complete rewrite. No more C++, only pure C. At ths time, I only have some basic functionality, WAV playback (files must end in .wav) and libmad playback (files must end in .mp3).

There's 3 different play modes, mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3 SELECT alternate between these modes, but you have to PAUSE/UNPAUSE so the mode will be applied. If you happen to test, please, send feedback on which one you think sounds the best. (these modes basically do some linear oversampling, just like moonshell).

I'm labelling this alpha2 version, it's still very experimental.

New feature: playlist support. Some bugfixes and some rewrite in the graphics code.

For using playlists, you MUST use relative paths, no absolute paths. Also, you CAN'T use ".." in your paths (e.g. /abc/d/../e).

I've moved to more common .zip files for the precompiled binaries, so no more confusion!

jhg, patch it with the Max Media DLDI patch file. This new version has DLDI support, so it should work.

And by the way, as of an hour or so ago, this thread is outdated. Alpha 3 is now available. Download link is at that GBAdev thread you find when clicking his name.

Hold A+B when starting to disable the ID3 tags, which helped one person resolve a similar issue. Check out the thread at GBAdev, as a new version has been released that disables ID3 by default, though you can enable it at bootup if desired. Info is on page 9 of the GBAdev thread.

Go to the GBAdev thread, which will link you to a place to download the latest version. Patch it with the M3 Simply DLDI file and place it on your card. Your music can be anywhere, as this player scans your entire card for music when starting.
