Licks Media Player Alpha 2

[wraggster]

Lucas (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=12369) 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!

so this sould work on max media player?.. when i start it up it just goes to the ipod screen with the words starting..not starting!!

[TeenDev]

THANK THER LORD YES!!!! AN NEW ****in version hel ya b***h

[DanTheManMS]

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And by the way, as of an hour or so ago, this thread is outdated.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.

[tahtah]

its says its starting but it don't start it freezes at starting :S. can someone please help???

[DanTheManMS]

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.

[tahtah]

i STILL dont get it

now tell me in steps what i must do and wich one i need to download i got a M3 DS Simply slot-1 (v 1.01) with a microSD card of 1 gb.

edit: oh and where must i set my music in ??

[DanTheManMS]

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.

[tahtah]

can someone make a screenshot of his map how it must be done because it works now but it still freezes at startup and I tryed the A+B buttons :S...

[tahtah]

I used the DLDI R4 patch on my M3 simply and it works perfectly! It's pretty sweet good job!

[moisesmcardona]

I have the problem that when selecting music -> songs -> it freeze. does anyone knows how to resolve this problem. I am using an M3 Perfect SD

[Jan-H]

@moisesmcardona: Maybe you must patch it with the SLDI-Patch.If you have done this and it doesn't work, try another version, here

I know this thread is old, however to help all of the people whom are trying this on MMD. Remember, it will not start unless there is an MP3 file on the memory card. (That was my issue) I am not entirely sure whether it needs to be dldi patched or now considering I patched it before I experimented. I do no that you do not need to press a+b while loading it, and also you DO need to place an MP3 song file on your card or else there is nothing for the program to read. Hope this helps any future MMD users.

[pihh]

heyy! anyone knows how to make the lmp work in full mode? i mean with the artists ,album , video, photo optins ! and how can I create playlists for it?

[DanTheManMS]

This isn't an iPod emulator. It's merely a clone. Therefore, it doesn't have any images or photo options or sorting by artist and album and such, so you can't enable the features, as they don't exist. I think there's a version posted on GBAdev that searches through the mp3 file's ID tags though.

so this sould work on max media player?.. when i start it up it just goes to the ipod screen with the words starting..not starting!!
Same with me

[Cheatsurfer]

Dead thread I know, but one last note. I have an MMD, and I did end up patching the DLDI to make it work for me.

[Cheatsurfer]

Here's the thread (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=12369&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0), this one's dead.

[leehomm]

works great, really cool. thanks for that

[Sigma83]

None of these licks things have played the music on my supercardds one correctly. I've tried every version I can find. This one plays everything at half speed. Others sound like major distortion. This one also froze on me after trying to switch songs while one song was playing. Is there a version out that's truely stable?

[DanTheManMS]

The issue is more likely due to your card, as it works perfect on my Supercard miniSD once patched with the right DLDI file.

You should have known BEFORE buying the GnM, that it does NOT support commercial games and probably never will.

[Akoi Meexx]

Anyone looking at doing additional development on lmp-ng 2a?

I'd like to see dpg support and a way to create playlists on-the-fly, but I'm not at the point programmatically(new word, I totally rock.:rolleyes:) speaking to be able to do this myself. I mean, the source for dpg playback is available from the moonshell project, wouldn't it be possible to hamfist that into lmp-ng?

[Sigma83]

hah, i'd still be happy if it even worked on my supercard ds one or mini sd slot 2. Maybe my mp3's are at too high of a bitrate (terminology?).

[DanTheManMS]

For the Supercard DS, use Barni's modified DLDI file that supports unaligned reads and writes. For the miniSD, don't use the latest firmware's auto-DLDI feature, as that causes skips in the music. If you must use auto-DLDI patching, grab Barni's updated slot-2 Supercard DLDI file and rename it to dldi.scp

[jsnds99]

How do you create playlists ?????

[ChaoFan531]

when i try this out it shows the ipod and all but on the top screen all it says is Input:
if i need to DLDI patch it im confused on how to do that. ive tried it out didnt work out too well for me

[ChaoFan531]

forgot to add that im using MAX Media Player

[wiggy fuzz]

a small request - if anyone is using the 2GB microSD card from sandisk with the m3 simply/r4 ds slot one device can you please tell me what happens (does it load with the skins?)

whenever i use it i just get a black screen and some garbled fonts. it technically can still play music, though... i'm sure i did everything right, because i tried it with a 1GB kingston microSD card and it worked perfectly

thanks in advance

[Adrenalin]

did you place the folder that holds the skin file "default.zip" (don't unzip it) on your card?

[wiggy fuzz]

yes - like i said, it works perfectly on my 1GB card

[eliasx]

i have a question. i have a datel max media player and was wondering if it would be possible to run this or any other mp3 player while playing a game. i have a racing game that doesnt play music while racing so i thought there might be a way to play my music from my flashcart while playing the game at the same time. would it be possible. that would rule!!!!

[DanTheManMS]

Not possible, sorry. The DS has no underlying operating system, so programs get complete control over all the DS hardware once they're run.

[Freebird8495]

so this sould work on max media player?.. when i start it up it just goes to the ipod screen with the words starting..not starting!!
go to youtube and watch vids on it... i had same problem, now... i just cant figure out how to put music on it or change skin....... sum1 help!!!

[pokehh]

it works, but when i start the music it plays it all glitchy and not properly, what is the matter and how could i fi it?

[pokehh]

fix*

[falcon64z8]

Does anyone know how to disable the L and R buttons? I know you can hit select but that disable everything.

[bobinkaas]

[mediochip1]
