At the moment I'm listening to the soundtrack from the game Zool.
Fantastic.

Hee hee Blimey it seems like a long time ago.

Currently only two players support our Mod-Radio, WinAmp 2 (not 3!) and latest DeliPlayer 2. We recommend installing both, following our Players Setup Instructions, please read them even if you have already installed both players. Support for other platforms and players are in work...

This is the only thing stopping me from enjoying these! (Im not installing either)

Why cant they put the files online that you can DL and listen to with ANY PLAYER??

[popper]

being such an "An Awesome Dude" you would know that theres masses of downloadable MODs on the original freeware (free as in beer etc before that linux thing even existed ) AmiNet for download, and countless websites covering all this real MOD retro stuff, but then, if you had been there at the time making these things, then i wouldnt have to point this out

try here for one such browseable MOD playing selection.

BTW, VLC will take these direct URL .mod files above and play the MODs perfectly fine if you prefer a stand alone player....

the .ADF files not so easy to directly play , but there are ways OC

Ah i just discovered the GAMES list and tried to DL one of the .mod files but none of my players would play it (VLC,REALPLAYER,WMP)

Are these the actual ROMS of the games? (Excuse me if i seem a bit slow)

WinUAE is your friend.
http://www.winuae.de/englisch/winuae.html
heres a mirror to start you of, but the links above should be all you really need to find all the legal ADF 900k disk images you might want to run in your Amiga Emulator, they were gifted for free distribution by the original companies in writing to B2R after they asked if i remember rightly, its been a very long time.

just use the links above and do another search on "WinUAE" if your running windows..., iv not tryed it in years but it ran my original 1200/picasso/2meg chip/2meg fast AMIGAOS 3.1 on a basic single AMD XP CPU at 2Ghz image fine many moons ago once i copyed my original ROM and hardfile image to the dir i seem to remember.

if that grabs you , you might also want to check out AROS Research Operating System the open freeware amiga 1.3/3.1 re-engineered OS that runs on x86
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AROS_Re...erating_System

actually i think it would make a very good middleware OS for the worlds STBs as its free, multitasking, open, easy to port to any SOC/CPU, and as light as your old amiga OS, that plus carls "Rebol view" is all the worlds STBs OEMs and ISPs would ever need, and OC way better than anything liberate middleware like or its closed source OS's.

AROS have liveCD/DVD and Nightly builds you can boot/install on your PC and run several 3rd party amiga apps that have been re-compiled/written for AROS....

"We need your help!
We have quite few active developers, which unfortunately means that progress is quite slow. We simply need more people to help us out! There is a huge number of tasks that are in need of a dedicated developer. They range from large projects to small ones, from hardware hacking, through high-level system to application programming. There is basically something for everyone that wishes to contribute, regardless of how proficient you are in coding!

For those of you who aren't programmers, there are still plenty of tasks that you can help with! This includes writing documentation, translating programs and documentation to other languages, creating nice graphics and hunting bugs. These tasks are just as important as coding!"

"Michal Schulz is working on the mass storage bounty, whose goal is "producing a DOS device that we can mount to use a filesystem on a USB stick". Michal has already got some interesting results, which he talks about in his personal blog. Michal Schulz is also still porting AROS to the Efika PPC platform."

.mod files are not ROMs but are basically like Midi files only based on Samples, last I checked they could be played with Winamp with a plugin

[Dude111]

it's possible to get winamp to resave the files to mp3 as well

Irconically when i moved a hard-drive to another machine I accidently stumbled across the Mp3's id taken of a few of them.

It's different to the usual stuff brings back memories.

Xenon 2 megablast was another one I remeber the tune to and while not amiga deus ex always had a good tune.

This thread 'was' nearly 6 years old,wtf, a record ?

[ShadowTD]

Ahhh mod files. Ironically, the best tracker program I ever found was WhackerTracker, which was on the Acorn A-series machines. Quite happy to do 8 stereo channels whereas the Amiga could only do four. Admittedly there were workarounds but they required quite a chunk of CPU time.

Xenon 2 was an awesome tune. So was Gods, Lotus 2 and let's not forget Cannon Fodder!
