Octamed conversion help

Cope Uk · 09 January 2007, 02:44

I have a song which is in med format and have tried to open it with med sound studio and it just crashes, it plays fine if I open it as a soundstudio executable file. Is there any software to convert it over to mod format?

Zetr0 · 09 January 2007, 03:25

hmmmmies....

Try opening the file in Octamed 4/5 or 6 see if that works... once opened you can then save out as any format you wish...

I had a lot of trouble with OLD med formats on my PC version of Octamed SS so I just booted up an old version in WinUAE and then saved out the files...

Not sure if that would work as the song is ripped from a demo and it saved as a med file into the winuae directory. Wouldn`t the song have to be on a disk adf?

heys Cope UK,

Welcome to the EAB, i am sure you will like it here

okies...

If you have a working workbench install running under WinUAE you can load Octamed 4/5 or 6 and from that load in the med file.

to give workbench and obviously octamed access to the file, in WinUEA >> Add Harddives menu, add the pc directory to the list as another hard disk.

all should be good

It should work with OctaMed SS...

Just upload it to the zone and I´ll try it on my real Amiga.

Cope Uk · 09 January 2007, 16:27

Ok can`t upload it to the zone as says i don`t have access to the zone

Med file uploaded to the zone, Thanx for the link. The file is called justice.med

viddi · 09 January 2007, 17:33

Okay.
I´ll check it tom. morning when I´m back home.

viddi · 09 January 2007, 17:35

Ah yes, and a warm welcome to EAB

viddi · 10 January 2007, 11:24

Well, your file is corrupt!

Windows says it´s a .tif image and I can´t read it with OctaMed SS and older versions on my Amiga.

Please upload it once again.

Or say what demo it is ripped from and maybe someone already has a working copy?

Cope Uk · 22 January 2007, 13:37

its from the some justice aga demo

Coagulus · 22 January 2007, 20:01

http://amp.dascene.net/home.php - if you do a search for some justice it comes back with two modules a MOD and a MED. Maybe one of them is it?

ant512 · 23 January 2007, 20:22

I ripped that MED ages ago. Upped to the zone.

Cope Uk · 29 January 2007, 03:18

Ok I`ve got the file and playing fine in med soundstudio. Can`t figure how to get it to mod. Any ideas? It will only let me save as a med file.

Try ModPlug Tracker.

Code:

The player supports a variety of module music files in both native and compressed (ZIP/RAR/LHA) formats:

    * .669: UNIS 669, 669 Composer modules
    * .AMF: Asylum / DSMI modules
    * .AMS: Velvet Studio AMS 1.x modules
    * .DBM: DigiBooster Pro modules
    * .DSM: DSIK internal format modules
    * .FAR: Farandole Composer modules (beta)
    * .IT: Impulse Tracker modules
    * .MED: OctaMed modules
    * .MDL: DigiTracker 1.x modules
    * .MOD: ProTracker modules (4-32 channels, 15/31 samples)
    * .MOL: Module lists, compatible with MOD4WIN
    * .MTM: MultiTracker modules
    * .NST: NoiseTracker modules
    * .OKT: OktaLyser modules
    * .PTM: PolyTracker modules
    * .S3M: ScreamTracker III modules
    * .STM: ScreamTracker II modules
    * .ULT: UltraTracker modules
    * .UMX: Music files from Unreal Engine 1 games (essentially one of the above formats in an additional container)
    * .WOW: Grave Composer modules
    * .XM: FastTracker modules
    * .WAV: Wave Files (smaller than 16MB)

ModPlug Tracker doesn`t play it properly.

OctaMED Sound Studio does let you save as a MOD. There should be a bank of buttons on the "Save" requester with names like MMD2, MMD1, MMD0 and ST (or SoundTracker, or something). Click on the ST button and give the file a .MOD extension.

(This is from memory; haven't used OctaMED SS in about 2 years, so I'm a bit hazy about the specifics.)

Hi there

Can anyone tell me the settings for WinUAE to get the Some Justice AGA Demo working? I downloaded some settings with the demo from http://amiga.emucamp.com/somejustice.htm

But whenever I try to load it, it tells me "Some Justice AGA needs more RAM"

and then a cursor

I've tried different RAM settings but to no avail. Used to run this demo on my A1200 with 8MB RAM expansion?

Anyone know?

If not, how can I rip the MED/MOD from it?

Cheers, Dave
