integrating AHX player in game project - how?

Tigerskunk · 23 April 2018, 13:29

Hello guys,

anyone any idea if AHX has some kind of asm code player for integrating in a demo or a game project, and if, where to find?

Thanks...

There are PC-relative binary players in the distribution archive, which you have to INCBIN in your source. There are also examples.

I didn't know AHX before, and it looks like a nice, C64-style, chiptune player, without the need for large samples. But these memory requirements look insane:

Code:

;---- ahxInitPlayer
;
; Inputs: a0: pointer to 412150 bytes of public (fast) memory
;         a1: pointer to   2560 bytes of explicit chip memory

There wouldn't be much memory left for your program, if you target a typical A500/1MB.

That's funny, I always thought AHX would make for a very memory-efficient way to add bleepy music to your game. What a shame!
You're better off using Protracker chiptunes.

Well, then no ahx for my future games

AHX is not very good for games, because need some (?) CPU time for sample manipulations. You can use THX replayer, which dont extra mem buffs. You can ripp binary replayer (68000 compatible version) from some old Wanted Team cracktros.

I've used AHX for many games on the Amiga, that I later ported with ease to other platforms (PC, Mac). I even used the AHX for sound effects etc..
