Gamebase Music Player? - Page 2

Belgarath · 14 December 2009, 12:15

I wish there was better players

the lack of any apparent progress in amiga music players is quite saddening and it seems no one is willing to do a proper decent windows port of UADE.

hello there,

i stumbled upon this thread as i have the same problem getting deliplayer to work correctly.

i use version 2.50 and have installed the plugins pack from eab server. i also checked the windows7 xp sp3 compatibility. but as already mentioned earlier, 9 out of 10 times the message "does not contain music or corrupt zip file" will even appear.

it would be great if you have some hints for me as i want to use deliplayer beyond.

thanks sputnik

Hello !!
Possible hint from personal experiences !
Some exotic amiga music format are bad handled by deliplayer when in LHA archives.
Extract them and ZIP them and voila !!!
Tell us if it's working for you !!!

hi

thanks for the hint. i tried but was only lucky with a few. also, i dont want to change the structure within gamebase.

loading from exotica sometimes solves the problem, too.

Here are my settings, and everything works fine. If you are on Vista/7, remember to set "Deliplayer.exe" (not "deli.exe") and maybe "DeliUI.exe" too, to run as administrator, and in Windows XP compatibility mode.
(right-click => Properties => Compatibility)

Belgarath · 11 August 2010, 13:45

I've got all 3 set as admin and xp compatibility, and it does not work properly
That's not to say it doesn't work at all, but if it needs any of the plugins in the AmigaPlayers directory it seems not to find them and it will come up with the "does not contain valid music/sound files" message.

I do not know any way to fix this.

11 August 2010, 14:25

well, like belgarath said, i also have set compatibility for all of the 3, still having the problems.

another question, how can i start deliplayer from an usb stick without having to install it in first place?

Both above links are broken...

... Where can I download the above files as both links are now broken ???

eLowar · 23 October 2010, 19:39

I can't seem to find that latest version right now, but I've added "DeliPlayer Plugins (2007-07-09).zip" to http://gbamiga.elowar.com/TorrentTemp/ for now. I'll put the latest version up as soon as I find it or someone sends it to me.

Thank you eLowar for your help !

If anyone can help eLowar with a newer set of Deli Player plugins, then we can all benefit from a newer set of plugins

I honestly can't figure out what happened to the file (I mean it was lost from the server when the HDs died, but I should still have a local copy, really)... anyway, I'm sure Belgarath still has it... just gotta wait for him to be around.

Sierra AGI plugin is missing from that pack too eLowar, although the download link in the above post is broken for that too :-(

Hi eLowar

Here is the Sierra AGI deliplayer plugin again as the link for it above no longer exists for those that need it:

http://wt.exotica.org.uk/files/players/EP_SierraAGI.lha

Install info:-

... Your going to need a de-archiver that can unpack lha files such as 7-zip. Once you have unpacked the plugin, you then need to copy Sierra AGI and Sierra AGI.AMP to C:\Program Files\DeliPlayer2\AmigaPlayers folder.

Here's my AmigaPlayers's directory contents, works with almost everything I want to listen to:

Thanks Hercules for the Sierra one, nice hearing Larry.

Did anyone solve the problem of Deliplayer2 working correctly under Vista/Windows 7? I tried the Windows XP compatibility trick but I can't tolerate that it sets the volume slider to zero whenever a new song is played. I hate having to adjust it back up to listenable levels every single time. Is there a decent alternative or hack to DelphiPlayer 2? The Amiga had the best game music EVER released on ANY game platform, imo. ~~~WAR, never been so much fun!~~~ Makes me wanna get off my big babyback bacon in this computer chair & boogie when I remember that.

I used to have this problem but now it always opens with the slider in the middle, not sure what changed. Check this thread. I have "Set Windows' Wave Master Volume/Balance" unticked.

edit: I never had the problem you mention every time a song is played, but every time DP was started, which is more acceptable...

Thanks. I found a partial-solution in that thread. Still wish DeliPlayer2 worked 100% correctly under Gamebase Amiga & Windows 7 though.
