Whoops, that url is actually a web page address, this should probably point to the actual binary file: https://github.com/koobo/HippoPlayer...poPlayer.group

Thanks to modern Hippo, i have discovered Timidity, which MIDI rendering is real good with latest archive on Aminet. GMPlay and real hardware through serial output also works perfect. With mod, sid, mp3, midi it is the one and only all around player now.

Hi ! Oops, I'm sorry for this dumb question. I must have overlooked sth : how do you get Impulse mods playing ?

I did put the Deli "Impulse" player in progdir:. SnoopDOS doesn't indicate any missing files. I tried the same .it mods with Deliplayer and it worked.

Cheers !

You might also need to copy "ImpulseDecruncher" to Hippo dir from the Deli archive, this is needed for IT v2.14 files.

@koobo

A few requests/suggestions if I may:

- I second Calabazam's request for different midi mappings if possible.
- Could it be that double clicking a track in the list starts playing?
- There's a DeliAY player, which is not as accurate as vgm2wav, but seemingly plays everything. Could there be an toggle option to use that for ay instead of vgm2wav?

Z80 Emul Player for DeliTracker does work as well but it does not play "all" the .emul/.ay files i have, it fails on ones vgm2wav plays, in fact for me at least it crashes on a heck of a lot, not sure it it plays some extra stuff that vgm2wav cant, but i suppose extra options (just like the various midi options we got, which is nice) arent always a bad thing just in case.

I don't really know what this would entail, so I can't comment. The current serial out midi playback was done by integrating with an available deliplayer ("delimidi"), which does the actual midi stuff.

For this there is a Prefs setting that can be enabled.

I remember trying this in the past but I don't remember what happened

Maybe another look would be in order. The current AY support came as a byproduct of integrating with vgm2wav.

@koobo : yes, this was the missing file, oopsie !

Hmm... Regarding using actual MIDI hardware... I noticed that I frequently had to "reset" my Sound Canvas because some settings were modified by the song (well, that's logical). I don't know if that would be feasible or even a good idea, to optionally enable to send an "init" mid before sending the actual file... hmmmm... ?!

Koobo,

Does Hippoplayer support playing of .wav files ?
If it does, there is an issue when playing via a prelude card. The system locks up.
I'm on an A2000, AHI 4.18, MHI, and a prelude sound card.

Other apps (amigaamp, some others) have no problem playing .wav files.

It does, but the previous version might have some issues. Try disabling MHI and/or AHI and see what happens.

Koobo,

You are right. Disabling MHI solves the problem.
The version I am using is 2.59 (Nov. 11, 2023)

Suggestions: Add the version number on the menu bar.
Double clicking a selection starts playing it.

There's a fixed group file which should prevent this problem in the above post (https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p...&postcount=681)

Double click can be enabled from the prefs. I'll see if the version number fits in the title bar
