MTPng - MegaTracker Player, the Next Generation
Version 4.3 ------------------- October 7, 2000
-----------------------------------------------
MegaTracker Player (MTP or MTPng) is a program which will play most
Apple IIgs SoundSmith and MegaTracker songs on your more modern
computer. Higher playback quality than the real hardware is possible -
MTP does not emulate the IIgs or it's 5503 chip and instead is a
fairly standard tracker player similar to MikMod with the exception
that it supports the IIgs formats. (the output module interface
is extremely similar to MikMod's to make porting easier).
System Requirements
-------------------
On Intel-based hardware a fast Pentium-class or better PC is required.
Good results should be achived with a Pentium 133 MHz or better system;
things may be iffy below that. On non-Intel systems I would guess at
least a 100 MHz CPU.
The program will compile and run properly on LinuxPPC, but the sound
output seems to be wrong right now. If someone can fix this please
let me know.
MTP should at least compile on any Unix-like system with the Open
Sound System (OSS) sound APIs. This includes nearly all versions
of Linux, as well as FreeBSD. MTP should properly detect and
handle big-endian (PowerPC, Alpha, etc) systems. I believe
but cannot test that it's 64-bit clean and would work OK on
Linux/Alpha and IA-64.
How to Install
--------------
Follow the same instructions for MTP as you would any GNU-style
package. Specifically, unpack the archive and do the following:
./configure
make
(become root if necessary before the next step)
make install
