Module Player Test - Amiga 500

Test of a new Amiga module player which streams compressed sample data.

insane like every time

This slaps so hard that I am black and blue. Only H0ffman makes it possible 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@SammYLightfooD]

Now tell a young coder "I just wrote a routine to make it possible to play a music file which is bigger than available ram. " "Wow, how big is that file?" "1.5MB" ;) Well done btw...

[@HoffmanYouTube]

Gotta love modern day programming, 1.5MB of data is considered a grain of rice but the demo scene cram a cinematic masterpiece in 64kb :D

@@HoffmanKZbin As an embedded dev that often has 128 BYTES or less of RAM to work with, I can appreciate that sentiment. If modern-day development was done with the same eye towards making the most of the available resources, we'd have some fricking incredible software. Great work, my friend.

what the hell :0

Freaking bonkers that is.

The last time I saw a 'shoehorn' being put to this level of use, was in the slideshow part of the first BUDBRAIN Megademo. Truly excellent! ; )

[@Mahenounet]

Yeah, super thrilled, great job Hof !!

Amazing hoffman!

[@DarnGeek]

Would be very interested to see how you would make a module player like this, been making a few attempts myself, and its certainly a challenge...

[@HoffmanYouTube]

Will do a little run down in the stream this week

[@thecappeningchannel515]

Damn❤

[@hellihjb]

Very interesting. Maybe you can also create a histogram with which sample-blocks are used when and keep them in chipmem for a while when they're expected to be reused. Won't bring much benefit for the vocals but probably for the more general samples.

[@DJChrisFury]

amazing.🎶🔊😃

[@DutchRetroGuy]

This is awesome 😎

[@martenrange1940]

Very hype.

[@JimLeonard]

Love this. Are all samples compressed this way, or just the vocal samples? Are any samples getting mixed together in software, or is all playback hardware DMA?

[@HoffmanYouTube]

All samples are compressed. It's all driven by dma and cpu. While the DMA is playing the current buffer, the next is unpacked. When the DMA runs out, the buffers get switched, rinse and repeat.

good

[@tayzzed]

Wow

[@Inphonik]

Damn… 😎

[@polterding852]

Awesomesauce! .adf of this demo available to check out on the real deal? nice font too btw. :-)

[@HoffmanYouTube]

Not yet. Nova demo party is coming up so I'll see if I can wrap a demo around it.

[@d0dge947]

Somebody, stop this man! :D

Have you used udio to make the song? The lyrics are udio cheese lol,
