Bugs: Playing samples through Soundblaster has problems, I've routed them through the speaker for now. (Only a problem when in 's' menu). ** Whats been asked for o Driving Midi equipment, Real Spectrum Analysis, Graphic 'scope o Built-in editor [get modedit] o ARJ archive support ** Coming Soon o Documentation on the MOD format o Better command line stuff ** New in 2.04 o Fixed Stereo-on-1 port that did not work on some machines o Test of Disney output ** New in 2.03 o Fixed Volume slide (was ignored) o New directory routine - faster scanning, only 1 pass! o PGUP/DN now correct way round! o New help when playing a file o Displays program information by pressing 'v' o New routines that look at BIOS to find the address of your parallel port Now should work with non-standard addresses.

I don't agree with this really, its just as lots of people have said they cannot get MODPLAY easily. o Fixed bug that meant MP2.00á would crash if you didn't have a SBlaster and you had two printer ports (or your name was John). ** New in 2.00á (CIX/GREY/REL) o Can tag ZIP files. o DABS PRESS provided Soundblaster board.

Will run on 8Mhz machine but sound sloooowww. o Page numbers greater than 10 now work. o Autodetects and support for 'stereo-in-1' board o Fixed /q bug (used to clear a bit of the screen!) o Partial mouse support, lets you change dir, play and page up/down only o Now displays a 'o' for each archive as well o Fix which meant MP crashed if corrupt mod (MP128 didn't!) o OOpps - if you only had .ZIPs in your dir it would find only the first 25. Fixed. o Added support for 4 track Startrekker modules as these looked like normal modules but crashed on playback.

Shell now looks at COMSPEC. Can now play ZIP and LZH archives of modules (archive must contain only one file with a .MOD extension example - LVBRAIN.ZIP containing LVBRAIN.MOD). two files must be present on your path, LHA and PKUNZIP which are called to unarchive your modules (these can be batch files) ** New in 1.30 o If large screen resolution now displays all help on right hand side of screen, more room for more mods. o Added support for >25 row video modes o Moving up from first page now positions on correct place on last page o Now works out looping properly (I hope!) o Soundblaster routines that should work (but didn't) o Full Herc screen support o Can now play individual samples after pressing 's' by pressing 'p' o Can now 't/u' tag/untag modules ('T/U' tags/untags all) and then 'p' play all tagged files. ** New in 1.16e o Can now move around directories o MP * now stops looping modules looping, whilst they play as intended in interactive mode o Now gives estimated time display for each module o /o option for cataloging modules o User definable output port for Mono and/or Stereo mode (for people with D/A's on a PC bus card). o Does not crash if it finds more than 500 modules in a directory ** New in 1.16 o Module file sizes are now displayed o Elapsed time display when playing a module o Plays to Soundblaster card at any base address (210,220...260) o Times out if no Soundblaster card found. o Displays filename of Module playing in multi-play mode (MP *) o OOOOppps!
