Hi guys, I saw this OPL3 tune on youtube and as I think it's good, I would like to share it with you. B-) Maybe someone can make a ADLIB player for OPL4 on MSX, that would be cool, don't you think? B-)

I like oldskool FM tunes ;-)
Still waiting for the next beta of MoonSound Music Studio. Hope it has dual support for FM and Wave! Maybe it can import ADLIB files... (request)

What are the most popular ADLIB music formats? Are there file-format descriptions available? players for modern PC?

It used to be a big mess, from what I remember. Perhaps some register dump could be compiled from DosBox or so, in the lines of YM files.

@NYYRIKKI:

- Info about the CMF music format
- Info about the IMF music format

AdPlug can play a plethora of other formats, and it's possible to look into its code.

A OPL3 or OPL4 cartridge will be required for 100% compatibility, but the MSX-Audio is probably able to play most of the tunes just by ignoring the wave-select commands.

PS: If you do it, please try to use the MSX-Audio BIOS. ;)

Yes, I vote for MSX DRO-player as well... Other formats can be converted to this although it might not be very RAM-friendly.
