Still work in progress. Like WYZ format.

The Arkos replayers use compiled data format for the music for optimization purpose ; it make it difficult to handle in C.
I have 2 ways to explore :
- Change my Build Tool to allow to compile music data (I'm not a big fan of this solution)
- Modify the replayers to make data use relative address offset (like many other formats) so that the data can be independent of the program

EDIT: BTW, I haven't tested it yet, but mvac7 already has a WYZ replayer for SDCC : https://github.com/mvac7/SDCC_WYZplayer_Lib

Ok yes, it's not the easiest format to integrate. For RoboPlay i'm currently trying to create an implementation full in C for it, but still have to see how well it works (especially the performance).

But for now i'm going to try your library for sure, it already contains quite a complete set of functionality

Is there documentation available somewhere? Or do we have to study the example files to see what's possible?

Yes I've seen that, but that's simply a "how to start" page. Not the full documentation of the library.

For the moment, the documentation is very basic. ^^
In addition to the site given by ARTAG, there is the listing of the functions prototype available there: MSXgl/engine/doc/html/index.html.

OK... did everything as mentioned on the start page. Opened a command prompt, went to the samples directory, started the build script and tried to compile the first sample. This is what I got:

It could be a path problem to the compiler... Have you installed SDCC v4.1.12 ?
In case, have you tried to compile the samples?

Can you please give the path you enter in default_config.cmd ?

Or better, send me the "vars.txt" created by set > vars.txt
