HippoPlayer v2.07

by Hippopotamus Design

Bug fixes:
- Continue on error no longer causes neverending load and fail-loops.
- PS3M buffer max size reduced to 32kB (64kB didn't always work well).
- Removed a bug in the font selector (no more memory and time waste).
- 'New' clears the list only if some mods were selected.
- PT fastram player bug removed (the one that jammed the machine).
- Timeout works with doublebuffering now.
- LhAed TFMX mdat+smpl loading with doublebuffering had a really
serious bug. Killed it.
- Another bug with LhA and TFMX removed. Probably caused crashes if
the length of the MDAT file was odd.
- Pos/len and NS/PS didn't work with MED MMD2 modules (I don't have the
format description!), so I removed them.
- ARexx command PLAY was documented misleadingly. Corrected.

Improvements:
- Little fixes and improvements here and there.
- Find files in list.
- Alarm clock! :)
- New music formats: Old Soundtracker, Hippel, Hippel-COSO.
- SID-info and sample name windows update when a new module is loaded.
- Totally new cycle gadget mult.choice requester with right mousebutton!
- 'Center name' improved so that doubleclicking is more easier.
- Option to show duration of Protracker modules.
- MED-player will try to allocate the serial port for playing MIDI
modules.
- New PS3M replay version: 0.951. Lot's of bugs removed.
- Moved PS3M into player group.
- Config file for PS3M, like the one in PS3M the player by Guru.
- PS3M Surround stereo slider.
- PS3M Humble and Friendly modes replaced with priority selector.
- PS3M now uses CIAA timer which doesn't cause serial stops like CIAB.
(The CIAB can be selected in the PS3M config if the user really wants.)
- New DMA wait routine for PT replayer by Peter Kunath.
- Changing scope will have immediate effect.
- No pop-screen-to-front at startup anymore.
- Improved LhA, LZX and Zip file indentification.
- Tools: WaitHiP, HiPlay, PSIDcomment.
- New MWB icons by Roman Patzner.
- New NewIcons icon by David Wiles.
- HiP.guide by Tuomas Lukinmaa.
