- Now Follows a Module List and some infos:
- [0] - Means it will only look for a 4 byte header and a few other checks.
- [1] - Means it is only deep search type.
- [0/1] - Means it is both.
-
- Pro/NoiseTracker [0]:
- What's to say?
-
- StarTrekker4 [0]:
- This will rip the non-commercial version only. I don't have
- it (hint hint :) so therefore cannot rip it. I have only got one startrekker
- that has separate sample data.
-
- Games: Chaos Engine Main tune.
- Demos: ?
-
- MED/OctaMED [0/1]:
- Will rip both types as well as MED4 it will un-initalise them so that they
- can be played.
-

- Beyond etc.

- SoundMon [0]:
- A format with both samples and syth-samples.
-
- Games: The Alien Breed-2 Special Edition from Team 17 and Dizzy.
- Demos: ?
-
- TFMX [0]:
- This is a nasty one to rip because you have to find the samples
- separately and they are usually not anywhere near the main part. Once you
- have found the samples using commands F and S the samples must start with a
- long word of zeros ie if you look at the start with the ripper's M command
- the samples must start with 4 pairs of zeros - 00000000.
- Once all this is done save the tune data as 'mdat.songname' and the samples
- as 'smpl.songname'
- The B and BC commands can be used to scan backwards to find the longword of
- zeros.
-
- TFMX has three different types, 1.5 which is the oldest and is now obsolete
- I believe, The most used is PRO which is a four channel module format. The
- last is TFMX-7 which is a seven channel replay and is commercial only.
-
- Games: X-Out,Z-Out, Turrican I-III, Apidya, Jim Power,R-Type.
- Demos: ?
-
- KRIS-4MAT [0]:
- Also called Chip Tracker is quite simple and is just a
- Protracker conversion. It can SOMETIMES be converted back but I Think
- it also has support for synthesized samples.
-
- Games: Troddlers, Dojo-Dan, Wolfchild, and the In-game tunes of
- Premiere
-
- Player 4.1A, Player 4.0A, Player 4.0B [0]:
- These are beta versions of a player that was distributed by the author to
- some of his friends and commercial companies managed to get hold of it.
- It is quite difficult to rip because it has to be un-initalised ie it uses
- addresses inside the actual module. IR will rip all of these including
- ones that have been relocated ie loaded into memory which is not the
- correct address.
-
- Games: Super Frog, Alien Breed 2.

- Hippel-COSO [0]:
- The Ripper will get The main part of the Tune ie the pattern data
- and will give the length. The samples length is also given.
- The tunes I have got ALL had the sampledata right after the pattern
- data so when you save after finding a COSO it will save out the
- pattern data and the memory after the patterns of the samples length.
-
- Games: Wings of death ingame and Alcatraz.
- Demos: ?
-
- SonicArranger(pc) [0]:

-
- Games: Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies.
- Demos: ?
-
- ProPacker 1.0a [0]:
- This has quite a story to it. The original was written by Azatoth
- of Phenomena. Then suddenly a new format called Hanni packer
- appeared and was credited to Hannibal of LEMON. But both Turbo and The
- people who do some of the deliplayers instantly release a player, not
- realising that it was just ProPacker 1.0a!! :-) It also a protracker hack

- Another PT/NT clone/hack/improvement.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: ?
-
- Demos are the main source of these.
-
- Promizer 1.x [1]:
- All Promizers are created by Frank Hulsman. This one he claims is
- quite tough to rip :-) in his docs for PROM1.8 it is PT conversion that
- contains the replay inside the actual module. It quite good in that it
- compresses a PT down quite a bit.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: The Flower Power Demo by Jester of Sanity.
-
- Game Music Creator [1]
- ANOTHER replay that is a Protracker hack. It too was incorectly Identified
- as Psygonsis Special.
-
- Games: Air Support.
- Demos: ?
-
- P50A/P60A [0/1]:
- These are the release versions of the Player. It is a Protracker
- Hack but is VERY good and Fast. It offers very good compression not on just
- the tune data but also 4-bit Delta compression which causes some loss in
- quality but can get a module down by over 50% in most cases.
-
- It can be converted with its own converter that comes with the PD package.
-
- Games: Banshee
- Demos: Full Moon By Virtual Dreams. Big Time Sensuality By AXIS.
-
- AproSys [0]:
- This is an odd format that can have (I think) synth sounds in it.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: ?
- The Tunes I have Came from the Program Itself.
-
- Tronic Tracker [1]:
- This is a chippy type format that was also incorectly
- Identified as a Custom mod until FOXX found out they were actually
- Tronic Tracker.
-
- Old Whittaker [0]:
- A synthesised player with the replay code in the Module.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: ?
-

- Might be from the Amiga Version but I have never seen it SO.....
-
- Delta Music2 [0]:
- This has the replay code inside the module it has samples only.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: ?
-
- I have two tunes of DM2 but none of Delta Music ONE (hint, Hint :) )
-
- NoiseRunner [0]:
-
- This is a strange module format because the tunes I have got give NO
- compression from a normal ProTracker. I think they are used to enable
- the programmer to trigger effects when a specific sample is played.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: The one I can remember came from Jesterday, It's the main tune.
-
- UNIC-Tracker [0]:
-
- This is one of Laxity's first attempt at a new format. It is a slight
- improvement over ProTracker in size. I also think it is used to trigger
- demo effects. It is now no longer used but can be found in some old
- Kefrens Demos. Sometimes it will have M.K. instead of UNIC. It will
- therefore be found as ProTracker. Don't Worry though just use a
- hex-editor and change the M.K. to UNIC. Do this if the tune does not
- play as a ProTracker and it came from a Kefrens demo/intro/slideshow
- etc.
-
- Games: NONE.
- Demos: Only older Kefrens productions.
-
- UNIC-Tracker2 [1]:
- This is Laxity's second UNIC tracker it is even smaller that the
- previous one it is also used to trigger effects.
-
- Games: NONE.
- Demos: New Kefrens productions.
-
- AMOS Basic Konverter [0]:
-

- I do have some Modules. At the time of Typing no player other that the
- AMOS one exists.
-
- Games: ?
- Demos: ?
-
- UPC Module [0]:
-
- This is interesting. It is by Dens-Design a group of demo musicians who
- write music for commercial games. Nothing can Play or Convert them back
- to ProTracker. UPC stands for - Unknown Protracker Clone :)
-
- Games: Cool Spot by Virgin. This is the Only Known source so far.
- Demos: ?
-
- Vector Dean [0]:
-
- This is a very strange format. It is used in games only and has two
- parts a Pattern Data part and a Sample Part. They must be saved
- separately the Pattern MUST be called xxxxxxx.SNG and the Samples MUST
- be called xxxxxxx.INS to be able to play them in DeliTracker.
- Insanity Rip will find the first part. It will then try to find the
- samples in memory it will give the address of ALL possible samples if
- more than one exists. The only advice I can give is try them ALL!!
-
- Save it out using the addresses given to you by the ripper
-
- Games: Cannon Fodder (Absolutely Amazing Music), RoboCod 2/3 (I'm not sure
- if other ones also use Vector Dean) Aquatic Games, Brutal Sports
- Football.
- Demos: ?

- I have no idea where they are from.
-
- Activision Pro: [1]
- AKA Martin Walker
-
- Games: D-Generation , Legends Of Valor, R-Type 2
- Demos: ?
-
- This is another yucky format with the player in the module.
- JTR will detect both the cut and uncut versions of this format.
- Exotic Ripper cuts off a few bytes from the begining of each module,
- this is quite pointless...
-
