- DSM Player™ v1.04

-
- Registration info
-
- DSM Player is shareware $15. I am giving you a 30-day trial period,
- after that, you must either register or remove it.
-
- I am asking you to take registration very seriously, since, my plans on
- expanding it primary depends on how well this software will be supported.
- I realize that Macintosh is in a big need of a mod player like Mod4Win,
- therefore, I will do my best to create make DSM Player the best mod player
- on the market! Without your support, it will never happen.
-
- If you've decided to register, the procedure is the following:
-
- Once you mail me the form with the payment, I will send you a postcard back
- with your Registration Name and Registration Code on it. By entering these
- into program, you will unlock the coolest features in the Player and remove
- all these annoying shareware notices.
-
- In the future, I plan to release a MOD Empowerment Pack consisting of:
-
- 1. DSM Player™ 1.1
- 2. DSM Player™ 1.0 as Netscape Plug-In (allows you to embed the player into
- HTML documents)
- 3. DSM Engine FREEWARE
-
- You can find DSM Engine on info-mac mirrors already, and it is absolutely
- FREE. Use it any way you want in your software.
-
- I will be updating the player free of charge. Those who registered, will find the
- updates on any info-mac mirror, and you won't even have to re-enter your
- code again.
-
- DSM Player is written entirely in PowerPlant. Thus, I must say thanks to
- Greg Dow, the inventor of it, and of course Metrowerks, inc. Btw, best
- development enviroment for Macintosh, if you don't own it yet, I strongly
- recommend it, that is, if you're into development at all.
-
- Please note, that by supporting DSM Player you're supporting MacMikMod
- product as well, since, both program share the same mixer. Any improvements
- I make to the DSM, directly reflect on MacMikMod.
-
- What's new?
-
- The Mixer has been finally partially rewritten to PowerPC assembly,
- the 68k assembly version of the mixer is still in works, but hopefully,
- will soon be completed. A few bugs were fixed.

-
- Hints
-
- If you're trying to playback large MOD files and DSM Player for some reason
- fails to load them. Try increasing memory requirements for the application
- by doing Get Info in Finder.
-
- Since most of the 68k Macs do not support 44 kHz and 16 bit, I recommend that
- you manually adjust the settings to 22 kHz 8-Bit. If for some reason it still
- doesn't work, try turning off the linear interpolation.
-
- Some mods are looped internally, unfortunately, I can't do anything about it
- and thus, I am just going to let them loop forever. If song does have internal
- looping, it is up to you to switch to the next song. You can do that easily by
- pressing a <tab> key either from player window or song list window.
-
- Conflicts
-
- DSM Player was reported having troubles with some screen savers, and
- Kaleidoscope software. If you're experiencing weird crashes, please notify
- me and I will try to fix it.
