TCAVE4K modified version, thanks for Istvan's idea for sorting character data to different order, another some bytes saved by compression, i could insert external joystick to controls beside internal joystick.

IstvánV has made an update for the EP128Emu, it can handle midi input. So you can play midi files on your PC, using the emulator! Of course, this uses the capabilities of the Dave chip. If you play a midi file, you can hear it through the emulator. As the Enterprise handles 3 sound channles and 1 noise channel, the midi file has to be modified as most midi files use much more voices. The most important thing is that István has also created a converter and player program, so you can convert midi files into Enterprise formats so you can play them loading into a real Enterprise.
Thus you can create music much more easily for the Enterprise! We know that a lot of people had problems with creating music for the programs.

What an abundance of rewrite/conversions!

On the other side, very good looking and addictive games.

MOD Player for Enterprise based on Stefan Drissen's MOD Player on SAM Coupé. The program is EXOS compatible, it recognize turbo machines, and based on the CPU speed sets the playback speed, on a normal 4MHz EP the playback speed is 9,2 KHz, one remark for the turbo machines, the player can set the playback speed by 2MHz step of CPU speed, for example 7,12 MHz EP will have the same playback speed as 6MHz EP (13,7 KHz), 8 MHz EP has 18,4 KHz. RAM expansions are fully supported, all available RAM can be used. There is 32KB free RAM for MOD's on an EP128, but a 32KB of size MOD can not be loaded, because looping samples needs additinal gaps at the end of sample, and the gap varies based on the size of the loop size, so it can happen one 24KB mod can be played on EP128, but another 24KB mod can not, on an EP with 1MB RAM expansion probably you will see Not enough memory very rarely :)
Controls:
Esc - load new file (file selection menu appears if EXDOS exists)
1-4 - turn channel 1-4 off/on
5 - turn on all 4 channels
6 - playback with Dave
7 - Playback with external 4 channel 8bit D/A

Great, Geco!

Now, with a cheap bus expander at hand, is easier to build the external D/A converter....

Are there schematics about it?

I think "playback speed" is not a good phrase. the better is "playback sampling (rate)"
Vigyázat! Szektás vagyok! :)

Thanks to Lacika, a new bug has been corrected in MOD Player, if a mod did not have empty sample then the player created it to wrong place, and overwrote code part, it is corrected in both ROM and file version.
Previous links have been corrected, and points to the new file.
