< REVISION HISTORY OF RMP >
-----------------------
Revision of RealTECH Module Player
Program : EXECOM - Stéphane Denis.
GFX : EXECOM & GUEN - (Stéphane DENIS & Romuald Genevois).
Sound System : Digital Sound System Interface by Otto Chrons.
*** --------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 1.19
New DSMI version !- optimization at the Party IV
for Gravis
Version 1.17 12/15/1994
Optimized display for 386 with new option FAST DISPLAY
(on 486dx², you won't see any difference, because the
displaying has already reach the maximum speed :)
New GDI, more colorful and bitmapped windows.
New mouse support (button attract) : much easier to
manipulater
Add icon Mixer on main view
Possibility to run RMP in 320x200 window in 640x480 SVGA mode
(run with -y option)
Renamed files as RealMP (not to confuse with Renaissance
Module Player).
fixed VESA mode bug (work now on most Cirrus CL546 cards)
Version 1.15 11/18/1994
Some optimizations and bugs fixed (again :) )
Urgh ! RMP has about 76000 C compiled lines !
But still beeing a compact program !
Database function . Useful for modules swapping.
Create a 4DOS descriptions compatible file (DESCRIPT.)
so merge it with DESCRIPT.ION. Humm quite slow ...
Few change in assembler code (protected mode ready)
Version 1.14 10/24/1994
More efficient file manager, can change the name of sample
we you rip it.
Now SUPER compact program ! (200Kb less in size !)
Some bugs fixed in SysInfo.
RMP.INI support
PC speaker is back ! use -f5 options.
Version 1.13 10/10/1994
New CD player, better than the old one. (But cannot found
enough doc about CDrom (still uses disassembled DOS cd player)
source !)
Version 1.12
fixed bug with drives (if your drive where A: B: C: D: Z:
RMP crashed. now fixed with drive selection moved with file
selection.
New mixer, rewritten ,handle stereo and fixed bugs with
SBpro and other sound card.
You can change the background pic.
New features : Notes Dots Animation !
Version 1.10
a lot a internal changes (in fact some routines were
totally rewritten. Optimisations for speed, memory
and size.
in debugging mode because doesn't work on some machine.
Version 1.06
Rewritten routines in ASM, more memory free
Version 1.04
You can re-read CD informations !
this method is faster than other CD player !
(in fact I read CD and try to open a file, and
this made re-read the CD audio informations !
Better security (_hardretn instead of _hardresume).
Version 1.03
New option T32VIDEO (yes, it's very fast but quite buggy yet)
Now can rip with or without EMS but not with the GUS
You can play samples even when playing the module
(played in SURROUND of course !)
Version 1.02
Rewritten program (more modular -> less compilation time).
Graphics has changed.
New realtime track data implanted.
Pan fixed.
Version 1.01
Hum ! you can run RMP with STACKS=0,0 if you want |)),
now RMP should work better on more machine !
Thanks to Philippe to lend me his 486DX50 for the week end
to test my player and find a lot of bug !
Size optimizations > more base memory ! |)
Nice ray traced piccy by TOAL KNOR ! quite cool !
Version 1.00
First official release ;)
a very small bug found in XMS manager (SI register)
could explain lot of 'plantage' of many computers. |)
so GIF loader can uses XMS and you can view 640x480 gif
(supports ACUMOS,AHEAD,ATIvga,CHIPS TECH
CIRRUS Logic,COMPAQ,EVEREX,GENOA,NCR,OAK067,PARADISE,
TRIDENT,TRIDENT 8900,TSENG,TSENG ET4000,VIDEO 7 and VESA)
(higher resolution release later (800x600 & 1024x768)
added -Bxxxx option for EMS (0:no EMs xxxx:size in kb)
added -Fx option for sound card detection see RMP.TXT
for more informations.
Period 1 - Programming not released
*** --------------------------------------------------------------------- ***
Version 0.99
Debugging for better reliabilty
New graphics (and faster)
More infos, better GUS support.
Maybe major bug who crashes some Pc (seen at Assembly 94).
Some optimizations for speed.
Version 0.97 01/08/1994
Optimized Windows routines (in ASM.)
Much, much faster.
Some optimizations for VirtualPage.
Better test CD_ROM and SB MIXER.
on a Compaq LTE20Mhz, a bug occured (starting with oscillos)
fixed. (try to avoid to use RMP on this machine..)
Fade volume fixed.
if you run RMP with STACKS=0,0 in you config.sys, RMP will
crashes due massive number of procedure.
RMP is really not compatible with Windows 3.11 or below.
Critical error support (but not very reliable yet).
big beta testing at ASSEMBLY '94 in Finland (Helsinki)
some hangs and some bug to fix for GUS
Version 0.96 07/14/1994
Vga flick bug fixed on some video card. (hope |( )
added flick switch (in EXTERN menu).
INT24 interception for hardware error.
Version 0.95 07/07/1994
Sprite optimized for 32 bit (+20% faster MOVSD used ).
filledBox optimized for 32 bit (+20% faster STOSD used).
Directory / Drive support.
IntroScan.
FLI support (work fine but on my CD ROM ....).
Video Card automatic detection (18 video cards !).
SVGA GIF (but requires a lot of memory maybe for 32bit
version of RMP.
