Tracker music support for ngdevkit? #109

Open NeoGeoFreak2004 opened 3 months ago

NeoGeoFreak2004 commented 3 months ago

Hey there, so anyways I was wondering, does ngdevkit support .mod files(tracker music files)? Why do I say this, well I’m trying to make a demo where I can play music but in mod format so how do I include it in the code + does it support .mod files?

I have started implementing support to play back Furnace modules.

Furnace is an open source chiptune tracker that support ym2610, and ngdevkit converts those .fur modules into an internal/pre-compiled format suited for the z80, called NSS.

The support has landed very recently, it's still incomplete, but sufficient to play back ADPCM, FM and SSG channels. Unfortunately there is no doc just yet, and the accompanying example has not landed in ngdevkit-examples. It should arrive by next week.

It just so happen that another ticket tracked music support in ngdevkit, so I added https://github.com/dciabrin/ngdevkit/issues/103#issuecomment-2010915540 to give a brief idea of how that would work and where to see it in action.
