Small .mod player?

[Mrwb]

Hi!

I'm looking for a _small_ sound system able to play mod/xm files without an external .dll file. I've been searching around for a couple of days now, with no luck All the ones I have found uses .dll's. Im trying to keep my executable at 100kb and with no external files, meaning the player shouldn't add more than 10-20kb to the exe. Could anyone please help me?

Thanks in advance.

MiniFMOD can play .XM files, is only 5k and comes with full source. You can find it at http://www.fmod.org. (Scroll down to the bottom of the downloads page.)

Although, it seems that is only available for C/C++ .

MiniFMOD was what I originally wanted to use, but I noticed, as you did, that it is only available for C++

Thanks anyway though

Guess I'm stuck at MIDI for the moment.

Try DirectMusic (part of DirectX) it does software wavetable emulation which makes MIDIs sound much better and it also has a tracker-like format. The music in Hitman: Codename 47 was all done in DirectMusic and it sounded quite well.
DirectMusic Producer is available from the MSDN website and DirectMusic header translations are included with the JEDI ones.

It is not finished yet, but plays some basic mod files.

MiniFMOD is translatable! Mind you... it would be a bitch. Then again they translated Quake 2, right?

Well it's easily compiled though. I've compiled a recent copy myself using Delphi 7. Ran great.

I'd actually like to see an openSource MODule playback lib in Object Pascal. I cannot believe noone has done this yet...

Thanks for all the relpies!

I've desided to use MODBass, (gives a 32kb dll though) or MIDI with DirectMusic. (At least until someone translates MiniFMOD. *hint hint* ) I'll keep searching around a bit though, and if I find something, I'll post here in case anyone else is interested.
