Hi,

just a small update. Based on the ps3msrc v313 by Jarno Paanenen there's now a PS3M replayer for uade supporting several PC-Tracker Multichannel mods.

Main goal was to support those non Amiga Tracker music files closely related to the Amiga Protracker like Taketracker, Fasttracker  1, Octalyser. (aka those stupid formats using the MOD extension but
not being stock 4 channel *g*) Replay of these formats seem to be ok, imo.

The replayer also supports other Tracker mod formats like Multitracker (MTM), Screamtracker (S3M) and Fasttracker 2 (XM) to some extend too.

Beware replaying these with the replayer might be buggy. (MTM and S3m sound ok to me, XM has noticable replay bugs, but I am no expert in these formats). Use a better suited replayer for these files.

anyway have fun,

Michael

When I first read the readme from AmiNet, I thought that FTM ment Face the Music, but it mean Fast Tracker Modules  :| 

I just had a glence at it. It is a CLI program with 3 decruchers  :) 

 :scared:

After testing xm, s3m and mtm and I ran into several replay bugs... (e.g. cpt-future-feinde.xm, ocean.mtm)

So, I'll probl. disable autodetection of s3m, mtm and xm for the next
uade release... 

Anyway, it's not recommended to use UADE for replaying PC tracker files
as I said before.

But if you know what you are doing, you can still play these file type. But you have to use -P and -M switches now.
