Love the updates so far, when you are happy with it down the road a while, you should consider making a C64 SID player.. that would be amazing as well. Thanks for your hard work!
Hey 1.13 update looks great, It seems to really improve playback of many mods I have, but I did find one you might want to take a look at, "MagicPockets_intro.mod" while it plays back ok enough, it almost has a bit of jerky pausing going on with some of the notes in the mod (like it has some kind of 1/2 second pause "note" in the entire mod track. Maybe some other kind of oddity happening you might be able to resolve.. thanks for all your fantastic work.
I can only seem to get songs to be recognized if I put them into the "Demo" folder, is there anyway to make my own folder to keep them apart from from the main files? I tried putting mods in Data/user.xxxx.fi.outgunned.amigotracker {where xxxx was my userID number} and it didnt seem to recognize them.. ??? Can you elaborate on this maybe give some specific examples on how this works as I can't seem to get it working.
The directory is created automatically when you start the app, so there’s no need to create it yourself. You can also have subdirectories in the latest version and they’ll show up in the file browser too.
I restarted my playdate and it seems to have worked, the directory was there, it just wasnt finding the mod files I added, initially the mods I added were not showing up in the ram disk, now they do after restarting the device, thanks!
Love this player, but I noticed a mod I have (a favorite of mine) "mr. cox in mumbai.mod" has some weird playback issues, it kinda works, but kinda doesn't .. I know your player is still new and working issues out but wanted to throw this mod out to you as a possible test mod .. thanks for your work!

Does this support other tracker filetypes like s3m or it? Or just mod?
Just mod.
Got it. Any plan to support other file types in the future? Was be awesome to crank to some Unreal Tournament tracks.
Sorry, not at the moment. I have some concerns about performance, but also really just want to scope the project down to a manageable size.

Thanks, I’ll check it out when I have time.
Found the bug. The song should play nice in 1.14

That’s odd. It should have worked.
The directory is created automatically when you start the app, so there’s no need to create it yourself. You can also have subdirectories in the latest version and they’ll show up in the file browser too.

Great that you got it working!
I’ll add restart to the documentation in case someone else encounters it. Might be a weird Playdate file system thing.
Here’s what my Data folder looks like in disk mode. settings.json is created at startup and modplayer.cache when you load a song.
And this is how it shows up in the app.
This is awesome! If you would make it a real tracker, not just a player, I would give you my creditcard number :)
It sure would be sweet, but a full tracker is a huge undertaking. Maybe some day. :)
Love this player, but I noticed a mod I have (a favorite of mine) "mr. cox in mumbai.mod" has some weird playback issues, it kinda works, but kinda doesn't ..

Sounds like a timing thing. I’ll see what I can do
Turns out there were three separate bugs affecting the song. Works pretty well now :)
-> Fixed in 1.10
Nice thanks for taking a look! Will be looking forward to giving it a go!
