PSF/USF music support.

[I.C.H.I. Znot]

It be very good if psf/usf music can be played.

Those are unlikely to happen without the source code for players. And they're either closed-source or, for the single one I found that was open-source, in an incompatible license.

So unless one of the devs feels like writing their own player based on specifications only, which one really should not expect, this is not going to happen.

Source for the USF is here (no mention of license though). It was in D64Ex.

If you look in any header, you'll see it's GNU GPL v2.

Not quite. There are actually two licenses at work here, since it uses code from two emulators:

Code: Select all

Then there are other files that don't state what their license is. Whatever they are, Project 64's license is GPL-incompatible, which means this WinAmp plugin is technically illegal.

To add another note about that player code, Kaiser has this to say about when he was experimenting with it for Doom 64 Ex.

for some reason it was writing into the zone memory heap, causing random crashes. Don't ask me why but it was happening
so you're just stuck with MP3/OGG for the time being until natt cracks down the music format
