######################### Config file parsing routine written by #- Modplay Config file -# Paul Sutton (P.C.Sutton@bradford.ac.uk) ######################### # The Modplay config file must be called Modplay.cfg # If no file matching modplay.cfg is found in the current directory when # you run MP then modplay will look at the directory in which the copy of # mp.com being run is in (So if you put mp.com in c:\bin put modplay.cfg # in there as well). # # All commands must be in lower case (that includes hex digits like 0ff2) # Where a number is required the default is decimal unless preceeded by a $ # Lines preceeded by '#' are comments. Remove the # from a command to # make it active # Colours may be # Black Blue Green Cyan Red Magenta Yellow Gray # Any of the colours can be preceeded by light or flashing # i.e. flashing red on blue, green, black on yellow, # flashing light red on blue etc. ############################################################################## # # Mixing Speed - 6000 (6kHz) to 30000 (30kHz) # 16kHz is normal for a 286 12Mhz + and not much is to be gained # by going higher # # 8Mhz - use 6000 for a mixing speed and it will just work! # 10Mhz - try around 10000 # 12Mhz - try around 15000 # Better - 15909 is Ok, or 22000 for bit better quality mixing-speed 15909 # 15909 normal mixing speed ############################################################################## # # Mixing Speed - 6000 (6kHz) to 30000 (30kHz) # When running a shell to DOS. If commented out then Modplay # just does 6kHz less than the mixing_speed above. Lower this if Modplay # struggles when you shell to DOS # shell-mixing-speed 10000 # 10000 normal ############################################################################## # # Default Output Device - the one Modplay starts up with.
