[RELEASE] GameMusicGear~MX Release Candidate 2.0

[silmarilion]

Hi there, i'm releasing an update to GameMusicGear, this version has some bug fixes and several new features .

For those who didn't know the app, GameMusicGear is a multiformat music player based on some popular pc players like winamp and xmms (and the nice gp32's oldplay). Please visit this link to see the old pics and info (Release Candidate 1.0)

Here is the ChangeLog for this version:

+ add support for 48 khz songs.
+ add new default 'greymax' skin made by maxo.
+ add display of album art found in song's folder (AlbumArtSmall.jpg, Folder.jpg, ...).
+ add visualizer selector in fullscreen mode.
+ add display of play time and song info in fullscreen mode.
+ add support for 32 bit BMP graphics.
+ add support for psp internal font format through intraFont by BenHur.
+ add in_cube input plugin.
+ add in_uade input plugin.
+ add in_sc68 input plugin.
+ add new vis_blast visual plugin.
+ add new vis_lyrics visual plugin.
+ add display of main volume graphics.

* fix rar (and rsn) files are handled correctly now.
* fix memory bug when playing compressed files.

I'm currently working on a c64 sid, wma and ym plugins, they will be available with the next version. Also the next version will include the realtime equalizer engine .

The main purpose of this release is to fix bugs and make optimizations but any comments or ideas are welcome. I have added sakya's 3xx kernel exception handler to this release, when an exception occurs a file called 'exception.log' will be created, so if you want to help please send me the file with a brief description of the crash.

Here is a screenshot of the new skin:




You can download it here: gmgear_rc2.0

Any comment, suggestion, idea please contact me at gama.coder@gmail.com
Well see ya!


EDIT2: I have finished the patch for the PSP Phat, tested it on CFW 3.90 M33-2 and it worked fine . To install just replace the new EBOOT with the old one. Link: phat_patch

[mohaas05]

nice! I love this app. it's more stable than the first one right because that one crashed a lot on my PSP.

[MiGs]

This is awesome. The only suggestion I can give would be to put in a N64 .usf plugin.

[silmarilion]

Yes, as far as i know it is a lot more stable .

And i have looked at the source code of 64th Note (Is there another usf player?) but it seems very cpu heavy , but maybe i'll give it a try in the future. But if anyone would like to write a plugin please tell me.

[thecobra]

wow nice release/update the old one didn't really grab my attention but this one did, i am about test it on my psp
-=Double Post Merge =-
i have a problem, when i try to play a song it just exit. the song is mp3 and i tested with outher mp3 player and it works fine but with this it doesnt?

[nicodemus82]

yeah, I've tried it on my PSP Phat and it just exits when u select a song
hopefully u can fix this problem cos it looks like a really nice music player..

[niobe]

I have PSP Phat with 3.80 M33-4 and my friend have 4.01 M33-2 on PSP Phat. When i try to play mp3 it just exit.

[silmarilion]

Mmmm, it seems like the old psp is running out of memory, have you tried playing a nes or snes song? Next week my brother will lend me a psp fat so i will release a fix as soon as i can .

Ah and could you set the debug_verbose variable to the max in the main config screen? It will help to get more info about the problem.

[Coolj]

Looks damn good.

[zeratos]

This program supports playlists?

[homeboy]

I test it on my psp slim 3.90 M33-2

when I open the music folder some songs have problem with filename, others songs appears just like a folder..?

problem solved with a single folder for all song

btw
amazing application and even improved since the last release!!
Thanks a lot for your work!!

hey thanks! I can't get .ADX files to appear for in_cube. Channel muting for .NSFs, ,GBS, for nsf's use unknownfile's winamp plugin, NotSoFatso with VRC7 tonesets (unknown.hcs64.com/pnm/notsofatso-ufmix-dll-04302008.rar). Awesome it is! Keep up the great work!

[JaX3RiR]

First of all, I have two problems here.

When I try to run the app from 4.01 M33-2 on my Slim, it crashes right in the start. I believe this is because it tries to load the intraFont from my flash0, but I have a custom theme installed.

Next I tried to run it from 3.60 M33 TimeMachine, and it returns to XMB when trying to load a MP3 file.

[nensondubois]

Midi's just become black when clicked on. Do I need to install something extra for midi playback? Some VGMs black out as well.

[RR99i]

Excellent app silmarilion! Yes, I get the crash as well on my PSP Phat, when selecting a song. But I look forward to future releases.

[silmarilion]

Hi there, just finished the patch for PSP Phat please go to page one to download

[nicodemus82]

thnx, I just tried it and most of my songs play fine, however there were a few that when I tried to play would crash the program. it also froze on me when I pressed the L1 button. overall though this is a great program and I really look forward to future updates

[nensondubois]

.ADX files also are choppy and crash.

[RR99i]

It's doing a little better on the PSP Phat. But some MP3s will give me an error message or just crash the app. When crashing, the app completely freezes. So I have to take my battery out to get the PSP running again.

I do know that CFW 4.01 M33-2 isn't supported fully with GameMusicGear MX. But I can't wait to test more releases. If you need to know the error message it gives, I'll type it out when it happens again. It's a lot of codes and so on.

[silmarilion]

Hi, first thanks all for your support . And please if you could send me the files that aren't working it would really help me to fix the problems.

[RR99i]

Here's the error message I get:

Exception - Address load/inst fetch
EPC - 09713440 / ++".text + 00F0F440
Cause - 10000010
Status - 60008613
BadVaddr - C630AC88

*A bunch of codes*

Press X to dump info on file 'exception.log' and quit
Press Circle to quit

Hopefully this will help, lol, I'm not sure what maybe causing. I'm guess the file is with "exception.log".

EDIT: I'm going to email you my exception.log, I believe that's the file you're looking for.

[RR99i]

Hey silmarilion! Hopefully you got my email. I want to help make this app was of the best homebrew music players on the PSP.

[steveliv]

i am also having problems opening/playing rsn files (freezes), and mp3 files (crashes). also the folder structure doesn't even appear unless i go into settings and change the skin to the last one. thanks for this great program, especially for the rsn support

[Thibor69]

Great App !!! but still very buggy. I am running it on a SLIM 4.01 M33-2 and Some songs play just fine and some just crash the app ... and some just play at a super fast speed. Here is the ERROR I get when it crashes:
