(this player was used by composers like Adam + Gilmore, David Whittaker, etc). In this case, also these commands + must appear: PLAYER, INIT, SONGS, and DEFSONG.

In this case, also these commands must appear: PLAYER, + INIT, SONGS, and DEFSONG. Player will be initialized as follows: + + lda #DEFSONG + jsr INIT + + in 1/50 intervals will be executed: + + jsr PLAYER + + TYPE B is right now exactly the same like TYPE M but this + distinguish is for future SAP releases. + +TYPE S - SoftSynth. Like type "C", this type is temporary, and is used only + for special type of songs, that where composed using program + SoftSynth. +TYPE D - Digital. In SAP file with this type, must be also defined commands + "INIT" and "PLAYER". "PLAYER" (like in type "B") sets address of + procedure that will be called in 1/50s intervals and (like in type + "B") must end with RTS opcode. INIT this time is a bit different. It + sets address of procedure that will be called (with number of song + in register A) to initialize program, but it can't end with RTS. It + should start playing digis in endless loop. In SAP player there are + emulated two ANTIC registers $D40A and $D40B that can help playing + samples. D40B register increases its contents each two screen lines. + D40A holds CPU till the end of actually created line. SAP emulates + Atari in PAL with disabled screen. It means that we have 312 PAL + lines, while each lines has 105 CPU cycles and 9 cycles of memory + refresh (114 cycles per line). + +Planned features: +TYPE R - Registers. In this type, binary part is not an Atari binary file. + This part contains values that will be directly written to Pokey + registers ($D200-$D208) in 1/50s intervals. +TIME xx:xx - song duration + +How to create .SAP file +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +First of all we need to rip music from a game or a demo and save it in atari +binary file. Next we can create text file with commands (described above), +then we can make .sap file by linking thwse two files. We can do that using +DOS command "copy", e.g.: + +copy /b music.txt+music.bin music.sap + +The file is done now! +If you didn't find that song in ASMA, feel free to send it to pg@pinknet.cz +with all needed information (see ASMA.TXT for detailed information).
