EDIT: it needs ptreplay library (http://os4depot.net/share/library/audio/ptreplay_lib.lha).

EDIT2: available on AMINET too (http://aminet.net/mus/play/imp3.lha)

nice to know, thanks for the report !

is it still in beta stage ?

@Lio

you can t6ry it dl'ing from here
http://cdlabel.info/app/web/imp3

it should autoupdate to latest version (an store it on RAM:)

give it a try it's like having as background audio, amiga xm/mod/.. on yor miggy/HiFi.

@jabirulo

Noticed a few issued, the imp does not look good in OS4 style, it needs to be promoted older look, not big problem.

imp3 retuned error code 80000, or something, when you quit imp3.

imp3 needs a icon, someone needs to design a icon for it.

@LiveForIt

Dunnot its internals, but suspect author is using gadtools.

I too get "unfreed signals", so hope he will fix such issue.

Not sure if initially it was intended to run only from Shell/CLI as it used some arguemtnes on launch.

Or feel free to add your own icon

@jabirulo

>Dunnot its internals, but suspect author is using gadtools.

It says BGUI, in list at right side, so maybe BGUI, or a mix.

V3.28

Not sure what’s going with “DISCO” button, but it crashes hard, they should maybe disable that button, on AmigaOS4.1 or try find out what it is going on. Anyway should be easy to remember not press that button.

"Minify" button also crashes, but you can be ignored, it will bring up bit squashed MINI gui. it looks like the button are scaled, but does not take in count the large window title on AmigaOS4.1, due to the extra large font size used as standard.

@jabirulo

Made some changes to whdload-to-euae to support imp3.

@LiveForIt

What kind of changes to work with WHLoad?!?!?
IMP3 works "fine" under AOS4,a lthough GUI is tooooo tiny, but functional.

you find it in change log..

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... tility/whdload-to-uae.lha

Something did not say in changes, is that updated some stuff to make it compile, it did not compile with latest SDK, some commands where removed from DOS, or renamed.

there prefs in IMP3, you select screen mode, pick lowres screen like 640x480, I also changed the font as topaz8 font don't look so good on squere pixels, i found nice bullet font with none bold/italic close to 8 pixel, think i picked 10 pixel font, the font name can not be viewed after its picked.

then I used "Screens" prefs in AmigaOS4.1 and clicked the Inser Open Screen button, picked the imp3 screem and changed GUI from "Like Workbench" to "Use Defaults", saved. and restarted imp3.

As for whdload stuff, i Pressed "Disk" button, pressed "root", until i found the top level, picked "!ONECLICK AMIGA FROM IMP" here you find WHDLOAD GAMES/DEMOS and MAGS.

@LiveForIt

What I mean is: why use WHLoad for IMP3?

IMP3 is "workbench friendly" program, not a game/demo.

AFAIK whload loads UAE, but AOS4's UAE port/version doesn't have bsdsocket emulation (or am I wrong?), that IMP3 uses for fetching/playing modules.

I’m not saying you should, but it’s an easy way browse and find stuff.

Quote:

It can open on its own screen too.

Not sure what IMP3 is, but its a fun program, to download and chat, play mods, and find & download stuff.

its not a stable program no, it crashes a lot, when changing tunes, and also workbench is unstable while using it, but the other day I had it running for few hours without issue.

@jabirulo

Quote:

no no, you don't start imp3 in UAE, AmigaOS4.1 uses petunia (68K JIT) to start imp3.
(WHDLOAD don’t work with network anyway.. As is none system friendly stuff.)

Well IMP3 downloads the DEMO or Game, then it tries to start it with WHDLOAD, it knows nothing about what happens next, IMP3 stops and waits for WHDLOAD to be done.

This when WHDLOAD-TO-UAE takes over.
(Hopefully EUAE don't lookup while joining treads, or stop at calculating bogomips, I try with different EUAE and see if that helps.)

IMP3 working here but I can't find a version of playsid.library that works witrh it???

Is there an version that works with OS4

@328gts

Maybe try to compile it yourself and or anyone else?

https://github.com/erique/playsid.library/releases/tag/v1.5

@Primax

It looks like you found OS3.x version of playsid.library, not the OS4.x version,
how OS4 libraries works is little different.
AmigaOS4 version does not need the JMP table, but if excluded the library can’t be used by 680x0 programs.
AmigaOS4 programs can use 68K libraries, but it’s not simple, you will need to create a 1.main file, or you need to call emulate function on the JMP table, quite inconvenient. And of course, its slower than a native PowerPC library.

@LiveForIt

If enough peole are interested maybe we can setup a bounty considering it sounds like it's not a quick fix

@328gts

I was pretty sure we had it, but it looks like a simple port / recompile of the Linux version

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... rary/audio/libsidplay.lha

Its probably a day of work to mess around with xml file and idltool, copy things around and format into a normal library
(I think hippoplayer also support that lib, so can be useful.)

That's good news! How much would you want to make it happen so we could muster up some funds ?

@all

I also tested the new version of IMP3 (Os4Depot) when I was bored. I didn't realize that Infinity Music Player has a long history and was created under 68k development.

My experience:

It's a bit bumpy on first launch....the tool/program starts in its own screen and causes glitches. A few settings, fonts and screen set to workbench and IMP3 works acceptably. It is unstable in every way if you play around too much, but most functions can be used, e.g. the databases and mod,s playing/streaming work very well, also the chat functions.

You can tell it's an Amiga 68k tool/program and it's not adapted for PPC AmigaOs4.1 Native. Otherwise pretty cool, maybe there are ways to improve the runnability of Infinity Music Player on AmigaOs4.1?

Let me briefly show you how my experience with Infinity Music Player was:

@Maijestro

Yes
IMP3 is a cool program for amiga clasic. I like Amiga clasic and NG.
Amiga 500 mini, pistorm and emulations gave amiga classic new wings.
Lots of cool stuff and novelties are created. It's hard to say but Amiga NG ....... is left behind.

Here you have my AOS3.2 workbench how it looks like, because I know you don't use amiga classic. I have of course a real Amiga 500 and an emulation
