Jeroen Tel Music Drivers

Recently, I got my hands on two music source code drivers from Jeroen Tel. He gave me permission to distribute and modify as I please. So, I went and converted two of them to assemble with ASM6, since the original assembler has been lost long ago.

A note about these two packages. First, they are PAL and they also have a built in control to switch the tunes. On Alien 3, you have to press start in order to turn the music on and A to switch the tune.

Also, both of these seem to be in raw/beta form right now and have many bugs and don't sound quite right. Some of this could be from the conversion as well.

Well, check them out and enjoy!

Did the "Super Game" music driver source code ever get released by Maxzhou88?

Yeah, the source code is on his website. You can only look at his site via Internet Explorer. http://e.ys168.com/?maxzhou88

Cool stuff! Now get the Barry Leitch ones ready for release also.

You bet. I've been working on that lately. Some of the stuff has missing files and some packages you really can't use without the original hardware device.

which license can we use this under? is it just a look-but-don't-touch-license or as free as the mit license?

Unfortunately, it's not under any kind of free use license that I'm aware of. Jeroen Tel gave me permission to use this source and distribute it. His exact words:

Quote:
Because it says "Robocop III" simply means I loaded (any) source code and started doing the Alien 3 music without changing the name inside the source-code.

You are free to do with this source-code what you want... I don't have the original assembler... It used to be connected to a (then) 50.000 GBP machine on some PC... (when I worked at Probe Software Ltd back in 1991...)

But please feel free to redistribute the code to whoever you want, but maybe change the data to "Alien III" in the code "header"...

I'm still amazed so many people care about stuff like this... let it live on...

Thanks & all the best,

Now for some good news. I just fixed the problem with the Alien 3 driver and it probably operates as best as it can.

You can get it HERE

I'm going to be working on Bram Stoker's Dracula in order to try and get that one working right. Stay tuned!

Enjoy
