             VGM Amiga Player by Anouk

DESCRIPTION

MDGME060 is a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis VGM and VGZ music player for
classic Amiga computers. It uses a 68060-optimized Game_Music_Emu engine
and plays stereo audio through AHI. VGZ files are decompressed at load
time. No music conversion is required.

REQUIREMENTS

- AmigaOS 3.x and a full Motorola 68060 with FPU.
- AHI version 4 or later, configured on Unit 0.

Playback requirements at 22050 Hz:

  Fast:      MC68060 at 50 MHz - smooth playback.(not accuracy FM filter)
  Original:  MC68060 at 75 MHz - smooth playback.

44100 Hz needs additional processing time. (Vampire, PiStorm, BigMig or
any AmigaOS4 PPC machines via Petunia.)

USAGE

Open...   Select one or more .vgm or .vgz files (up to 128 entries).
          The list is replaced and the first selected file starts playing
          automatically. Opening the requester stops current playback.

Play      Play or restart the selected song.

Double    Double-click a song in the list to play it directly. A single
          click selects a song without starting it.

Pause     Pause/resume playback. Already queued audio finishes first, so
          pausing can take a short moment. The decoder position is kept.

Stop      Stop playback and release the AHI audio device.

Esc       Stop playback and leave the window open.

Close     Close the window to stop playback and exit.

Songs repeat until stopped. There is no default playback time limit and
no automatic advance to the next playlist entry.
