This is a port of oldplay, a multiformat music player originally released for the gp2x by sasq
and micket.

For the gcw0 port, I merely recompiled the dingux sources, but decided to make a couple of
significant changes:

I have finally added a working psf plugin using the upse library and a gsf plugin using
viogsf sources, which is based on vbam. The psf plugin sounds great, it uses Neil Corlett latest
spu engine, the same used by kode54 in his foobar plugins.

And finally fixed the dynamic version of the app, which loads .so plugins. Now the main app is a
lot smaller in size and plugins can be easily added or removed without recompiling the main application.

Please read the readme.gcw0 file for more information.

Changelog:

VERSION 1.35 GCW0 (OpenDingux)
* Added psf2 plugin based on Highly_Experimental library by Neill Corlett.
* Added ssf/dsf plugin based on Highly_Theorethical library by Neill Corlett.
* Added wsr (Wonder Swan) plugin based on in_wsr plugin for Winamp.
* Added opus plugin.
* Added 2sf plugin based on vio2sf sources.
* Implemented basic function to play all songs found in same folder.
* Extension handling is not case sensitive anymore.
* Updated Game_Music_Emu library with latest commits by kode54.

VERSION 1.34 GCW0 (OpenDingux)
* Added psf plugin based on upse library.
* Added gsf plugin based on viogsf plugin.
* Added new sid plugin based on sidplayfp library, which handles
  resid files.  RESID filter is used because RESIDFP emulation seems
  too much for the zero. (RESID sounds great too).
* Fixed dynamic loading of plugins (.so)
* Removed 'obsolete' plugins (musepack, wavpack, ape). (*)
* Reduced size of uade plugin, removing unnecessary opcodes from
  emulator.
* Updated game_music_emu plugin with latest Game_Music_Emu version from
  kode54. Who added lots of nice features to the library.
* Updated File_Extracor library with latest version, for better handling
  of zip, rar and 7zip files.
* Updated sc68 plugin with latest svn version.
* Updated mpg123 plugin with latest version.
* Wrote device driver for opendingux, currently only cpu scaling is missing.
* Disabled blend (interpolation) filter as default, will enable it if anyone
  request it.
* Updated vgmstream plugin to latest svn version.

(*) Removed plugins can be easily added again if someone request them.

Notes:

  1. I messed up version numbers when releasing the dingoo port, but I will use the correct version from now on.
      And I haven't tested the app fully so please let me know of any issue/bug you find and I will try to look at it.

  2. psf2, ssf (dsf), 2sf plugins are experimental, they are very cpu intensive and most
      soundtracks will play with lots of lag. The psf2 plugin is not included in the opk, because
      it replaces the original psf plugin based on UPSE. It's up to the user to install it
      to '/usr/local/home/.oldplay/plugins'.

  3. The psf2 plugin based on Highly_Experimental will search for a ps2 bios, it
      must be called 'scph10000.bin' and placed inside '/usr/local/home/.oldplay'.

What formats it plays? (I didn't familiar with original GP2X app.)

This was exactly what I wanted.
Thank you very much.

I just listened to the original Amiga .xm soundtrack to Lemmings back-to-back with the OC ReMix album Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin in mp3. So awesome. My only problem is I can't seem to get m3u playlists to work, I've got to build my playlists file by file every time...

Very nice! I just can't seem to find a way to exit Oldplay.

Look here:

http://wiki.gp2x.org/articles/o/l/d/OldPlay.html#Various_formats

Document might be outdated though as it refers to the earlier GP2X version.

Edit: Tested it and it works great with lots of different formats. And it means GCW Zero has an MP3 player now!

Thank you. I not so much keen on MP3/FLAC (I won't use my Zero for them), NSF/GYM/SPC is all that I want.

Sounds like a cool player (no pun intended). I like what I see in that screenshot, nice interface

Mmmm, strange.  I have to listen to them, could you please upload the songs somewhere?  I haven't changed a bit of code from the sc68 library, but it could be a problem of the replayer.

thanks for your work

That should be easy to fix, will take a look at it when I have time.  I have a couple of new plugins for the next release also, psf2, ssf, dsf, wonder swan music and an opus plugin.  Unfortunately the ssf and dsf soundtracks are a bit heavy for the zero,  but the other plugins should be a nice addition for anyone who likes video game music.

By the way, I anyone would like to update and/or add features to the app please feel free to do it, since I won't have much free time until the end of the year.  Just try to use clean code (it's already a bit messy)  and document all the changes.

P.S. The main app depends on File_Extractor library, so it should be built first as libfex.a, I can share a prebuilt file if anyone cares.

A new version of the player has been released, please see first post to get it.
