Dboy in this current version is Freeware – that means that you can
spread it (but only if all files in the distribution archives are kept as they are) and 
use it as much as you want for any purposes.

But it would be REALLY nice to get feedback, suggestions, mixes, ... !

Lotsa thanks have to go to the devkitARM people for the tool-chain as well as the
people involved in DeSmuME !


Dboy has been written entirely in C, with some few ARM assembly optimisation.

Upcoming version:

8 channels, sound-streaming from sd-card for 1 or even 2 channels,
crossfading between channels, improved load/save, 
sample-editor with more features (setting loop-position,...), ...

Some short introduction...
#+------------------------

Check the doc\ folder for some slides about the GUI


Using own samples:

Copy your samples into the sample\ folder, note that the first 3 chars
are used for sorting the samples (just like in the default folder setting)


Sample-format:

The used samples can be 8 or 16 bits, mono or stereo,
they will be converted to 8 bit mono.


Start wav.exe to build a NDS-image with your sample-data.
Use dboy.nds then on your NDS or emulator.

The source for wav.exe is in wav.source\ ... sorry but I am too lazy
for making a Linux port yet.
Feel free to do so !!  (and send me the result ! :)
