- Thanks for the reply Kabuto :) Do you think this could be spun off into a Mega CD S3M/IT/XM player? The RF5C164 8-channel PCM chip in the Mega CD could surely play an 8-channel S3M directly. How possible would it be to software-mix a 28-channel IT or a 32-channel XM, with each of the RF5C164's 8 hardware channels streaming 3 or 4 software-mixed channels? The 7.6MHz and 12.5MHz 68000s could work together, and there's also 512KB of RAM (quadruple the Mega Drive's 64K). Just an idea I had!

- I've just uploaded a video of this MDMOD player playing 29 MODs, comprising the MODs that make up off1k's 'Amiga Music: Jungle / Drum & Bass Compilation #2', a few cTrix / H0ffman / cTrix & H0ffman MODs, and the Sidewinder MODs that make up the DX-Ball 2 Complete Soundtrack.
Here it is (links to artist pages are in the description):

It's great and impressive to be able to play Amiga MOD music on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis platform! (BlastEm emulator in this case, even though I own 4 Mega Drive / Genesis consoles). Respect to the people who made this!
There are however some playback issues that could perhaps be fixed for an updated version (such as some wrong notes e.g. Temple of Sun Remix, timing issues e.g. Blackbreak, and clipping regardless of emulator volume setting e.g. Junglelism) and the Music Disk tool didn't even accept cTrix's 'Thanks Roy' and 'Dreamtaastic', claiming they weren't ProTracker 2.3 MOD files.
I also had to boost the volume by a total of 20dB (!) on top of all Windows volumes at maximum - 18dB (!) boost in the emulator and a further 2dB boost in OBS, to get up to just below clip. Is the low volume a limitation of the player's software mixer? - isokadded on the 2022-10-09 14:52:55
