I only have two I've readily played and one (SPIN) I already shared with you all on this forum.

Anyone have any experience with this "API"? Any shareware\freeware games that use this library? It really does not like DosBOX and is very sensitive to CPU timing. The library even has some issues working with the DOS subsystem in Win9x too!

For music the library seems to support the following

S3M (though many effects aren't done properly, panning is crap too, too big samples cause white noise)
MOD (Supports ultimate sound tracker 15 instrument format as well as M.K. but not 6CHN 8CHN ,etc)
MID (I only really tried this with "Nanotech" and it appears to use a very VERY generic OPL soundbank)

It would be cool to figure out how long this library has been in development as well.

Now if I only knew where NONAME.MOD really came from, because if you look at textfiles.com's artscene source... It's there as v42.MOD with a "improved" version as v48.MOD

Thanks for the quick reply leilei!

EDIT: Oh crap.. Obliterator was on my shareware CD's but I forgot to pull it off of them when I was going through them one day.

That's very peculiar indeed... I'm going to try finding more info on that module as well.
