Summary: SFX/Music from Amiga files

Initial Comment:
I think, the Amiga versions of MI2 and FOA uses Midi

similar to the mt32 version from the PC version but

with fewer instruments. The actual midi instruments are

stored as a multisample wavetable in amiga1.ims etc. If

midi output is selected, e.g. "-ewindows", you could

experimentaly treat the "AMI " tag like the "ROL "

equivalent in the PC versions. It's probably better

than no sound at all. Not that simple is probably the

use of the amiga1.ims etc. files in order to produce

the original sounds, which also includes some sfx in MI2.



As I know MI1 does a different way. All music are MODs

in the Rainbow Arts format.

Kirben, it sounds like you've been the liason for quietust's 

Amiga patches, so I'm going to turn this over to you for now.

A few more titles that will require MOD format support of 

some type:

The music in indy3 and loom is in MOD style format, more 

information can be found at 

http://qmt.ath.cx/~quietust/scumm/v3sound/

The music in simon1 used Protracker mod format.



We still know nothing about music/sfx format of maniac and 

zak.

According the recent forum posts the sound effects in the 

*.ims files are just uncompressed signed 8 bit sample data.

And I expect their same rate would be 11000Hz

OK ScummVM now treats AMI music resources in MI2 as 

ROL and the music sounds fairly good.



Any ideas on what music/sound formats were used by Amiga 

versions of INDY3, LOOM, MM or ZAK  ?

To be exact, the music for the Amiga version of MI1 is in

TFMX format. There is a GPL'ed player for this format

available at http://darkstar.tabu.uni-bonn.de/~neo/tfmx.html.
