  • Gradius - Playaround Morimoto.avi - 40meg

もりもと (Morimoto)

Morimoto picks only Speed upgrades and has fun with perfect reflexes. That's certainly something nice to do, because the game scrolls automatically and the player can't affect the speed.

 

Music

Chiptune Players

All three programs are portable (foobar2000 has an option to install a portable version on install).

Audio Overload

http://bannister.org/software/ao.htm

Almost plays all the formats but the interface is a little poor, does not support m3u playlists or song length data so you have to manually advance to the next song. Mac, Windows and Linux versions are availible.

Doesn't play - sid (Commodore 64), minigsf (Game Boy Advance)

XMPlay (with various native and Winamp plugins)

http://www.xmplay.com/

Most compatible - All formats play

The most versitile player due to the fact it can run its own native plugins as well as the Winamp plugins, also supports m3u playlists.

Best choice for Commodore 64 sid tunes because of the HVSC songlenth database and STIL support, plus the tunes sound better compaired to the foobar2000 plugin.

foobar2000 (with various plugins)

http://www.foobar2000.org/

My main music player for mp3 that also plays most of the chip tune formats, also supports m3u playlists.

Doesn't play - ay (Spectrum), minigsf (Game Boy Advance), mdx (X68000)

Infact if you try to play these format the player crashes.

Other

You could use good old Winamp but the programs got a little too bloated and interface has got way to complex, this was one of the reasons I started using foobar2000, which loads faster and has a nice simple interface.

I personally never use this player but it does play almost all the formats but
the interface is pretty crap on the PC version (MAC version is much better),
doesn't support m3u playlists or song length data so you have to manually
advance to the next song.

MAC, Windows and Linux versions are availible.

Doesn't play:-

sid (Commodore 64), minigsf (Game Boy Advance)

The most versatile player due to the fact it can run its own native plugins as

Best choice for Commodore 64 sid tunes because of the HVSC songlenth database
and STIL support, plus the tunes sound better compaired to the foobar2000
plugin.

You could use good old Winamp but the program has got a little too bloated and

foobar2000, which loads faster and has a nice classic simple interface.

The KMPlayer
http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php

I use this as my main DVD, Xvid and all the other movie formats player, very
configurable (almost too many options to tweak), subtitle surport, plays
DTS 5.1 and AC3 5.1 multi-channel files.
