      MYMPLAY 0.3 by Lieves!Tuore

This is just a quick project inspired
by discussion in comp.sys.msx.

STSound by Leonard/Oxygene is a player
for YM files, which are basically just
plain PSG register dumps. The format is
unfortunately not well suited for a
low-memory system like MSX1. Therefore,
I introduced a brand new fileformat
called MYM. It holds the same data but
compressed differently.

To convert between YM and MYM there's a
utility, YM2MYM. It packs a _raw_ YM
file to a MYM file. So before you start
to convert shitload of YM tunes, unpack
them with LHA first. Only YM2/YM3/YM3b
files can be converted at the moment.
Many new YM's are YM5, however.

The other files are MYM2YM for reverse
conversion and of course the player
itself (including the source). The
assembly source is for Table-driven
assembler (TASM), not GEN80, sorry
about that. I stripped the tailing 0's
from the final .COM file to make it
smaller (Now it IS small ;v)

Anyone interested in porting the player
to other suitable machines like CPC or
Spectrum should contact me at once. For
"high quality" MSX demos visit our
homepage.
