HBP10GM MIDI Synthesizer |
|
|
HBP10GM 0.21 (255679 bytes) |
The HBP10GM MIDI synthesizer is a module for playing MIDI data from
a sequencer (eg. MidiWorks) or MIDI-file player (eg. Monolith).
To use the synthesizer with either of these (or with MelIDI), you'll
need MIDI L4 and MIDISupport, but the synthesizer can also be used on
its own - a program is included which will play MIDI-files without
requiring MIDI L4 and MIDISupport.
Notice that the synthesizer is still pretty much a beta-version, so not much documentation is included. Also, only a few samples are included - you'll need to find samples elsewhere. It includes a module (with source) which implements large parts of the MIDI module functionality. This allows applications like MidiWorks to play through the synthesizer without requiring MIDI L4 or MIDISupport! |

WebJames |
|
| From version 0.25, Alex Waugh took over the development of WebJames. | |
|
WebJames is a FreeWare HTTP-server for RISC OS. It includes features such
as: redirection, cache, cgi-script interface, password-protection and much
more.
WebJames appears to be one of the fastest HTTP-server available for
RISC OS. I have tested it against DeltaNet and the freeware version of
NetPlex, and for small files, WebJames is about 4 to 10 times as fast as
the competitors. For large files, the speed depends more on the network
than on the speed of the software. Full source is included. |

VNC client and server |
|
|
VNC client library 0.03 (88244 bytes) VNC server 0.06 (58056 bytes) |
This is an experimental VNC client library - much nicer written than the
VNC client that was previously available from here. The VNC server is a usable, but slow server which serves the desktop - use it to remote control your RiscPC. |

Macromedia Flash |
|
|
Flash file generator 0.22 (175946 bytes) Additional flash fonts (181538 bytes) ZLib (75662 bytes) (if you want to recompile writeflash) |
I started working on a player for Macromedia Flash about 3 years ago, when
the documentation for Flash 3 was released. I didn't get very far, though...
So I was glad when
Oliver Debon
released a player under GPL, and even more thrilled when
Leo Smiers ported it
to RISC OS.
I did a bit of work on the player, optimised some of the graphics routines by rewriting them in assembler and added sound support - these changes are now part of the distribution on Leo Smiers homepage.
writeflash is a Flash-file generator - it takes a script-file
describing the Flash-file, and outputs a Flash 3 file, which may be played
using the Flash-player, or it may be put on your homepage etc. |

Plugins (174191 bytes) |
A collection of plugins (Drawfile, VRML, FLI, MPEG, MIDI) - some of them
more useful than others. The VRML plugin requires the Gemini engine and a few other bits that are part of TopModel... The FLI plugin is a bit outdated, as FLI isn't much used these days... The MPEG plugin only plays Elementary Streams, MPEG-1 without sound... The MIDI plugin plays using the internal voices - it doesn't always sound pretty, but it better than nothing... Source is included. |
MicroC - C-interpreter |
|
|
MicroC (25417 bytes) |
MicroC is an interpreter for a small subset of C. It is based on Herbert Schildt' mediocre C-interpreter LittleC, but I've improved it a bit, fixed a few bugs (or 20) and added a few new features. Source is included. |
Video encoder/decoder |
|
|
Video codec (157745 bytes) |
This is a GPL video encoder/decoder, written in C, with full source.
It uses 4-point DCT and motion-compensation to compress 15bpp YUV data to
typically 1.5 - 2.0 bits/pixel. Still very experimental. |
MPEG-Works |
|
|
MPEGWorks 1.08 MakeMPEG 1.04 (102963 bytes) |
MPEG-Works is a MPEG decoder and encoder for RISC OS.
The decoder is an optimised port of the Berkeley decoder; the encoder is
based on the MPEG Software Simulation Group encoder. Both were ported by
me and Søren Lange. |

ProSound docs (25443 bytes) CineWorks FreeWare version (726495 bytes) ProSound FreeWare version (367969 bytes) StudioSound 1.02 FreeWare version (346290 bytes) |
The FreeWare versions of CineWorks/ProSound/StudioSound are completely
unsupported... if they don't work, it's just too bad. |
