Audio Overload’s not been updated for a while, so I’d like a little public smoke testing before things go official.
New stuff in this version includes (features are both Linux and Windows unless noted):
– WAV logging
– PSF2 support (SquareSoft games DO NOT WORK. Games which stream music instead of synthesizing it DO NOT WORK. Asking about either will get the feature disabled!)
– Channel muting for most formats
– Jump to button works (Linux)
– Open box remembers the last directory you were in (Linux)
– Playback thread priority boosted to prevent dropouts when AO is in the background (Windows)
Binaries are available for Windows, Linux (x86), and Linux (x86-64). I can also build a PS3 Linux version if there is demand.
[Note: These binaries have now all been updated to improve what is shown in the list when you open an archive – hopefully this will give more meaningful names in most cases. If you downloaded before, please redownload and you should have a much improved experience with archives].
[Note 2: Binaries updated AGAIN. The about box will show “2.0b8.2” for this version, which improves name-matching in archives again, fixes an issue with QSF playback (especially on 64-bit Linux), and enables a horizontal scroll bar on the Windows version].
Please discuss problems on the board.
