Port round-up

[raina]

Since the release of MilkyTracker v0.90.80 as open source, new software distributions have been adopting it at a steady pace. The long-awaited Ubuntu package is also out already, and has been for a while too! Yeah, we didn't know either for quite some time, due to a delay on the package search page we were monitoring. Other distributions that nowadays offer MilkyTracker include (but aren't necessarily limited to) Arch Linux, Debian, Enlisy, FreeBSD, Gentoo, NetBSD and SUSE. Let us know if there's more.

Varthall's port for Amiga OS 4 was done in due time and we're awaiting to hear about more positive developments from the Amiga front. Also, by request, a G3 compatible OS X version was built. "I found a new use for my old white iBook: tracking! It's now called MilkyBook. :)", commented satisfied user azer4.

We would like to remind people that if they're doing something interesting with the source code, please let us know so we can spread the news. That's about it, nothing big, but at least I got to clean up the news page a little. ;)

Hmm... G3 Mac port doesn't run on OSX10.1, but I can't expect anything to run on it so...

Hm... If only I had OSX 10.3 on my iBook G3, I'd be back to tracking (my WinXP box is dead, so I'm stuck on an OSX10.1 iBook...)...

Install Linux

Install Linux

Either that (linux should indeed be the faster option on a G3) or at least switch to 10.2.
10.1 was the slowest official version of Mac OS X.

Hello,

I would like to inform you about the new OpenBSD MilkyTracker port.  Thanks to all devs for this wonderful piece of music creation software.

Oh crap. Sorry, midnight. I'll get right on it..

[the-486-kid]

pick up a sharp mobilon tripad pd-6000  has a MIPS processor, 32 ram, and WIN CE Handheld Edition 3.0 (WIN CE 2.11 CORE)

I installed the .NET 1.0 for CE 2.11 and tried running the MIPS version of Milky Tracker
and got this back from the system:

"Cannot find 'Milkey Tracker' (or one of it's components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available. "

     

   Anyone wanna help with a port to 2.11 (or shed some light on it) ?

  Thanks

you need a GAPI tweaker maybe

Hello. I don't know if it's the right place, however:

I've just compiled MilkyTracker on AROS i386 under VmwAROS 1.0

A screenshot here:

The news here:

And now some suggestions to avoid choppy reproduction. Click Config and change these:

- in I/O set buffer to 288 ms or greater
- set mixer resolution to 44100

Regarding which version of OS X to run on an old G3,  I recommend OS X 10.3.   It's actually the best performing. I'm running 10.3.9 on my Rev. A Bondi Blue iMac G3, and it actually runs very nicely.   10.2 is actually slower!     Just thought I'd add my $0.02,  even though this thread is quite old by now.
