Hi guys, finally I got some more tools working, wrote my own sound converter and "chunk shuffler" and can now get AnimFX running with sound and proper play rate. Here is a video with 5 HAM variants (HAM6/HAM8 with one shared palette and multiple palettes) and for dreamers a hires version. I can run V1-V4 on my Amiga, V5 is (as expected) too slow on my Amiga - but it is fast enough in FS-UAE ... which made me wonder a bit ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQg7CcgQqOUCDXL works too @ 25 FPS in lores for V1 without blit option (but flicker) (in PIO-4 setting), and it does appear to be fast enough - unfortunately I never got the CDXL player working with multiple color palettes in HAM mode.
Next I may look at my CD32 or Picasso IV with MPEG (RIVA player is much better in skipping frames while still keeping the music playing properly) or I start writing my own HAM player ..
