Title: 303 Tracker won't run
Post by: TheGoose on August 27, 2010, 01:20:21 AM

I got it installed just fine. But I hit the icon and it tells me:

unable to open your tool "303tracker"

I tried to run it from shell and that didn't work either.
What is wrong here , besides me?

I can't even install it. It always claims I don't have enough hard drive space, which is bull shit.

Crazy. Getting it installed was a trick. It starts in a weird screen mode so half the dialog box goes off the screen. I just guest to where the "Install" button might be...

Assuming you mean the old 303-Tracker v0.12, the install never worked
for me either... However, It's just a matter of moving the folder "Program" to
wherever you like.
I'm not certain if it was this old app, or 303-Emu2, which requires a
vintage AMOS.library to work.
If there are strange requesters where the mouse disappears, you can always
use the standard keyboard-keys (RightAmi+B or M (?)).
303-Tracker does produce some wicked sounds, however, 303-Emu2 by the
same authors has a wider spectrum of sounds, more similar to the original
Roland Tb-303, but it's a pain to make sequences and loops unless you
get used to working with an app on aminet where you make scripts and
feed into it instead, using your favourite tracker MED/PT etc..

Here's an output from DOS-Trace, as I launched 303-Tracker, maybe there's
a hint somewhere.

True I have the .12 version.

Thanks, that is in-depth. Will give a little more look this weekend. I did see the waveforms were unpacked, might just toss those int OSS to see what they are like.

Might also try it on my AOS3.1 machine instead.

I did get this to install and run on my A3000D. But really a wast of time because it is not finished software! You can't load or play anything really. And many of the features in the menu will tell "Not implemented in this version" Basically a big tease and advertisement to register.

So FYI - 303Tracker is a bust.

It did have one cool button, "send to Octamed" alas, just fantasy. Could have been a cool tool.
