Please contact me separately about development opportunities.  Ian is currently developing the prisma.library and we would value your feedback at this stage of development.

Guys I am practicing as an Amiga classic game developer...I am working my way from AMOS to AmiBlitz and will be releasing games (for free) in aminet all the time.  AmigaKit...if I do an excellent job developing high quality games would you consider hiring me as a game/software developer for classic Amiga?

I know nothing of AmigaOS 4.1 but I will do my best to be excellent as a software/game developer for classic Amiga

Always cool with new hardware for the classic Amigas :-)

Everybody should be using OGG Vorbis files anyway. Completely free, open, smaller and better sounding. Kind of a win-win-win-win situation, really!

The problem is that the majority of portable MP3 players don't support OGG Vorbis, but all of them support MP3. This is the main reason why I prefer to use MP3 (freedom of device).

[spirantho]

Don't worry, I was being facetious. I know there's good reasons for using mp3.
Well, one good reason anyway.... The one you said.


Mpeg 2 layer 3 may also be .mp3 but it doesn't mean all mp3 playing devices support it.

If it's all right with Matthew, then anyone wanting software features is free to email me about them, but I can't promise I'll be able to implement them!

The Ogg/FLAC decoding would come in very handy for both ScummVM and my SDL Mixer, how do you interface to them, is there going to provide some kind of library?

Also, can this card fit into an A1200 desktop?

 Dude, I like the way you think!

After read somethings seems like a MASplayer for clockport.

Imagine a MAS player that provides a click port or can be connected via one.
Then imagine that it can play OGG,  FLAC, WMA and WAV.
Then imagine it can encode audio input such as Paula into OGG or MP3 or whatever.
Then you have the Prisma.

What about AHI support?

Are you the guy doing the software library for this device?

shouldnt it be actually solved via datatypes. in this case accelerated. if it was sdl should use them rather than statically linking to libs to make it more configuration independent.

Yes, I'm "the guy"

Feel free to email me with ideas, suggestions and requests.

AHI is a possibility but not definite yet as the hardware is more geared to decoding than raw playing- but does support raw wav playback.

@spirantho

But this is only a mp3/ogg/flac... player, not a soundcard. What about the price, over 50€?

[wawrzon]

no ahi? :O

If there is no AHI driver I'd have to pass on it i'm afraid.  I don't fancy routing Paula's output into this thing and then routing the combined output into a 3rd soundcard that has an AHI driver.

Ok I'll send you an email so we can talk further....

Datatypes for all supported audio compression formats + an AHI driver would make it the complete package.  Anything less would seem a bit half-arsed.
