Title: AYCfiles Player by Overlanders
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 16:48, 14 December 21

French program from 2000.
Not sure of the source of these files - CPC, Atari ST?
I play one track, 'Enolagay' , which is actually 'Electricity' by the same band - OMD.

Not emulated - original hardware and software.

has an aspect ratio of 4:3 so you may wish to adjust your viewing device accordingly.

It was made by me, using good old Soundtrakker and yes, that's Electricity.

This AYC player is mighty fast, well done, MadRAM!

It certainly is fast in operation.
However, like most (all?) players I've looked at it there is room for improvement:


1. Individual tracks loop and play endlessly - this makes sense in a demo or a game but not in a player.
2. No "Play all" or "Random play" options.


BTW I'm a big fan of synth-pop - have you made any other little gems I haven't found yet? :)
