Ready for some "blast from the past" moments? wbb has just landed at our PSP development forums and in the process has given us the gift of reliving the past in the form of his Modo project - an ultra simple mod player. As previously reported, Modo supports 669, IT, MED, MOD, MTM, S3M, STM and XM module format, enabling the old-schoolers among us to enjoy running these files via our PSPs.

Here's the list of changes wbb had created for this release:

• added C64 SID & MUS playback (via libsidplay2)
• no RSID / BASIC support (didn't manage to play these tunes at full speed)
• support for HVSC song length database

Although Modo's already running smoothly, we're sure wbb is open to any form of suggestions regarding any kind of possible improvements for it. Just drop him a line or two at our PSP forum release thread below. Also make sure you go over the readme (its contents also viewable on the PSP forum link below) for all the pertinent info dealing with Modo's installation, usage and other features.

Our QJ PSP Development Forum plays witness yet again to another update on Modo, homebrew developer wbb's "ultra simple mod player." Clocking in at a tiny size of 600 KB, this couldn't get any easier to use. Modo supports 669, IT, MED, MOD, MTM, S3M, STM and XM module formats, and the August 12 update has the following changes:

• improved playback, especially MED
• added Pause function, press 'Select' to (un)pause module
• problem with directory browser fixed (showing ".." not always on top)
• fixed problem with sleep timer (after suspend it was not possible to use it again)
• mod files are no longer checked by their extensions in the directory browser. Instead they are scanned for a valid format. That means you do not have to rename your mod files. If you have one like "MOD.my_old_amiga_tun e", you can simply put it in a directory and it will be recognized by the player.
• added 222Mhz and a second 166Mhz mode (see readme for details)
• removed fadeout at end of song

Make sure you check out the readme - the author has appended some extra information into the document. If you have encountered any bugs or might have suggestions, you may contact wbb and give him your feedback.

Homebrew developer wbb has released an update for Modo, the "ultra simple mod player" for the Sony PlayStation Portable, at our PSP Development Forums. This update includes the following new features and fixes:

• Directory browser improved. Shows how many modules are in a directory and the button description is much better.
• If a mod author put messages in instruments / samples / comment section you can cycle through via cross button.
• You can now scroll these messages if they don't fit on the PSP display, use up and down button.
• Before the module starts playing there is short delay now, so you can cycle to previous / next song without actually loading the current module. Use L and R button here. This allows faster file browsing.

There's also some great news for those who are interested in trying out Modo but have no files to test it with. In this new version, wbb has included one mod file - Jungle Bells - to get you guys started. Modo is compatible with 669, IT, MED, MOD, MTM, S3M, STM and XM module formats.

Please be sure to read the readme.txt file included in the download before you install Modo. You can also click on the Visit link below for more information about this piece of homebrew.
