This is an update for the "MusicMaker-4V"/"MusicMaker-8V" players included

in the latest version of UADE (2.13). They also work with all other players

openly or secretly using UADE (such as bzrplayer, http://bzrplayer.blazer.nu

and others).

The following changes were made:

- Added support for MMV8-3.0-modules

- some minor changes (ModuleInfo better, obsolete SaveModule removed)

All that right on time for MusicMaker's 30th birthday.

Just replace "MusicMaker-4V" and "MusicMaker-8V" in your UADE installation

with the files contained in the archive. (They usually reside in a "players"

sub-directory.)

***************************************************************************

Important: Sometime between 1993 and 2017, someone took it on himself to

decide that MusicMaker files need to be named "MM4.xxx"/"MM8.xxx" in order

to be recognized by replayer applications such as UADE. I don't know who

that was, I just know it wasn't me. So, unfortunately, you need to rename

your files accordingly before they get played back.

If your song is saved in split files, rename all of them, eg "MM4.ALF.sdata"

and "MM4.ALF.ip" etc. If the song is in EXT-mode, use the prefix "MM8".

Some players using UADE in the background need modules to have a suffix,

specifically "mm8" for 8-channel tunes, "mm4" for 4-channel songs.

***************************************************************************
