Introduction

To play an Amiga Mod File, you have to use a translator from the mod format to the orDrumbox format.

You need some mods files (8 bits)

Install the tools

Get the latest version (or beta) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ordrumbox/, section files from the package AmigaModFiles2orDrumbox

You can find a win 32 binary ... and the sources codes (in C language). If you have another Operating system, you just have to recompile. We will provide the binary for linux as soon as possible

Use the AmigaModFiles2orDrumbox

Just put the executable file and the mods files in the same directory and type (in console mode) mod2ordb.exe sample.mod. Of course remplace the sample.mod by the real name of your mod file.

This translator works as a mod ripper and write a directory with the samples in wav format and a xml orDrumbox file. The name of this file is the same as the directory and the same as the internal module name.

You need to copy this directory in the "Data" subdirectory of the orDrumbox.

Then you can launch the orDrumbox and load your new xml file. Just active the song mode with the orDrumbox interface.

Troubleshooting

There is many sub-format for the mod files, and only the old vintage Protracker 1.1 format will work.
