What is it?

UNIX port of Open Cubic Player, which is a text-based player with some few graphical views. Visual output can be done through nCurses, Linux console (VCSA + FrameBuffer), X11 or SDL/SDL2. It can be compiled on various different unix based operating systems.

What can it play?

Amiga style modules files with more (Amiga compressed files will be decompressed using ancient):

Code from STYMulator to play music from Atari ST (Yamaha YM2149):

  • *.YM

Fork of libsidplayfp to play music from C64 (SID 6581/8580):

  • *.SID
  • *.RSID

Code from aylet to play music from ZX Spectrum/Amstrad CPC (Yamaha YM2149):

  • *.AY

Audio Files (both compressed and PCM styled):

  • *.WAV
  • *.OGG
  • *.FLAC
  • *.MP2
  • *.MP3

Audio CDs: Linux support only, using digital read out API

  • *.CDA

Fork of TiMidity++ is used to play MIDI:

  • *.MID

AdPlug can read a wide range of music formats designed for the OPL2/OPL3 Adlib sound chip. Examples:

HivelyTracker tracked music, using code from the original tracker repository:

Unifont.ttf?

When you compile/install and have enabled X11/SDL/SDL2 support, the unifont TTF files are needed. This is a 8x16 font that has a main goal of being UTF-8/Unicode complete. For special scripts it will look incorrect, but the character-set should be complete.

In most systems this font will be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/unifont/ or /usr/share/fonts/opentype/unifont/ . If this path is different for your system, you can provide the correct path with ./configure --with-unifontdir-ttf=/your/path and/or ./configure --with-unifontdir-otf=/your/path .

If the font-files on your system is not named exactly "unifont.ttf", "unifont_csur.ttf" and "unifont_upper.ttf", you can instruct alternative filenames using ./configure --with-unifont-ttf=/your/path/UniFont.ttf --with-unifont-csur-ttf=/your/path/UniFont-CSUR.ttf --with-unifont-upper-ttf=/your/path/UniFont-Upper.ttf" . Same for opentype version of the files by using --with-unifont-otf --with-unifont-csur-otf and --with-unifont-upper-otf . If the filenames on your system contains version numbers, we ask you to fill a bug-report to your system provider and ask them to add symlinks without version numbers in them.

Installing on macOS

brew install ocp

more notes about Darwin

If you use liboss, you might need to edit /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/liboss.pc and remove -Wno-precomp (liboss 0.0.1 is known to be broken and crashes, so we discourage the use of liboss)

To configure Darwin, my experience is that you need to run configure like this:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CPPCXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure

and optionally add things like --prefix etc.

To get curses up and running with colors, you need to run ocp like this

TERM=xterm-color ocp-curses
