HomebrewInsomniac197 over at our QJ Forums has posted his Wav Loader (Wavloader) for the PSP. It is a simple interface for using the MikMod library to play WAV files. This is version 0.1 - an initial release.

How does it work? From the readme.txt:

At a Cygwin prompt type:

svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/mikmodlib

When the files have finished downloading type:

cd mikmodlib
make install


There are also samples included in the download. Again, from the readme.txt:

In the 'Samples' directory within this archive there is example code on how to integrate wavloader.
There are two examples currently.
simple - Shows only the basic functions needed to load and play a WAV.
advanced - Illustrates how to change the volume, pan and stopping a playing WAV.
(When compiling these samples do not forget to put the 'sound.wav' file in the same folder as the EBOOT when moving onto the PSP)
The samples and the wavloader.h are well commented so implementation should be simple.
MikMod will only play MONO uncompressed WAV files.

would anyone wants to load an uncompressed wav... bigger size.. longer to transfer. takes up more memory... quality isn't too much better than mp3s. O.o let alone no stereo sounds... sorry to sounds unappreciative but it doesnt make sense to me :D. yay no lousy first post

Good to combine with PSP kick so you can play the songs you've made.

Wav Player? Um... No thanks I'll use FLAC instead if I wanted WAV quality sound.

@1st, I see where you are coming from if you mean using wavs for music. That is awful. But it works ok for short sounds.



I had to write my own wav interface to mikmod quite a while before this came out. But the problem is, the functions that I wrote only allow one wav to be loaded at a time, and I couldn't figure out how to fix that. If this can help me load multiple wavs at a time, then I will have to try it.



Now we just need a good interface to playing .mod music. I heard that those files are like MIDI. I want to play MIDI on my PSP games but I can't find a lib for that, and I am not about to use SDL.

You can play WAVs in 2.0+ on devhook, so this isnt too useful.. =/

This is for devs who want to use WAV files in their own programs.



It's not a standalone media player of any kind.



@darkside: Yes it supports multiple WAV files
