LIBXM7
Released

LIBXM7 is a C library to play XM modules on Nintendo DS using only ARM7 resources (thus freeing your ARM9 from that task).

The use of XMs as a background music in your games allows much more flexibility compared to the old MOD format: more channels, multisample instruments, envelopes, panning and so on. In addition, the XM format is very well known and widespread among composers who compose music using their favourite tracker. Moreover, the reproduction of the tune will not use ARM9 resources as all the necessary elaboration is carried out by the ARM7. With LIBXM7 all you have to do is load the module and fire.

XM files are like ultra MOD files. Which are sorta like MIDI files (but not really). This library lets developers use XM files for their in-game music, utilizing the weaker ARM7 processor only, leaving the more powerful ARM9 available for other things like game logic and graphics handling.

Trying to use .xm files under PAlib has been a nightmare, and mikmod's support is incredibly finicky.


This is nice.
