Crashes upon loading with a VB runtime error, due to PSF plugin. I don't know why.

These are both clean installs. Machine is Windows 98SE. All updates. PII 450, 384MB, SB64 value.

Says:

Microsoft Visual Runtime Library

This program has ased the RUntime to terminate in an unusual way.

Just got a new PC set up with Winamp 5.2 (which previously worked beautifully with Chipamp), but now Chipamp appears to do nothing after install.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

I was trying to play some music on Winamp, and all of a sudden I got a guru meditation error thing and Winamp closed. I couldn't do anything, so I tried uninstalling Chipamp and all of a sudden, Winamp was working again. When I reinstalled Chipamp, Winamp crapped out again.

So what's the deal?

Don't run Winamp on your Amiga :P

It's probably just one plugin causing the problem. Install one plugin at a time and see where it starts crashing.

I remember it would give me shit for skipping .gym tracks. You should be playing .vgm anyway, not .gym, but whatever :D

I installed Chipamp last night, and now mp3 files don't show up as "supported file types" when I try to add files to my playlist from Winamp. Of course, they still show up if I choose "all file types" and I can still add them by simple drag&drop, but it annoys me slightly. Can this be Chipamp's fault? If yes, is it a known bug?

Nah, it's not Chipamp. Chipamp doesn't even interact with Winamp recognizing the MP3 extension, just chiptune formats. I did a clean install of Chipamp on another computer just last night and everything was cool, as usual.

What happened to updating Chipamp? A lot of the plugins are out-of-date, and Winamp just isn't the best program to use to play some of the formats, anyway. I have the same problem with the Open dialogue not recognizing any extensions. EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

[OverCoat]

There's a problem with winamp that concerns a maximum amount of associated file extensions, and I don't know if it's been fixed with newer versions of winamp or what, but it was a problem back when I used it [XMPlay user now. for the win]. You should disable or remove plugins you do not use, and that may fix your problem

I follow the status of chiptune players pretty closely. The plugins offered by Chipamp are very outdated. Here are the current and most accurate video game music format plugins that should be included:

64th Note v1.2 beta 3
http://www.hcs64.com/usf/#64th
in_usf.dll

NEZplug++ 0.9.4.8 + 2 + 17.01
http://offgao.no-ip.org/program/nezplug++.html
in_nez.dll

snes_spc player 0.1 (sound core used in bsnes)
http://mudlord.homebrewheaven.net/do...in_spc_bin.zip
in_spc.dll

GME VGM PLUGIN (AamirM's Regen core injected into GME with some modifications)
http://aamirm.hacking-cult.org/in_vgx.zip
in_vgx.dll

SSF "Decorder" 1.17 (Saturn Sound Format)
http://foobar2000.xrea.jp/up/files/up870.zip
in_aossfu.dll

2SF "Decorder" 0.14 (Nintendo DS Sound Format)
http://foobar2000.xrea.jp/up/files/up875.zip
in_vio2sfu.dll

DSF 0.04 (Dreamcast Sound Format)
http://foobar2000.xrea.jp/up/files/up964.zip
in_aodsfu.dll

vgmstream r475 (replaces in_cube.dll)
http://hcs64.com/files/vgmstream-r475-test.zip
in_vgmstream.dll

Toss GEZamp. VGM more than replaces GYM.
SNESamp has nice features but is inaccurate. So is NotSo Fatso. So is Maxim's VGM input plugin 0.35.


Stand-alone players of note:

I don't know, the chiptunes sound pretty fine to me.
