Include <b>fmod.h</b> in your project, this is found in api/inc.<br>

To link FMOD to your project, there are the following files.<br>
|
|
<li><b>/api/lib/fmodgc.lib</b> - Link to this file if you are using <b>SN Systems</b> compiler.
|
|
<li><b>/api/lib/fmodgcD.lib</b> - This is the debug version of fmodgc.lib and outputs a log of FMOD's progress and any error messages (in plain english) to the TTY.
|
|
<li><b>/api/lib/fmodgc_cw.a</b> - Link to this file if you are using the <b>Metrowerks Codewarrior</b> compiler.
|
|
<li><b>/api/lib/fmodgc_cwD.a</b> - This is the debug version of fmodgc_cw.lib and outputs a log of FMOD's progress and any error messages (in plain english) to the TTY.

Simply load their .dsp files into Dev Studio and hit F7.<br>

<b>dspadpcm.exe</b>
|

|

<br>
|
|
FMOD supports the Nintendo DSPADPCM format as output by the Nintendo tool "dspadpcm.exe".
|
|
FMOD expects the file extension ".dsp" on these files.<br>
|
|
For clarity and consistency, FMOD refers to this format as FSOUND_GCADPCM. <br>
|
|
<b>NOTE</b>: dspadpcm.exe can only convert MONO samples!<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>fsbank.exe</b><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This is a Windows app that creates .fsb files - FMOD's native sample bank format.<br>
|
|
Use it to create sample banks of either MONO or STEREO ADPCM samples suitable for playing or streaming using the GameCube ADPCM hardware. <br>

<b>Hardware voice dropping</b><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Due to a design issue with the Gamecube hardware, the processor will drop hardware voices if it's DSP chip gets overloaded.<br>
|
|
Call <b><a href="../HTML/FSOUND_Update.html">FSOUND_Update</a></b> each game cycle and FMOD will automatically reacquire voices that get dropped. <br>
|
|
FMOD's priority system has been linked into this, so it is likely to drop lower priority sounds that have their priority set with <b><a href="../HTML/FSOUND_Sample_Defaults.html">FSOUND_Sample_Defaults</a></b>.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>Direct DVD streaming</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Use FMOD's stream API to play streams using the GameCube's DVD audio streaming capability. <br>
|
|
When opening a stream, simply specify a file with a .adp extension and FMOD will stream it using the GameCube's hardware straight from the DVD to the AI, completely bypassing both ARAM and MRAM.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>Gamecube extras</b><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Look in <b>fmodgc.h</b> for GameCube-specific functions relating to such things as DVD status callbacks, AUX effects, specifying a block of ARAM for FMOD to use and accessing IPL sound settings.<br>
