v1.02 (Mon 24-Aug-98)
-minor optimisations of the C2P routines
-oops, the bugfix in v1.01 broke the "-wait" option
-added "-fastXPK" unpacking routine for xpkMASH (V1.98)
-added HAM6 renderer for playing 15/24bit anims on AGA
(option "-ham6"; 12bit RGB emulation)
v1.01 (Sun 22-Feb-98)
bugfixes:
-YP crashed when used together with VMM
(memory allocations are now made with MEMF_PUBLIC to avoid this)
-under certain circumstances YP could quit right after opening
its display without playing the anim
v1.00 (Thu 19-Feb-98)
-added HAM8 renderer for playing 15/24bit anims on AGA
(option "-ham8"; 18bit-RGB emulation for highest quality)
-implemented better (faster) C2P converter
(adapted version of a routine by Mikael Kalms)
-added option "-waitd"
(requested by Steve Chapple)
-added option "-noinput"
(requested by Eckhard Ludwig)
-fixed break signal handling
(during playback Ctrl-C forces YP to quit in a clean way)
INTRODUCTION
The program YP is a player for YAFA animation files.
It has some features that let your AMIGA become a real multimedia machine:
-play directly from disk
or
preload the complete animation for maximum playback speed
-can use all AGA and CyberGraphX screenmodes
-has a special "batch file mode" (for LARGE anim shows!)
-can play frame-synchronous sound effects (ProTracker modules, 8SVX samples)
-performance-relevant routines are coded and carefully optimized in ASM
(like C2P, Delta-decompression, RGB-to-8bit rendering etc.)
REQUIREMENTS
Hardware
-MC68020 or higher
-AGA chipset and/or graphics card
-recommended: FastRAM, HardDisk
Software
-AmigaOS V39 (3.0) or higher
-xpkmaster.library and compressors
-CyberGraphX V40+ or Picasso96
