64th Note v0.08

64th Note is a Winamp plugin for USF files, which contain music code from Nintendo 64 games.
The majority of the code is from Project 64 v1.4 by Zilmar and Jabo.
Audio HLE (High Level Emulation) is based on Azimer's Audio plugin v0.55.1
The reading and writing of PSF tags is performed by code from Neill Corlett's PSFPoint.
The amalgamation of all this into a Winamp plugin is the work of Halley's Comet Software/hcs/Adam Gashlin.

NOTE:
64th Note is known to occasionally crash Winamp at random, especially when switching with other plugins. Use it at your own risk.

NOTE:
To use 64th Note with programs other than Winamp ensure that RSP.dll is in the same directory as
the player executable.

--- configuration ---
The defaults are for maximum compatibility.

* Play Forever
  When this option is selected all tracks will play until manually stopped.
* Default Length/Fade
  When this option is selected tracks without a length tag set will be given this default length
  and fade.

* Detect Silence
  The track will end, regardless of any other settings, if the given amount of silence is
  detected.

* Audio HLE
  Enable simulation of the audio synthesis software. This can cause some tracks to play
  incorrectly but can reduce the CPU load significantly. (example: Goldeneye)

* Fast Seek
  When this option is enabled RSP emulation is disabled while seeking, making seeking much
  faster. In some situations this can cause glitches when playback resumes.

* Use Recompiler CPU
  The Recompiler CPU generates native PC code for the N64 program, causing much faster
  execution. There is no need to disable this option anymore, but who knows if it will be needed
  again in the future?

* RSP Sections
  This enables some higher level examination of the audio synthesis software for better
  performance, but occasionally at the expense of accuracy. (example: Majora's Mask: Bass
  Practice)
  This option will be ignored if Audio HLE is selected.

* Title format
  This is the template used for generating song titles for display in Winamp. A name surrounded
  by percent signs (%) will be replaced by the value of that tag with that name if it is found
  in the USF. If a tag is not found the file name will be used as the title.

* Relative Volume
  If you find that 64th Note is quieter or louder than your other plugins adjust this value.

* Soft Amplify
  When this is enabled 64th Note will use a modified amplification method designed to compress
  higher amplitudes to prevent clipping. While it is quite useful in some cases it distorts the
  sound noticeably, so it is disabled by default.

* CPU Thread Priority
  Set the priority for 64th Note, higher values than "Normal" may prevent skipping but only at
  the expense of everything else running on your computer. During seeking the priority is always
  set to "Normal" to avoid saturating the CPU.
