POKEY (1.0.5)

Native 32-bit XMPlay input plugin for Atari 8-bit POKEY music.

Engine: official ASAP (Another Slight Atari Player) by Piotr Fusik, compiled in statically (asap.c). No extra DLLs.

This is not the official ASAP XMPlay plugin (support.xmplay.com file 638, xmp-asap 6.0.3). That plugin leaves songs without a TIME tag — for example older rips of Spy vs Spy — playing forever (ASAP_PlaySong(..., -1)). xmp-pokey uses the same ASAP engine but is a separate input plugin so those songs get a real length, plus loop 1/2/3 and POKEY mute.

Intended later home: Elrinth/xmplay_pokey_plugin (not published from this build). Do not confuse the DLL name with xmp-asap.dll / xmp-sap.dll.
