I'm pretty sure modplayer needed an REU, but it does work okay for simple MODs. Kinda noisy, but still a cool achievement. |

It's Comm-o-dore, not Commendore! What am I supposed to think if you can't even spell the name of the machine you're trying to make your very first steps on?
Word of advice: This forum is a great pool of knowledge about probably all questions you're going to ask. Do a little research in old threads first (there's even a search function, surprise). |

Just out of curiosity.. You dont happen to be from Sweden? As no swedes seems to know how to spell Commodore. I've seen Commandor, Commendore and even Komodår. :) No offence, just something Ive noticed browsing too many auction sites.
As for doing "mod" / "xm". I suppose you're interested in doing music for the c64. We used to call it only music. Then some pc-ism got us into calling whatever piece of sound producing code as "sid". Though, sid is in no way comparable with mod apart from it being music. A sid is musicdata and c64 native code while a mod is just music data.
As suggested before download Goat Tracker if you want to do it on pc. If you want the real thing try out Jch , Sdi, John player, Dmc, Gmc, Future composer, Voice tracker or Music Assembler to name a few. you'll probably find most of them here via the search box. Or just look at http://digilander.libero.it/ice00/tsid/hvmec.html
btw. didnt that mod-player require a scpu too? or was it only a native c128? |

According to this page, there was first a C128-only version, then later a C64 version. Both require a REU.

on Mac too... and probably on other machines like Atari ST - those machines which have more horsepower. |

you need atleast some sort of 16 bit or more machine. PC is nowadays the way to go, but MODs are the native amiga sound format... |
