  Very nice job guys. I was thinking about no update etc... because. I work at a little Project at the moment but today i was updated my Windows and Mac Machines too with the new Gideros. As always the Core Team do a so nice job amazing. You guys would supported apple TV? And i see the gdrbridge runs yet on OS X too Thank you guys.

  @john26 do you know where win32 export put |D| on the windows filesystem?
  could it be in:
  C:\Users\_USERNAME_\AppData\Roaming\giderosgame
  ?
  
  I know that this is an alpha, but for the next release may you change "giderosgame" to the name of the game? It seems that any file saved in |D| from my games is stored there (I suppose that if I had files with the same name, they would be overwritten)
  
  Thank you
  
  ps.
  I really like win32 export to test releases: quick, easy and always working (except the missing features)... =D>

  @pie, yes you are exactly right. It puts it in %appdata%/giderosgame which is exactly where you said, see the code here:
  
  https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/win32_example/win32.cpp#L430
  
  Yes, I will fix it so it uses your company/package name like in the Qt version. Thanks for your comments on the Win32. It's good to get everyone's opinion. Eventually we will keep only one Windows export so it's nice to know which people prefer.

  I'm sorry @hgy29 , is XMP already available in Gideros?
  If that is true, are there any info on how to use it?
  
  
  Thank you

  Yes, xmp player is in 2015.9. There is no specific doc about it because it is just like other sound formats, simply create a sound object with a .mod,.it,.xm or .s3m file instead of .wav or .mp3

  cool thanks!
  does it have any additional method like "setBpm" or some channel/volume control?

  No, only simple playback so far, I still don't really know what more can be done

  I thought that being mod files "similar to midi" it was possible to play around with some parameters: at least BPM would be a start, now we can just use setPitch to speed up-down a sound: changing BPM on the run without losing original tuning would open a lot of possibilities
  but theoretically could be also possible to mute/unmute channels/change volumes/pan/change samples keeping the same "sequence" etc... am I being too much optimistic?
  
  Thank you

  There is an API to a sound mixer that it has - you have an additional 64 fixed number channels. But this hasn't been added to Gideros yet.

  A link to xmp or ? Just load a mod in with the latest gideros player, it works.
  
  Here is a link to the xmp open source lib that has been added:
  http://xmp.sourceforge.net/
  
  Here is a link to the mixer API (that needs Lua bindings adding to Gideros I think).
  http://xmp.sourceforge.net/libxmp.html#external-sample-mixer-api

  my bad, :-\"
  you gave me the answer I was seeking anyway: I was looking for the sound library and the mixer API - just to daydream about the possibilities - since after a quick look I doubt I would be able to integrate it :-??

  I think it does, there was a problem with the osx version, we are still testing a revised version. Hopefully it will be out sometime tomorrow.

  We know what is causing the problem now. I think Nico might be working on a fix, not sure though. There is also a slight problem with luasocket on appletv.

  Just tested new version, all works fine. As soon as @ar2rsawseen can upload new Windows/OSX versions then it should be available.
