Hi. Has anoyone gotten Oktalizer to work? I saw this on a local board a while ago, and assumed it was bogus. It looks like just a picture with a pointer, not an actual program. And the source is only for four voices. In the docs they said you need to run it in pal mode to access the menus, but they are visible on non-pal and don't work. Has anyone gotten Oktaplayer to work (on abcfd20?) Thanks, Jeff

Oktaplayer (on abcfd...) seems to be nothing more than a very early version of Oktalyzer. It does not play anything, as far as I can tell! -- Dan Babcock

Has anyone gotten >Oktaplayer to work (on abcfd20?) Yes. I have gotten Oktalyzer to work. You need to be running PAL. It won't work in NTSC mode. If you have a Super-Agnus, get Palcon or some other piece of software which puts your machine into Pal mode. If you don't have a Super-Agnus, you're SOL.

Seems that abcdfghi.nasa... has put a lock on it. Why? From what I understand, it is PD. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I am sure you will :) ) But, seriously, why would it be locked if it were PD? Because it "looks" like Noisetracker/Soundtracker? Well, from what I have seen of the player module, it isn't even close to N/Stracker -- won't play a mod. file either.

Oktalizer is wonderful, it's just so clean. PS 8 voices, reduces quality. Proff/The Force
