Can't Load My Old Ptm (protracker Module) Files Anymore + How Can

Off-Topic

Hi guys,

I hope you can help me / Hope i have found the right forum for these kind of questions

Yesterday, i have found some of my old ptm/mod songs from 1995-1997 on a harddisc.

  1. Now, with some mayby older ptm song i get this error message when i try to load them in Protracker 3.62 or 3.61:

XPK-PACKER RETURNED AN ERRORCODE!

I have downloaded the “xpk_User.lha” pack (Version 5.2a) from this site:
http://aminet.net/search?query=xpk&start=100

I use WinUAE 1.2.0 (Amiga Forever 2006 Premium Edition from CLOANTO)

  1. The second problem is, that i don’t know (anymore?) how it is possible to save a loaded ptm song as a mod in Protracker 3.62 or 3.61?

Hope you can help me - thanks,
TrackerHippie

I might be wrong and I dont have an Amiga anymore, but maybe you are missing an unpacker. Download http://aminet.net/util/pack/xfdmaster.lha and use xfdlist to see with what packer the files are packed with. After that search aminet for suitable unpacker if its indeed missing.

Just a tought and I might be totally wrong :)

ps. maybe xpk has similar command to tell the packer, see manual about the c/ commands

Thanks Hooligan/DCS - you have solved the first problem!

I have still not found a solution for my second problem. Any ideas?

=> save ptm as mod / convert ptm to mod

…problem solved…

In “Disk Op.” it’s possible to switch between “MODFORM: IFF” = ptm or “MODFORM: OLD” = mod
