what is PLAY6?

Post by tinyrsid »

Looking at the Win32 98FMPlayer source code I came across a file format that the player refers to as "PLAY6". From what I see it seems to
be a variant of PC98's "FMP" format that replaces the "FMC" id with "ELF".

I could not find any music files in that format nor any information on the format itself. (maybe it is just some game dev's patched FMP version?)

Please let me know if you have any information on this.

AFAIK it is the variant of FMP that is used by Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO.

According to https://kurohane.net/gmpv4/driver_play6.html, YU-NO is the only game that uses this sound driver.
