The mp3 player for bare metal RPi 3

This versions plays .sid, .dmp, .wav, .mp2, .mp3 and .s48 files

The recognized wav formats are 44100/16 bit signed (CD standard) , 96000/32 bit float and wav wrapped mp3 stream (subformat 85)

S48 files are mp2 streams with their own header.

If you want to test this, unpack sidplay.zip file to FAT32 formatted SD, add some files to play, then put the SD into your Raspberry Pi 3 and switch it on.

Config.txt is not mandatory, use it if you encounter clicks.

The other formats such as .flac are on their way :)

MP3 decoder library which is not written by me makes too much noise: the reason for it is known and I will try to update the library as soon as I can.

The high quality (SNR>81 dB) sound is outputted via analog output. No other sound devices can be used.
When playing .wav you can interact with sprites using the mouse :)

The program tries to autodetect the mouse but still not all mice works.
The mouse cannot be connected to the same hub with the keyboard (known Ultibo bug)

Use 60 Hz graphics mode

Most of active keyboard functions are displayed in the scroll text.
