It only really happens in MaxYMiser, and the problem initially happened with v1.33 so I changed to 1.29, and then the problem started occurring again.

if you before never had any error in v1.29 and you start to have them now, then i would say it's hardware.

and i think it very well could be the PSU.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I thought it might be better posting here than starting a new thread.

Recently when I've been using MaxYMiser on my STe, it hasn't been saving files properly. Like, it will say it's saved it as an SND, but then you go to the save and it's 0kb's in size and won't load. I've also had a SND that's been the right file size, but it won't load it. The disk drive kicks in but then it stops and the screen goes dark and nothing else happens.

Any thoughts please?!

edit: much like op I think I might cry if this keeps happening

if it is only MaxYMiser making troubles then try.
1. try new (others) floppy-disks.
2. try an other version of MaxYMiser

if it is also happen in other programs.
1 it could be the floppy-drev that need to be clean, or maybe change.
2. it cloud be the PSU. it should be a very common error on the STE, i it can have an impact on the floppy-drev.

There is a native player for ymf files!
You can export to ymt with the windows application, and replay them with this player on the Atari ST: http://www.nightfallcrew.com/20/01/2015 … -fedepede/

At the moment I'm on a Maxymiser track, but I'll work on Ymer soon (I need to if I want to finish this YM/AY album / compilation I've planned for a long time!)

My ymt format have some advantages and some minus over a native player

one advantage it have is that the player is fast and simple
but some of the disadvantages is you can't use all the sounds types only pure YM and buzzer sound.
the score take a lot of space.
but at least, because you can exported the score in speed up to 300 hz the YM export file, sound right compare to music score.

Even though I rarely get around to making YM music nowadays, I'm glad to hear Project Ymer is still alive!
Also, a native player would be great. The best would actually be an option to export to SNDH, so the output could be used with gwEm's STj player. I dunno if SNDH would support 300Hz effects, though.

Hi irrlichtproject and thx, and you had a big part in that project ymer got to where it is today smile

the problem with SNDH is that it's not a format,  it is the music score + the native player + a header telling which interrupt it uses.
but if i ever got to finish the native player, when you also have SNDH.

i have done a lot of the GUI for the program, so one day i probably  continues on it.

i have also done some test on the sound, and it look like what i thought could be done, did not work, so i have to do in the same way as i did back in the old days. one thing that mean is that the synth wave sound will be more lofi compare to the windows version.

Talking about trackers for Atari ST, fedepede04 made a nice windows trackers which can export music on Atari ST (ym format), you can grab it there: http://www.fedepede04.dk/Ym2149.html (I'm just trying it now...)

There is also Vortex Tracker II which can export to sndh format, even though I've always used it for my Sinclair ZX spectrum in AY format... http://bulba.untergrund.net/vortex_e.htm

thx for the nice words.
but the tracker you pointed is a very old version, i will try to upload a new one.
and an other thing with my player is, it have no native ST player, it can export to YM format, but in that format, you can't have all special sound like wave form, pwm. but you can export them to a 300hz, and i have also mad a Ymt player for the ST that support the format.

if you can read the disk on the ST, then it is probably because the floppy drive doesn't recognize the disk. try format a 1.44 disk on the drive to check if the work.
if it work, then toy have to buy new floppy drive. like a Thosiba, Teac.

i would not bet on it, its a Chinese Floppy disk, its look like that you are in Germany due to Amazon.de,
i can see there is some IBM floppy disk on ebay, i would rather try an Ibm floppy instead of a Chinese Floppy disk, but i can't promise that it works.

how about the sandberg usb floppy drev does it also work?

Nope, still doesn't work, which makes this whole thing pretty strange. I tested different kinds of floppies too but got the same results.

no that is not strange it is because the drev does not support 720kb disk.

Good to hear that USB floppy is better supported in Windows 10. Thanks Microsoft!

Yeah my floppies finally work but my Waves compressor plug-ins don't. I find this pretty hilarious.

i have made 720kb disk under XP, win 8, win8.1. but sometimes windows just work like crap and need a reinstall.
