Most of the discs just had shareware demos, clip art and stuff like that. But one CD was chocked full of DOS demo scene stuff, MOD files, tracker programs and fractal stuff. I can still remember listening to the theme song from Red Dwarf as a MOD file!

@@eDoc2020 : Well, yes it is part of the mpeg 4 container construct, BUT m4a files are mainly provided by a certain music store for a certain range of uncomfortable and locked down music player devices. Those m4a files are endemic to only this rotten platform, you will rarely see them anywhere else. Add to that, that those m4a files are usually encrypted and a hassle to cleanly decrypt, so any m4a crap is to be avoided at all costs. Better you search a bit longer and deeper and you may find a beautiful FLAC rip for further processing to the audio format of your choice. M4a is kinda like the wma sh*t with its content encryption and access rights management and "custom" codecs provided by shady hosts. Such is to be avoided and stomped at first glance.

I think the Pentium OverDrive 83 just doesn't have the oomph to decode M4A files. M4A uses AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), which was first established in 1997, so it was probably designed with sixth-gen CPUs like the Pentium II in mind. A YT channel called CPU Galaxy recently did a video seeing what type of 486 was needed to decode MP3 in MXPlay on DOS; it would be interesting to see a follow-up seeing what the minimum CPU for decoding AAC/M4A files is. My guess would probably be a Pentium MMX or maybe one of the higher-clocked vanilla Pentium CPUs.

@eDoc2020 3 жыл бұрын

I have a P5-166 which can be underclocked down to 75Mhz. I suppose I could try playing AAC there with different CPU clocks and see where it breaks down. But who am I kidding, I'll never get around to that.

@eDoc2020 3 жыл бұрын

Actually I just thought about it. The 83MHz OverDrive (assuming he still has that installed) seems like it has maybe 60% of the oomph needed. That would mean you'd need a 133-150MHz Pentium. However the OverDrive is using the slower 486 bus. With the faster Pentium bus I'd guess a 100MHz CPU would be enough.
