S98Player for iPhone 2.0

S98Player is a specialized application designed for the playback of sound logs in S98 format and PMD files, which are recordings from Yamaha FM sound chips such as OPN, OPNA, and OPM. These chips were extensively utilized in the PC-9801 series computers, making the software particularly relevant for enthusiasts and researchers interested in vintage audio formats.

The app offers several noteworthy features, including album art display, loop and shuffle playback options, and customizable playback volume controls. Recently, support for CarPlay has been added, enabling users to enjoy chiptune music conveniently while on the move.

Key Features:

• Compatibility with S98 (versions 1 and 3) and PMD file formats
• High-quality FM synthesis reproduction powered by ymfm
• Individual volume control for FM, SSG, rhythm, and ADPCM sound sources
• Looped playlist playback and album-based navigation
• CarPlay integration for seamless vehicle use
• Streamlined file management via the Files app

Regarding Rhythm Files

This application requires specific rhythm files (2608_BD.WAV, 2608_HH.WAV, 2608_RIM.WAV, 2608_SD.WAV, 2608_TOM.WAV, 2608_TOP.WAV) or the ym2608_adpcm_rom.bin file to function correctly. The absence of these files will prevent proper playback.

Files should be transferred using the Files app and stored within a folder named "S98Player" located inside "On My iPhone."
