uFMOD (or μFMOD) is a freeware audio player library written in
x86
x86 (also known as 80x86 or the 8086 family) is a family of complex instruction set computer (CISC) instruction set architectures initially developed by Intel based on the Intel 8086 microprocessor and its 8088 variant. The 8086 was introd ...
assembly language.
It is used to load and play audio files in
XM format.
In the library name, the lowercase u letter is the micro symbol μ
The uFMOD source code can be compiled using
FASM.
The uFMOD library was ported to several
programming languages and development environments:
The ''AOCRYPT'' cryptographic engine uses uFMOD to ensure a specific executable file size. The
patcher ''dUP2'' uses uFMOD to play background music.
Games using uFMOD
Due to its small size, the uFMOD is used in compact video games to play background music, for example:
* Lunar Jetman Remake, a PC remake of the ZX Spectrum original.
* Four-in-a-row, an open source game for Windows and Linux.
* Shooter 2D,
an open source shooter implemented for the ''Independent Games Developers Contests'' (IGDC).
* Diamond Fighters,
a freeware 2D arcade for Linux.
