Is there an extension that allows mod file playback that is supported by the android exporter?
No, there is no extension for module playback on Android devices and I can hardly imagine you could simply create an extension for this purpose.
At the moment Fusion reacts to those formats already by converting the files into huge wav files when you build the APK.
It would be a great feature though and I hope we can have this feature in a future build of the Android Exporter!
(module playback on Android devices - .mod and .xm support would be cool enough)
Especially AndModPlug(first entry) looks like something that could eventually work with the Android Exporter.
Maybe Clickteam could draw up an agreement with the developer.
The Indie game developer Patrick Casey(peculiar-games.com) made an Android port(AndModPlug) of the libmodplug Mod library -
More information on his website: libmodplug in Android
A test app is also available on Google Play(Link).
Another thing I found is the Xmp Mod Player(Google Play link) which supports many module formats and variations.
Extended Module Player - library libxmp: http://xmp.sourceforge.net/
Libxmp is a library that renders module files to PCM data.
Thanks, I didn't think there was, shame there probably won't be anything until at least fusion 3 is released, outside of oggs, are there any other interesting music formats supported on android?
Maybe for fusion 3?
did you gents found a game using theses libs?, if so point me at them, this lib is heavy during gaming
Fernando - Thanks for your reply.
There are three games available on Google Play which use AndModPlug port of libmodplug. AndModPlug supports MOD and XM tracker format.
The first two games use MOD soundtrack and the latest game Microchip Monsters uses XM tracker format.

I couldn't find any information about games which use Libxmp library for tracker music playback.
thanks for the info I will test them.
want to see how they behave in action
How possible would it be for a genius to port an android mod playing plugin? I'd pay for the finished piece without doubt.
is not the port what we are always concern is the lag that may introduce to the runtime, this si something we r always checking, I will check those games in different devices and see how it behave, and then I will have an answer.
@fernando mod files used to be renouned for their lightweightness, I can't see how they'd be any heavier than an ogg would be?
