I used to play MODs on my LCII with Sound-Trecker. Try it out, it might work better. [https://www.macintoshrepository.org/993-sound-trecker-v2-0-1-v2-2](https://www.macintoshrepository.org/993-sound-trecker-v2-0-1-v2-2)

The LCIII does have a 68030 clocked at 25 MHz.

My Atari Falcon has 030 in it and plays mods no problem. Definitely not the CPU's fault.

Probably want then. I’m pretty sure PlayerPro here was more for 040s and PPC Macs, and has a lot more going on.

Weird, considering the 1040 has an older slower chip. I guess it's to do with the management of the hardware, Mac OS must be bloated to multitask properly??

Wait Is that music creating software for old mac os? If so then what is it becuse I would rather have that for Mac os 8 in my iBook then making it super slow with OSX for garage band

Kinda, it’s called PlayerPro. It’s more for MOD and MIDI files though if that’s your thing.

Thexder 4 voice driver worked on my Mac Plus just fine (with poor game performance) so I was wondering if a MOD player could be written but this 030 is struggling.

Another reply said there is one, called sound tracker. It works really well actually. Apparently there’s also an even older version of it for system 6 that may work on 68000 machines?

The Amiga 600 was killing it in comparison.

It was mostly just the software being way too heavy for it. I downloaded a much lighter MOD player and it’s way better. It even plays in 22khz! Although no .XM, .SM3, or .IT support. Oh well.
