How to tell if sound effect is currently playing?

[Derrik]

I am looking for a function which does this:

bool mmEffectFinished( mm_word sample_ID );

[Izhido]

So, have you had any luck finding such function?

Nope. Without using a custom build of maxmod I don't think it is possible. I'm surprised MaxMod is missing such basic functionality when it is being pushed as the sound library to use for DS and GBA homebrew.

what about modifying it? It shouldn't be too hard...

edit: in the source code, there's this

Code: Select all

mme_get_channel_index

which seems to me to receive the handler number in r0 and output the channel number on r3... so you just need to write a small wrapper to call this and check if the resulting value is !=-1 (invalid) ...
