Ninja The Dreams: yes, of course the ROMs would be included (PAL/NTSC kernal, and basic).
The existing SID formats could be a good starting point, maybe even SIDplay2 can be modified for playing Plus/4 sound instead of C64.
Luca: having SID emulation in the player is easy to do; it might not be very useful, but there may be some programs that use TED and SID sound at the same time. By the way, I also used reSID code - which is in SIDplay2 - in my emulator.
What information should be included in the .ted files ? Should it be possible to play original .prg data, using only the extra information in the header to select tracks etc. ? Some ideas:
- header for identifying the file format and version
- name of the tune, author, etc.
- machine configuration (PAL/NTSC, memory size)
- information about running the program (for example, jump addresses, RUN line numbers, or code to be executed for initialization, selecting tracks, etc.)
