So in windows I've made a demo scene clip with old skool demo scene maker but the thing is saying exe format that's a windows executable or can this be launched in AROS ONE please?

I've made some somgs to now pin to this scene layout and just wanted to make more and publish them they are all made from scratch splicing samlles together all legal of course.

The problem is the media tab gives loads of things like protrekkr etc for the song but I don't understand why it's dumping an exe as the finished exported file and that it has no playable audio can't you just go .mp3 for the song instead of allxthese tracker things etc as I cannot understand what I a. doing.

I will try prottrekker as the audio as I believe it is included in AROS then try to open it in wimdows with that installed first.

JumpingKiwi, Windows executables cannot run on AROS, just as they do not run on MAC or other OS, unless there is an interpreter such as Wine on Linuz,

Prottrekker is installed on AROS One, but there are other Players that handle the most common audio formats, an example can be found in the Extras:MusicFile folder, each format is associated with the correct Player.

The right question is how do I make a demoscene without coding for AROS to play using Windows then please?

Looking at it it's complex to produce them I might just stick to video but that's not something I'm publishing on places like YouTube they weee meant to be published for Amiga users this is why I was aiming for a demoscene which I had created with a simole background art and floating text in the windoes tool only it's giving media tracker options so I now presume it doesn't do actual mp3 rather the extension files of these trackers listed to choose from it's expectingctheir formats to then implant into it not a real song.

So another idea is firstly finding a way to not oblittorate a mp3 and converting itcto compatible tracker format for old skool demoscene maker for Windows if that is even possible now?

I don't quite understand what you want to do, which application do you use to create demoscenes on Windows? can you put the link?

ODSM (old skool demo scene maker) I dio have an idea it makes it clunky and not an executable of any kind that is olay the demo made with the audio as mp3 and just screen record them they will just be video but as a demoscene video not a standard artwork background then.

I've made my own songs I wanted them to be demoscene files but I can't do it as mp3 and I can't understand howxto make a mp3 into a music tracker to import into a demo maker without destroyig the song by making it mido file fiirst basicay then loading it into a tracker and making a chiptune track out of it it's probablycto complex bei g mp3 to run in trackers being as it would be multi layered with around 10+ instruments then.

It is indeed complicated to port them to AROS, possibly check with user "Farox" who has ported some Demo Scenes to AROS:

Sorry i have not understand fully what you are looking for...but i'll try to help with some facts.

AROS is an OS (Operative System) not directly compatible with Windows, Linux, MacOS...and Amiga 68k executable.
If you have done something with a Demomaker that create some demo runnable only on Windows or Amiga, sorry you could not run directly on AROS. You could execute Amiga 68k and DOS programs/demo/games with the use of an emulator (DOSBox for DOS and UAE for Amiga for example).

Different thing if you have the sources (some .c or .c++ and .h files) of a program/game/demo, but you should take in mind that if a program/demo/game is designed/programmed only for Windows/Linux/MacOS/Amiga...you should make a port to make it run.
Porting from another OS, could be easy or very difficult, and sometimes almost impossible for the amount of work needed, depend much on the code/Libs (library) used to compile and your programming skills.
Most of my ports are Linux based and use more or less the same libs available on AROS...so they are easy ports.
If you have some music files (like .mp3, mod, wav and so on) you could play fine on AROS.
Hope i made things more clear...if not feel free to ask.

Also you can make demos with Hollywood that run in all Amiga systems.
