Information
- MOD file format by Thunder, with notes and corrections from ByteRaver and 8bitbubsy
- MOD Player Tutorial by FireLight - a step-by-step guide to writing a MOD player.
Ultimate Soundtracker, which introduced the module file format, uses a somewhat different format from the more modern versions of the format. A summary of the differences can be found here.
File format tags
In addition to the standard 4-channel MOD, there are a number of extensions to the MOD format supporting various numbers of channels. These modules can be identified by means of the file format tag at offset 1080.
