uFMOD (or μFMOD) is a freeware audio player library written in x86 assembly language. It is used to load and play audio files in XM format.
In the library name, the lowercase u letter is the micro symbol μ [3]
The uFMOD source code can be compiled using FASM.[4]
| Operating System | Audio Libraries |

| Microsoft Windows | WinMM, DirectSound, OpenAL |
| Linux | OSS, ALSA, OpenAL |
| FreeBSD | OSS |
| KolibriOS | Infinity Sound Audio Library |
The uFMOD library was ported to several programming languages and development environments:
The AOCRYPT cryptographic engine uses uFMOD to ensure a specific executable file size.[8] The patcher dUP2[9] uses uFMOD to play background music.
Games using uFMOD
[edit | edit source]Due to its small size, the uFMOD is used in compact video games to play background music, for example:
- Lunar Jetman Remake,[10] a PC remake of the ZX Spectrum original.
- Four-in-a-row,[11] an open source game for Windows and Linux.
- Shooter 2D,[7] an open source shooter implemented for the Independent Games Developers Contests (IGDC).
- Diamond Fighters,[12] a freeware 2D arcade for Linux.
