Title: Alternative visualizers
Post by: ariszlo on May 27, 2021, 10:41:29 AM

MilkDrop (http://www.geisswerks.com/about_milkdrop.html) is the best visualizer ever made for Winamp, imho, but I cannot stop myself trying out alternatives. Let me share with you what I have just found.

It really surprised me that SoundSpectrum (https://www.soundspectrum.com/) still actively developed music visualizers which support, among others, Winamp. You cannot directly install SoundSpectrum's visualizers for WACUP but you can copy over the dll's from Winamp's Plugins directory. I have tried all their visualizers in Big Bento Modern and they run seamlessly. :)

These are the dll's of the visualizers:

• vis_Aeon.dll
• vis_G-Force.dll
• vis_SoftSkies.dll
• vis_WhiteCap.dll
• vis_WinterWonders.dll

I have found another one. Similarly to SoundSpectrum's visualizers, Morphyre (http://www.morphyre.com/) cannot be installed directly for WACUP but you can copy over vis_Morphyre.dll from Winamp's Plugins directory to WACUP's.

Unlike other visualizers, Morphyre toggles fullscreen with the F key.

Tripex3 was the third most downloaded visualizer at Winamp.com (https://web.archive.org/web/20140122070340/http://www.winamp.com/visualizations/visualizations/1/most-downloaded) after Geiss (http://www.geisswerks.com/geiss/) and Milkdrop (http://www.geisswerks.com/about_milkdrop.html).

This is how you can install it for WACUP:

• Download Version 3.12 (http://download.nullsoft.com/customize/component/2005/9/17/P/Tripex3-12.exe) (earlier versions will not run on recent versions of Windows).
• Install it into WACUP's Plugins directory.
• Rename vis-tx3.dll to vis_tx3.dll

The last step is necessary because WACUP only recognizes visualizers whose filenames begin with vis_
