so that I can put progress news on Archaic Ruins?
- Landy
- hmmm.. i currecntly work at sound problem.. thats all ;-)
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: You are at the point that you are adding sound!?
Do you have games like "Contra" and "Castlevania" playable on LandyNES?
- Landy
- i work on it because it's hardest part for me.. ;-)
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Well, is it emulating the sound, or getting sound to work
that is hard?
- BaTNiG
- is there a new nes emulator? landynes??? wierd name but ehhe
- Typhoon_Z
- LandyNES isn't the official name =)
- Landy
- hmm... i runed SuperCOntra only once... and it's screwed ...
mapper #4 very wierd...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Well, that sounds like its running some things though!
Does "Zelda" play?
BaT: Landy has been making an NES emulator before interNES was
even begun =)
- Landy
- as i told i do DigitalSOund.. i hate FM and other punks ;-)
- BaTNiG
- hm,mm landy gimmie a copy!! hehe
- Typhoon_Z
- BaT: Its not out =)
- BaTNiG
- hehe typhoon. been away from console scene to long ehhe
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: But is it the emulator, or just getting sound to work? I
mean, you DO know how to do FM sound right?
- Landy
- hmm... sources what marat gets from me have header: iNES private NES
emulator... ;-)
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Marat gave you his source? =)
- Teego
- Landys code was the foundation for iNES, right?
- Typhoon_Z
- Teego: Landy's CPU engine, yes
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Do you think you might have FM Sound done by Wednesday? I
want a GOOD Christmas present =)
- Landy
- sure i have sources of iNES... but who need code what slow like hell?
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: h0h0h0! I love hearing you make fun of interNES =)... the
source will at least tell you how to do FM Sound...
- Landy
- i don't have dox about sound... some guys not share it with me... but
i now prepare proggie for NES what helps record some tunes...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: You still haven't answered whether you "Can't emulate
sound" or "Can't get FM Sound working"
Landy: Well, I have source in C to play FM sound that I got from
the Sound Blaster page, but I'm sure that you have source to do
FM sound (VGB had it etc.)
- Landy
- i not finish routine what prepare WAV(44Khz) file from SoundTrackFile...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Is it really worth using WAVS? Won't that slow things down!?
Shouldn't the interNES source show how Marat does sound?
- Landy
- tz: try calculate... real NES have 22Khz...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Well, NES doesn't use WAVs though! =)
- Toughius
- Landy-- you should just send it out as midi to port 330 or fm
sound to port 220 (etc.)
- Landy
- for compability i must use 8bit mode/mono
- Toughius
- Don't do digital sounds for music!!!
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Why don't you ask Marat? He's on IRC right now.
- Landy
- 60 fps=60interrupt per sec...
- Toughius
- Why??
- Landy
- 22Kbyte/60= less than 400 bytes..
not very much... if my emu draw full frame... each 1/60 sec...
then i must calculate just 400 bytes... heh...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Why don't you ask Marat about getting sound working
correctly? He's on IRC right now...
- Landy
- tz: DMA player allow play NES sound ;-) his sound not works correctly... he not have full sound info...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Oh.. so your sound WILL be correct, and his won't?
- Landy
- i really hear Sound from Zanac at MSX...
- Landy
- at NES it sounds very bad...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Do you think you might be able to squeeze out a X-Mas
release by Wednesday?
- Landy
- of course not :-)
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: =(.. thats bad. What are you going to get us for X-mas then?
- Toughius
- Is Landy using assembly?
- Typhoon_Z
- Tough: Yes.
- Landy
- Toug: yep...
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Well, interNES for Windows is VERY scary in my opinion. I
can't bear it.
- Conjurer
- tz: Well, the linux version aitn much better :P
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: I liked the dumb release you got out that was REALLY slow
and played Super Mario Bros=)
- Landy
- tz: hmmm... btw.. ChristMas in Russia at 7Jan ;-)
- Toughius
- The digital sounds can done even more easily since they are white
noise.
- Landy
- tz: don't forget ;-)
- Typhoon_Z
- Landy: Hehehehehehe... Well, that gives you 15 days =)
