Typhoon_Z
Landy: You are at the point that you are adding sound!?

Landy: 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 ;-)

tz: 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...

Landy: Well, that gives you 15 days =)
