OK, so I have; - a MacBook running OSX (10.5.x) - a FamicomAV And I want to be able to use the Famicom to test out music (reference sound, as there is no substitute for hardware) and play a few games etc. What do I need from the PowerPak shop? Will just the basic PowerPak cart suit my needs, do I ne...

Still cool how it sounds like it plays the cymbals and hi-hats simultaneously on the DOWN sample. In a traditional NES music engine, that would correspond to treating the cymbals as "instruments" and the hi-hats as "sound effects". I have my drums on a virtual track to achieve t...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a noble effort and if you could make it work with pitch too I'd definitely use it. Do you mean fix the sample-rate thing? Or using two voices? Yep, using multiple voices. I appreciate that that may make it massively more complicated. Seems like I'm the only one conc...

I got the code compiling with ASM6. Pretty interesting experiment though I was right about the sounds

Cool idea but somewhat limited if only using the noise channel. There are pitch/tonal qualities to many percussion sounds that can't be simulated with noise alone. Yeah -- I've seen the simulators that use one sine and one white noise source behind a VCF, that work remarkably well. My rationale for...

Cool idea but somewhat limited if only using the noise channel. There are pitch/tonal qualities to many percussion sounds that can't be simulated with noise alone. I always found the best way was to do it by ear - load a drum sample into a sample editor and play it back at 1/2 or 1/4 speed. You can ...

New demo song on the website - enjoy

Tepples : I was about to embark on writing my own WAV->DPCM tool but stumbled across this thread while looking for info on DMCCONV.

Nice job, saved me some considerable work.

Compiled first time in Xcode (OSX) too. Nice.

I noticed that when I pause Nestopia emulation, it recenters the DC killer. That caused problems when I tried to record my volume test program . Ah, that would explain the waveform I saw when I recorded the output of Nestopia. You see a short positive DC offset that normalises itself over a few fra...

No worries, man. Thanks for trying the other emulators. So can you report that you had it happen in Nestopia but not in any other?

sta #$400a ; <-- I'm assuming that '#' is a typo This sounds like a problem with NEStopia. Nothing in the code you posted would cause a pop/click/whatever. Oops, yeah, typo. Strangely it compiled OK :) I'm hoping it's a Nestopia issue. It doesn't happening in Audio Overload, as I said, but it's a m...

Are you sure this is coming from the Triangle and not another channel? Try silencing all other channels and see if it goes away. Square/DMC are much more likely to be causing pops than the triangle. Can you provide a recording of the audio? The only way I know of that you can make a pop with the tr...

In a bid to eliminate a possible Nijuu bug, I removed the calls to Nijuu and in the reset code just did this; lda #$88 sta $4008 lda #$ff sta $4009 lda #$00 sta #$400a lda #%00000010 sta $400b And at approximate $2d0 frames in, you get a click. Can some people try it and see if you get the same? Als...

Tried using $88/$00 as on/off and it's the same.

I even tried just writing $88 and instead of writing a $00 to turn the voice off, I disabled it in $4015.

No different.

Quick typo correction : it should've been $2d0 not $240.

Sorry
