RMT question...

[dwhyte]

To get the RMT player source working on NTSC systems, is it just a matter of using different sync counter spacings? If that's the case, is there anywhere out there where it's listed? I couldn't find anything relating to this question on AA here, though I may not have refined my search enough...

maybe Sal can answer the question how they managed the 50/60 issue in Tempest regarding the msx?

Yes, you can see this constants in example source code

asm_src/music.a65

at line 69 there is:

tabpp dta 156,78,52,39 ;line counter spacing table for instrument speed from 1 to 4

 

It goes from 156/1=156,156/2=78,156/3=52,156/4=39

 

and part

acpapx1 lda #$ff ;parameter overwrite (sync line counter value)

clc

acpapx2 adc #$ff ;parameter overwrite (sync line counter spacing)

cmp #156

bcc lop4

sbc #156

 

#156 goes from 156 screen lines in total.

 

So, for NTSC there should be another values.

But beware of CPU performance (With instrument speed 4 there can be problem) and VBI interrupt (which can engage CPU and VCOUNT comparation will not work):

cmp VCOUNT ;vertical line counter synchro
