MESS 0.153…The next generation of Atari 7800 emulation

[tep392]

This is the x68000 Namco Video Game Music Library Vol. 1 which I'll be ripping my Dig Dug sfx and music from. This is were I got the Pac-man samples I used in the YM2151 demo.

it probably depends on the clock of the YM2151

what oscillator does drive it on the XM? this info could be of help

Now THAT sounds like PACMAN!! Ya think the 7800 version could sound like that some day? I know it would take lots of work and so on but just asking if it is possible?

Those Pac-Man ports for the X68000 that I posted are good, but tep392's [Thank you for the file ] posted file producing even closer to arcade accurate sounds.

 

Here's what the file Namco Video Game Music Library Vol 1 (1989)(Namco-Dempa)axdf.zip sounds like under the X68000 emulator:

Honestly don't know if those files ripped to "7800/XM" format and under the real XM/7800 hardware will sound that good though (Pardon my ignorance).

 

Nonetheless, the X68000 is extremely close to sounding like an original Pac-Man arcade machine (1,6,7,8 you can definitely hear a difference). It has some amazing Arcade ports overall, and the prime reason I took an interest in it (OK, it's port of Castlevania (Chronicles) too ).
