candle Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 just wonder... is there any piece of music utilising quad pokey? i know star wars from 1983 did use 4 pokey chips, but i couldn't find (in 10 minutes that is) any VGM or other suitable format i could use to test my implementation if someone could post here some examples it would be great 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi Candle . You got me curious with your question. Can you describe what your implementation actually is? As for the quad pokey music sample, I'm sorry to say I can't be of any help with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 In a short search I robot major Havoc and Firefox apparently used quad pokeys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Maybe you'll have to create one? Get an existing stereo song, modify the instruments. Then create a merged executable with the original, modifying the addresses for the extra 2 Pokeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I wonder if some tunes/effects could be lifted from arcade games? https://forums.arcade-museum.com/archive/index.php/t-390819.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Unsure if this is commonly known info (from that link) C012294B-01 AMI C012294-03 Signetics C012294-22 OKI C012294-31 IMP There must be others too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 if MAME can launch star wars, havoc and firefox it should be doable to get vgm dump, so yes, they could i don't know if VGM player supports 4 pokeys right now, but this is WIP so it won't be complicated to add this as for my implementation, this is old project of mine with cpld implementation of pokey chip and hardware synthetizer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Willy Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Read through that old topic, and the thing that stuck out the most? I was told by Engineering Management, "No. We don't want people to know that a Quad Pokey is four Pokeys." Why are managers such clueless idiots? I'm sure every engineer and programmer rolled their eyes at that one. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
