BoroPaul Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 OK, seems I am not good at OGG files. Here is the cure song in stereo as an MP3 and an OGG file which WILL load into audacity as 4 distinct tracks. And I have added the finally correct 4 exclusive channel ogg for Rydeen for use in Audacity (or DAWs). cure.mp3 RYDEEN.ogg cure.ogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to convert this to SAP. I'd like to give proper credit in the SAP header. Who wrote the original BASIC code? Did you? What date?

Just I found nowhere such an info... Here you go: v8x.zip The FastBasic version occasionally takes longer than a frame to update. This means it can't be easily be converted to a TYPE-B SAP for the following reason: The ASAP player interrupts the emulated 6502 every frame regardless of whether the last call to the player has returned or not. So, I translated the FastBasic code to straight assembly, pulling my hair out locating mistakes, and then converted that to SAP. I verified it produces an identical trace of POKEY writes to the original except for 4 extra writes to AUDF1 which I didn't bother to track down since they are just repeats of a prior write with the same value. Odd though... The attached .xex and .sap have no glitches. The player is quite efficient when translated to assembly. It appears to average around 2-3 scanlines per frame of computation. I'm fascinated that someone wrote the original in Atari BASIC given that it can't play at full speed. Maybe it was intended for upgraded 8Mhz machines? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thanks a lot @Xuel! I'll add it to ASMA repository shortly.

Rather it was some kind of temporary container of previously composed piece before it was converted into assembly just like you did above. Could it be, @RAM? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is super talented at both music and graphics to this day i still think the graphic in Plastron that he did show what the 8-Bit could do with a little effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
