_The Doctor__ Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 What games/demos/loaders play gtia / pokey music/sfx while loading, not cassette audio? I can't remember all that do this, and I remember discussions about it.... can a list of what does it, or is capable of it be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I don't think anything commercial in the day did so. In theory you could probably do 4 channel audio - channel 1 and 2 in conventional mode. Channels 3 + 4 determine the incoming bitrate but the AUDC should be free to do digital sample playback. Given there's only 2 or 3 bytes per TV frame coming in that leaves plenty of cycles free for all sorts of other stuff that could be done.

Rybags Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I had the impression we were talking cassette loaded games only? Plenty of disk based games, and fairly sure there's a list somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
