+slx Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Afaik there are no region-specific POKEYs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think once it's fully functional, including all the weird nonstandard stuff I've been doing with POKEY. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Also POKEYs are not region dependent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecernosoft Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hey! If anyone could explain how POKEY works on the atari 7800, that would be great since I couldn't get any noise from the POKEY on the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIO2 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 7800 does not have a POKEY built in. Individual games that support POKEY sound need to have a POKEY on the game cartridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a POKEY concerto ... But when I try to hear the music there, it is dead silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these should play ok as they are currently mapped to mostly work (for example a 128kRam cart can have difficulty on Concerto currently and will need modification to play) with the Concerto but it can still depend on the location of the pokey (memory wise - $4000, $450 etc). The other condition if your console has been modded then whether that has been connected correctly. Firstly can you get Commando or Ballblazer playing ok?
