Sound chip inputs or triggering

[walters]

How do i put inputs to the sound chips on atari's?

 

Where does the sounds come from the software code?

 

How do i Trigger the sounds off the atari's chips inside the atari

with out having the game code?

The sound chips are controlled by software that writes to registers and memory locations that control the sound output. You can't drive the chips directly by hooking up power to the pins. If you are trying to capture the game sounds from a particular game, you will have to copy or else duplicate the programming code.

output:

Is there a way to make this hardware directly without any software?

having direct output jacks

 

Input:

you will have to copy or else duplicate the programming code.

 

Where do i get to copy or duplicate the games programming code?

 

 

Does the games programming code just change the settings on the Ataris

ROM chip? like turns on and off the sound and sets the variables and functions

of the Ataris ROM sound card chip inside?

 

Is the Ataris ROM sound card chips what are they really?

are they programmable sythn sound card chips? 8 bit?

A ROM chip is memory. ROM=Read Only Memory. The sound generation hardware is special IC chips. It's not entirely clear what you are trying to do, but what is clear is that you don't have a good understanding of the basics. Without that understanding you don't have much of a chance. So read on on everyhting you can find out about the basics. Try the google mentioned above.
