32X Sound System

[jlf65]

Yes, between the faster rendering (compared to the first demo conversion in particular), the background music, and the sound effects, it's ALMOST like a real game.

Normly with the archives you had the source but why wan't there the source for this one,I wanted to try to do something with yeti3d?
Edit:Never mind you have the full archive on spritemind and now to figure out makefiles and how to edit model files

[jlf65]

I'm not sure if that was the latest code or not, so here's a freshly made archive of just the code.

I try to keep my makefiles as simple as possible. I hate it when people make needlessly complicated makefiles. Anyway, if you want to compile it for the 32X, you'll need to make the toolchain - there's a thread on SpritesMind in the tools forum on that.

OK, finally used your PWM audio patch for Gens/GS, rebuilt my r7 binary (i'm on Fedora Core 6, so my GTK is old enough to not give build issues ), and... I'M LOVIN' IT!

Neat stuff, the 32X surely is not just a moldy mushroom

Thanks! The 32X was perfect for tracker style digital music. I would like to believe that if SEGA hadn't dropped the 32X in 95 that devs would have been using DMA PWM and tracker music for games. The official 32X SDK has SEGA making devs use the "standard" Genesis music format with the addition of being able to play four sounds via the PWM (which is interrupt driven). Lame!

im sorry for posting my question on the 32X it was inapropriate for me to hope for any answers.
i apologize for the bother of the unneeded inquiriy.
and will no longer waste your time.

If you have to ask, then no, I don't think you can do it. Sorry. It's one of those things that shows whether you have the appropriate skills yet.

Sega CD programs can activate the 32X by copying the proper header and data to the 32X frame buffer, then set the comm register to "_CD_". For more specific info, consult the 32X SDK floating around the net. They have 32X/CD examples.

Said examples could be done from BEX, but you'd have to learn how the examples do it, then get good enough at BEX to do the same thing from inside BEX.
