Re: your favorite sound chip?
Didn't expect this topic to come back from the dead.
It's also worth noting that the patch set for the Konami VRC7 has finally been extracted from the chip itself by putting it in debug mode. Previously emulator and NSF player developers had to guess the approximate FM values for each of the predefined patches. Now, NukeYKT has dumped the exact values for the predefined patches by hardwiring the chip into a debug mode. He was also able to dump the 3 drum patches. Yes, the vrc7 has drums in debug mode, but before you get excited, they don't seem to produce any sound on any of the pins, since it seems like the VRC7 doesn't have an RO pin like the YM2413/OPLL does, but if you try to trigger the drums their patches do show up in the debug registers, so the VRC7 must still be trying to play them.
As far as I'm concerned alpha versions of Mesen and NSFPlay are the only ones that started using this new patch set.
As for post 52, hmm, never heard of these. Will have to take a look.
