This one's been fixed - it was a bug in SimCoupe itself rather than in Dave's DLL. It still had the original code doing an absolute compare for the sound register address, rather than an a mask and compare, which the MOD player seems to make use of. The bug is still in the alpha version on my site, but I'll sort out a 2nd release early next week when I'm back. > Another sound bug, playing tunes which have envelopes enabled for > saw waves, etc (eg, a lot of Roger Hartley tunes) the enveloped > channels sound out of tune, especially at low frequencies. I'm not sure about this one, but Dave has made some changes to the envelope stuff recently that might include it. Try grabbing the latest version from: http://www.geocities.com/stripwax/ to see if it sorts it out. If it's not that it might be another bug in the previous WinCoupe version, which only called through to SAASound.dll when the data register was written to; register selection writes were just cached for the register to use next time data was written. This was wrong as multiple writes to port 511 do seem to affect the sound output (in a way that I don't really understand but Dave proved to me!). > Now an idea for Wincoupe itself: I think it would handy if there was some > indication, perhaps on the title bar, of when the disk drives are being > accessed, so during some long pauses I can tell that it's not > crashed. Yeah, I did think Lemmings had crashed when the music stopped and I couldn't move the mouse, which felt rather like Windows had crashed on me! I've not added motor off support (after 10 revolutions or something) to the floppy controller, but do have some green lights planned for the edge of the screen - something I've seen on an Amiga emulator I think. > maybe you could even mimic the screen dimming as the drives are > spun up! ;-) hehe! And adding a buzzing to the sound output, especially when the drive is stepped (it does that one my real SAM anyway!). > BTW, I think WinCoupe is excellent and I LOVE IT!!!! :-) Si
