Next JavaCPC will come with internal YM-fileplayer

[Devilmarkus]

Hello folks!

I am actually coding on a YM-filerecorder and player for my JavaCPC emulator.

Actually it can:

- Record up to 40 hours YM music into 1 YM file (interleaved)

- Playback interleaved and non-interleaved YM files

- Playback of Amstrad CPC and! Atari ST YM files with 2000000hz!

it cannot:

- LHA crunch/uncrunch YM files, so crunched YM files are not supported

- Playback ZX Spectrum YM files (I am working on it)

Preview:

- here (playback of "Speedball 2" tune from Atari ST)

I hope, you will like this feature coming with next release...

Cheers,

Markus

Hi,

Just a word of caution, the YM file format is depreciated in the Atari ST world. We use the SNDH format instead. I know you are interested in the CPC aspect of the soundchip but still you may want to take a look at http://sndplayer.atari.org/

Still, a pretty cool feature.

I don't know much about SNDH format.

But all songs seems to be ICE! crunched.

There does not exist a JAVA library for ICE! cruncher.

Where is it possible to get SNDH specifications? Documentation for file format, header info, YM registers, etc... ?

I finished coding the YM-Recorder/Player in JavaCPC.

You can also download a beta-version there.

Yes, I know what you mean. The sndh archive has all tunes ICE packed. About the sndh format you can read the description here:

Also take a look at the sc68 homepage.
