Re: IC mixing video
There is an old RGB encoder chip that's found in some Master System models that has two RGB inputs with means to select between them (I no longer remember the part number of it). I'm not aware of any other all in one things.

Re: Looking for latest GEMS
For now I'm really busy with other things but eventually I could wire up the chips to a counter and record the outputs and give the dump of that, assuming it will be necessary. I don't think the chips do anything more than address decode stuff and their function should be easy to guess. I also tried...

Re: Looking for latest GEMS
I have dumped the GALs and the labelled chip and unfortunately the GALs seem to be protected, fusemap reads as all ones, with ID bits giving a pattern. But the labelled chip does look like a good dump. In addition I stripped most parts off the cart and took some photos that should be good enough for...

Re: Mega Mouse unused nibbles research
There's also the question of why the Nomad doesn't take the Sports Pad… but then again, I recall hearing it doesn't like the link cable in Zero Tolerance? (ironically, since two Nomads would have been the perfect way to use it) Not sure how true is that but I wouldn't be surprised if there's someth...

Re: Cart Design Questions
You should use multiple vias for the power traces whenever possible. Looking good otherwise ~

Re: How DAC works ?
YM2612 outputs for one cycle every 6 cycles (one channel time), while YM3438 output at 5 (at least I recall gaps between each channel) of these 6 cycles IIRC. This gives 3438 much better SNR and also makes it need much less amplification and easier filter to get good output level compared to 2612. T...

Japanese MegaCD BIOS 1.00C

Re: Questions on writing a new Mega CD emulator
The big filters are for bandwidth limiting and are responsible for the characteristics of the passband ripple and whatever goes on in the stopband. This isn't really useful to model, especially since whatever plays the sound will do its own stuff like that, mangling whatever you did (and you need to...

Re: MD-NICCC - a 3D Mega Drive experience by TiTAN
Write strobe is passed but in only works from accesses from 68K side, SH2s can only produce read cycles in cart area. I don't know if this is a limitation due to bus management chip or SH2 configuration registers caused problem. You're not supposed to change those registers after initial setup but I...

Re: MD-NICCC - a 3D Mega Drive experience by TiTAN
That's good to know, another mod to add to a 32X to make it more useful. Just need to figure out how exactly should overriding stuff work lol

Re: MD-NICCC - a 3D Mega Drive experience by TiTAN
Then I remember wrong. I recall that it used one such area that 32X didn't pass through and possibly used it for itself thus SVP cannot run through it but seems only A15xxx range is used by SVP outside normal stuff. But it could just be the DMA latency issue I just read about from your docs. 32X doe...

Re: Cart Design Questions
You can use !AS to latch the current address for decode purposes etc. I'm not sure if DMA uses it or not though.
