Sega CD MP3 Player?
I recently acquired a Sega CD and I was wondering if it would be possible to make MP3 player software for it so I can listen to my favorite songs with my television using 1 CD.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I read somewhere that some companies did very light software mp3 player... But they call "light" something that run on a 25mhz risc, probably...
However, a 16Khz/8bit/mono have a 128Kbs bitrate (like a 128Kbs 44khz Stereo mp3 ^^), approx 10 hours of music per disc.
It is possible to make a player that stream 48khz/8bit/mono music... The quality would be nice (If I'm not wrong, almost CD quality for basic sound system). That's 384Kbs bitrate, 3 hours of music per disc ^^.
But It's just for the fun ^^ I wouldn't risk to kill my lens by listening to music everyday using my Megacd ^^
I did two streaming "engines" for megacd, if you want to take a look at the sources, don't hesitate to ask!
Héhé, good luck!

68030 is more advanced than 68010 and 68000, and probably not compatible (new instructions and features).

Yes, but the speeds are tremendously different. First, the 030 clock is about four times as fast. Second, the 030 uses fewer clock cycles per instruction than the 000. Third, the 030 has both instruction and data caches, while the 000 has no cache at all.tinctu wrote:68000 is like 286 (but much better than 286...) 68030 is like 386DX/40...
But with some hardware MP3 encoder in cartrige maybe...
So the 68000 has no hope at all of decoding mp3 in real-time. I has seen a number of folks on the net who interfaced external MP3 decoder chips to the Genesis, like you suggest at the end. That is you only hope of MP3 on a Genny.
