Pseym (retro-style YM2612 instrument editor)

Pseym (parameter setter for YM2612) is a retro-style instrument editor for the Yamaha YM2612 FM sound chip (or the functionally equivalent YM3438), found on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Its keyboard-driven user interface aims to make the editing process more efficient. https://raw.githubusercontent....

Clearing the RAM really needed?

Knowing that no RAM address is supposed to be read before being initialized, is it really necessary to clear the entire RAM during the startup instead of simply initializing the used RAM addresses at the proper moment?

The same is supposed for CPU registers.

Nice game and nice music.

FM bass sounds are the best.

After the header, a Genesis game needs an initialization code like this.

If you want to see something on the screen, you need to set the VDP registers, also shown in the link.

GEMS YouTube video

I have just found an interesting video on YouTube. It shows the editor of GEMS, the sound engine used in some Genesis games.

I have my own driver. It can handle FM, PSG and 2 channels of PCM with resampling and a native output frequency of 12Khz. Playback speed is in 8.8 fixed point allowing melodic PCM instruments with a reasonable range. The entire driver runs on the Z80. Currently the tooling is kind of primitive whic...

Your music sounds pretty good. What would you require as far as tooling goes? At this point, having something ready for Demosplash seems unrealistic so I think I'm going to target @party 2015 (unless someone has a better suggestion) which provides plenty of time to work on tools. Thanks. We might t...

I am also a composer, in case you need help. You may want to check out my 1980s style musical project on either YouTube or SoundCloud.

Does the demo work at Genesis' full frame rate (60 FPS in NTSC, 50 in PAL)?

Have you ever seen the Reassembler blog? http://reassembler.blogspot.ca He worked on porting/converting the original OutRun arcade to C. He has a few posts talking about how the roads were done. Yes, I know about Cannonball. I have noticed that while Outrun, as well as the current version of this d...
