Actuially YMF262 was developed in 1990 and first released in 1991(on Sound Blaster Pro 2). Is the output of Nuked 100.0% bit-by-bit the same as the data that is going to the YAC512? I understand that code based on the die-shot reverse engineering should produce exactly the same data, but has it for …

Yes, it was interesting to see the old Creative promotion stuff for the AWE64 on archive.org. They really went out of their way to show that their own FM and AWE32 synths sound like crap, so surely you need to buy the new AWE64 :) Their examples are super contrived, like using super short amplitude …

Ok, but the EMU8000 has provisions for individual reverb and chorus send levels for every of the 30 voices. Does that mean the WaveSynth only has global effects send?

I wouldn't know where else to ask this somewhat obsolete question... I never owned an AWE64, but apparently it had 64 voices, but 32 of them were software voices using the Creative WaveSynth, a version of Seer Systems Sondius WaveGuide synthesizer. Interestingly, the same softsynth used by Yamaha …

I might potentially be able to help (don't get your hopes up though), but I can't find a way to contact you.

I don't have the hardware anymore, but I would like to try and program a little routine that might one day become a retro game. Is the 8514A emulation in DOSBox or other emulators accurate enough for development of programs intended to run on actual hardware? I'm talking about the GUI acceleration …
