The 1193182 Hz and 1193184 Hz and 1193181.666 Hz makes no difference because crystals have error about +/-20ppm at standard temperature. Thank you mkarcher and ripsaw8080 for your answers. It is about 54.9254 ms. It is not 55 ms.

Thank you ripsaw8080. It means the crystal frequency is 1193182 Hz and the "8254" timer counts to 65536 (interrupt at overflow)? It also means that OPL2/OPL3 frequency isn't 49716 Hz but 49715,91(6) Hz.

This interrupt is named ninetenth seconds interrupt (1/18 s). Part of sources states the interval is 55 ms. Part of sources states the interval is 65536/1193180 s = 54.925493 ms and part states the interval is 65536/1193184 s = 54.925309 ms. Where is the truth?... I need correct frequency to …

It sounds like some buffer ran out during playback or perhaps some cutoff (16-bit overflow)? Do not forget that in Additive Synth mode the output can be greater than 16-bit. The multiplier is set to 32/32 for the rhythm channels using it (forced full according to documentation, as it it was set to …

That 8088 player has many bugs. But you also have a problem because that player on DBOPL has no strange noise in crystal2.HSC (at 1:00 - 1:05). You can compare playback on UniPCEmu and from dosbox (you can record WAV with Ctrl+F6). without rhytm mode the differences with playing at 44100 (dosbox) …

I started my implementation of OPL2 like emulator about 1-2 months ago. The library is now finished. Maybe I find some bugs and I will correct them. Maybe I implement CSM if there was anything interesting there (unimplemented in many emulators). You started to implement your OPL2/OPL3 GNU-licensed …
