Hi friends,

I did a new OPL3 emulator that I would like to share with you. I made it available at www.cozendey.com/opl3/opl3.html

There there is an applet that demonstrates it, right in the page.

I hope you enjoy, and have some fun with it.

best wishes,
hexacorde

It's (l)GPLed too! FTW!

Can you sneak in the CMF files of STARFM.CMF? OPL emulators have some trouble with that one (as with doom's e1m1 music and heretic's e1m5 music)

The file starfm.cmf works at the emulator, but it gets out of tune in the rapid passages. This de-tuning problem also occurs, as far as I have listened, in the files action.cmf, jug.cmf and amazing.cmf, all available at chiptunes.back2roots.org (actually, I got the examples files from there 😀

You can't stop the current song, so you can not change tracks while a song is playing. (in your demonstration on your site)

the top most example file distorts noticably.

EDIT: in Firefox 3.0.3 & Java 6 update 7, refreshing the page closes the brwser unexpectedly (the crash handler pops up when reopening Firefox)

Hi franpa,

the top most example file distorts noticably.

This happens with other files? This distortion remains when you wait the song to finish and play the buffered version?

The real-time rendering can present a lot of distortion and noises, that disappears when you play the buffered version. (Which is, indeed, the emulator real output.)

You can't stop the current song, so you can not change tracks while a song is playing. (in your demonstration on your site).

About stopping a song, I intended the replayer to be only a bare one, since my focus is on the emulator.

About the refresh, although it is also a replayer issue, I will test it in Firefox, and hopefully makes it work under it. The replayer is intended just to this basic operation: playing a song until it is finished, without changing songs or refreshing it.
The only additional features that the replayer has, is the above mentioned "Play again", to remove noise due to computer speed, and the "Save as...", that saves a WAV rendering to your computer.

Let me hear from you if there are any other issues,

ps: If you want also to play some files from your computer, you can open your own DOSBox captured .DRO files, beyong the CMF and LAA ones.
