Yeah yeah yeah. But do a search for OPL3 and YM3812. And then do a search for OPL3 and YMF262...

It's just that proper OPL3 emulation would allow Vlad to "wrap up" his audio emulator as it would then (pretty much) cover all the audio bases and he could then start working on his "Perfect, Universal PC Emulator".

OPL3 and MT-32, you mean. 😀

Ah, yes, of course. But OPL3 is apparently supposed to come from Jarek, so Vlad can only wait.

Whereas MT32 is actually being worked on by Vlad, so we know that it's "coming soon", right? *raises eyebrows*

Perhaps I should paste the last conversation I had with Vlad. I shall paraphrase it for everyone in the meantime:

Vlad: [incoherent dribble]
Me: What the hell are you saying?
Vlad: Trying to confuse you with incoherent dribble.
Me: Work on VDMSound.
Vlad: [incoherent dribble]
Me: STOP IT!
Vlad: How am I supposed to have a DEMANDING JOB *and* work on VDMSound *and* annoy you?
Me: Work on VDMSound now instead of talking to me.
Vlad: No, I need week-long chunks to work on VDMSound.

Needless to say I doubt MT-32 emulation has gotten any further.

Says Jarek:

First of all, I needed a break from soldering iron
(didn't quite succeed because in the meantime I did
ym2413 and ym2608, as you probably know).

Anyway, I've started to build another PCB last
weekend. I received an OPL3 on DIP socket from Olivier Galibert so I'm all set. Just need more free time.

😀

So please be patient, he hasn't forgotten.

w00t. 😀

This useless post brought to you by the w00t department. Bring w00ty w00tiness since the big w00000t.

Jarek has added that he's started work on the OPL3, it may take one-to-two months to emulate.

A lot to do just for the 2 arcade games that require its emulation in MAME (Tecmo System, kthnx).

But if it goes past deadline, don't flame him. You'll have to come through me first. So settle, Snover. 😉

Keep in mind that this is only the synth/audio chip on the SB16 (and Adlib Gold and PAS16). Vlad (or someone) will have to emulate the rest. I vote for Harekiet if Vlad's too busy (bleah).

I hope that the true audioheads lurking here will be able to point out bugs in the OPL3 emulation once it's hooked up to VDMSound and/or DOSBOX, just like we did with the OPL2 (YM3812) emulation.

Okay, I'll wait two days before I start flaming instead of one. 😜

I don't think DOSBox is using Jarek's OPL2 emulation. I would like to see VDMSound's engine being used for DOSBox, still, yes, I do, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Qbix, Harekiet?

Another game that work fine with adlib emulation 2.0.4 was Koei Uncharted Waters 2, with the update 1 some percussion instrument sound like major hiss. Just check the intro.

Did you try installing the updated OPL dll that vlad posted somewhere on the forum? (*gack* sorry I don't have the link) It fixes a bug in the 2.0.4+update1 OPL emulation.

vlad makes things hard to find. that's just vlad for you.

found the update OPL DLL , now sound great.

thanks

*sigh*
VLAD. YOU MUST UPDATE. UPDATE OR I SHALL HAX0R J00R SITAZ0R. Or just move VDMSound here. Whichever's easier for me. 😜

Let's just declare Vlad dead and make a shrine page with all his stuff on it. Anarchy rules.

Talk about your back-handed compliments... *heh*

I actually came up with an "All-in-one" ZIP with instructions, but I can't upload it to the board as it can't accept the upload before timing out on me.

Good point Nicht - I guess anarchy is the problem right now...

Nicht - stop trying to upload it, you're hurting Mr. Server.
...hmm...
... I just realized I never named this server! Ah, the horror!

Does this mean that today will forever be Mr. Server's brithday?
Should we get out the hats, balloons, and party favours?
