Does Nuked OPL3 emu have a rockbox port? Would it be faster than dosbox or MAME OPL on portable audio players?

No, it doesn't. And my emulator slower than DOSBox and MAME, i haven't done any big optimizations in code, because my goal is accuracy to real YMF262.

I tried to use your emulator in libADLMIDI instead of pre-used DosBox's and I played some MIDI files with DOOM banks, and I hear a some different sound of Hi-Hats in comparison with my real Sound Blaster 16 which I have at me, even I tried to play with no resampling with 49716 hz sample rate. Anyway, real SB has louder bass (in comparison to both DosBox's and your). But I think, I'll try to power on my machine with SB-16 and I'll try to record something to compare

I think, yea, even in ZDoom hi-hats are sounding fine and seems need a small calibration of that thing. I will add it to be macro-switchable (I using libADLMIDI also on Android phones where optimization is very recommended to don't eat CPU and battery, I built a little player for myself to listen MIDIs without pre-rendering them into OGGs with ability to toggle banks and chip properties which I very like to do, even I editing MIDI-files and changing their instruments and producing some remakes or arranges to listen them more convenient or just improve quality of partiture itself, because previous composer was too lazy to write a good orchestra partiture with all necessary expressions)

EDIT: Thanks for the reply at GitHub (https://github.com/Wohlstand/libADLMIDI/issues/2, a fourth reply), reason was a wrong bend coefficient, so, hi-hats are sounding perfect! 😎

Just tried this via DOSBox ECE SVN r4007, and it doesn't fare any better at Wizardry 7's perverted use of the OPL2 as a DAC. Is this a DOSBox mixer limitation or an OPL emulation limitation?

It's been a while since I last checked, but most likely cause is that the OPL chip emulation code is told to render several samples per call, so it's not the fault of the chip emulation itself.
Emulating PCM output would require to have the register writes to affect each output sample immediately.

Related to this, I've heard some weird sound issues on at least one Sierra game, like a sound playing for a brief moment at incorrect volume/octave/pitch or something, which only means a block of emulated sound is generated while game is in the middle of updating the chip registers. Fortunately, this is not an issue on most of the OPL stuff.

DOSBox-X has the sampleaccurate option, which permits emulation of samples-via-OPL.

One of my more quixotic plans is to rewrite DOSBox' mixer using the blip_buffer library, which allows for a clean way to handle such cases, supports equalization, filters and reverb, and allows for very exact yet simple emulation of advanced PC speaker techniques. The filter support would permit emulating the SBPro's selectable filter, and equalization and reverb would provide a simple way to implement support for the Adlib Gold's surround board.

Last I checked, DOSBox-X is broken such that D-Fend Reloaded won't work with it, so I haven't messed with it.

Would love to see Adlib Gold emulation. Dune was supposedly made with it in mind.

Just a little question, can you see in my OPL2 emulator what's going wrong with the drum instruments? Somehow(drumkit based on OPL3EMU's fmopl.c) it doesn't sound completely right, even though the normal melodic channels work 100%:
https://bitbucket.org/superfury/unipcemu/src/ … lib.c?at=master

The adlibsample function and subfunctions generate all OPL2 samples. The first part when adlibpercussion is set are the failing percussion instruments. The part immediately after(the if clause and contents) is the working melodic channel processing.

Anyone?

According to Wikipedia, the YMF262 was released in 1988,. This means that a 100% perfect OPL3 emulator was released on the YMF262's 30th anniversary. Interesting.

Actuially YMF262 was developed in 1990 and first released in 1991(on Sound Blaster Pro 2).

Here is my WAV file writer for OPL3 emulation, as well as a VGM logger and code for writing to hardware OPL3 using inpout32.dll.
Edit: Added code for a silence generator.
Edit 2: Added code for audio processing. This is useful for basic DAC emulation and channel manipulation.

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 instance been verified with a logic analyzer?

I was surprised to learn about many of the things on the chip. I also was always told the OPL3 had a 1-sample delay in the feedback compared to the OPL2.

Nuked OPL3 emulator

Are there any VGM players for Windows that feature the Nuked OPL3 emulator (and possibly the other audio chips from nukeykt?)

I think some of the DosBox forks include Nuked OPL3 but is there a "best" version/fork of DosBox?

Can anyone see what's going wrong with my OPL2 percussion emulation? I've been trying to find out what's going wrong with it, but it just doesn't produce the correct samples for those (it does produce correct samples for the melodic channels).

Brand new NukeYKT's low-level Yamaha FM-chips emulators:
NUKED ultra low-level Yamaha FM-chips emulators

Note:

YM3812-LLE: a new core written by the author of the Nuked cores. it features extremely accurate emulation.
this core uses a lot of CPU time. may not be suitable for playback!

YMF262-LLE: a new core written by the author of the Nuked cores. it features extremely accurate emulation.
this core uses even more CPU than YM3812-LLE. not suitable for playback or even rendering if you're impatient!
