ChipnSfx - Player routine

[beb]

Ola,


Did someone find the way to compile the source code of the ChipnSfx player ?
(tried with Winape / Rasm / Sjasm... As80 didn't work with win7 x64 ? I got plenty errors...)


It's possible to have a working version of source code running on CPC ? ( under Dams / Orgams or Maxam ?)


Thanks.

Maybe Pasmo / Vasm?

Krusty has already tried with pasmo, without any success.
I hope to see a easy working player for this tracker.  (maybe like yours or the BSC-Soundtrakker)

Here is a RASM compliant version of the player


As there where macros, parenthesis formulas and conditionnal code, it's a Rasm version only


You will have to set CHIPNSFX_FLAGS, CHIPNSFX and CHIPNSFX_BSS variables to the correct values (i have no doc about that player...) and make a correct WritePSG function instead of a single RET


The source has the correct announced size of 776 bytes + 1 byte for my WritePSG ret


Hope it will help

Nice !!!
Since it's the mood, does anyone want to optimize the size?

Did you contact CngSoft to know what assembler he uses? I'm curious.

AS80 http://www.kingswood-consulting.co.uk/assemblers/


A bit hard to reach Cngsoft   (it seem someone is happy about that )

Hicks told me there is many errors in the CNG source because AS80 still has bugs

Code Select Expand



AS80 Assembler for i8080 [1.42].                                     Page    1
----------------------------- ..\rasm\dbtest.asm -----------------------------


9 lines read, no errors in pass 1.
                         code
0000 =                   org 0
0000 : 00                nop
0001 : 010101            db $,$,$
0004 : 04                db $
0005 : 05                db $
0006 : 06                db $
0007 : 00                nop
                         end


No errors in pass 2.
Wrote binary from address $0000 through $0007.
Total size 8 bytes.[size=78%]


When AS80 assemble db using $, the reference is the db, not the byte outputed...
So a single db with multiple values does not assemble like multiple db
It seems there is also rounding bugs in frequencies calculations


Below the Hicks version fixed for Rasm[/size]

Thank you Edouard ...

We spent a lot of time on this player and tunes generator, last night.
