PlayCity support in SymAmp (SymbOS)

[RockRiver]

I have a semi-functional midi converter/player using the PlayCity and work in progress version of an extended AYC player for supporting extra channels

Yesssssss!!!!! MIDI & AYC on CPC.  My sweet & wet chiptune dreams.    Now 6 channel AYC


And what about 6 channel *.YM ? Emulators need to change YM rippers/recorders ?
It is needed a modification of the YM standard from Leonard? leonard.oxg.free.fr/ymformat.html


If all go straight, maybe 6 channel YMcruncher (from Fkey) would help too.

Hey RockRiver Still didn't have a look at the YM cruncher TBH... What's the typical size of such a module (I am afraid, that I asked this before some years ago  )

Where do I sign the petition for Richard to integrate PlayCity into WinApe and make it the defacto new Sound Hardware that the CPC has waited 20 years for???

I have trouble mixing 3 channels into DirectX stereo (plus tape/disc sounds), not sure how 6 could be managed. I'll have to look into synchronising multiple DirectSound buffers. You never know, I might be able to get the PC hardware and DX API to do all the mixing for me and improve tape/disc sounds overlays also.

Good luck Richard....

@Executioner: Did you not add support for Digiblaster in one of your betas? I think Markus told me that.

Yes, it will be in the next release. So there's yet another channel I'm mixing in myself. Must figure out how to get DirectX to do it.

It's very nice to see activity here again!

It has been released the last version of the MESS emulator (0.156) and this one includes the PlayCity emulation by @mahlemiut.
