I'll add it to the NEWS file, thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll put it in the "General" section.

Great. Thank you very much.

Regarding my CMS/GameBlaster audio fix ( link ), it is tested with both SCI and SCUMM engines (Jones in the Fast Lane, Monkey Island), and both engines have now the correct pitch. So it is better than DosBox now. I know the fix is not a big one, but should it be mentioned in the NEWS file? If so, wh...

Yeah, it seems like the french is actually the hint. But it's not only a french hint. Those words have latin origin so they are similar also in many other languages. Even in en-us language dogs could be called canines (police have K9 units, wolves are canis lupus) and students might sleep in dorms ...

I could not find info why loom and indy3 need to be tested with Adlib music, but I see changes in Scumm engine regarding this, so it is not a chip emulation change. Can anyone point me info what has changed, or what improvements/bugs should one be looking for when testing? EDIT: Nevermind, I found s...

I've found the PC Speaker, the Amiga, the Special Edition, and the Roland MT-32 version, but no SB16 version !? :? The music only uses FM synthesis portion of a sound card. The SB16 has either native OPL3 chip (YMF262) or similar (identical?) synthesis part is integrated into the chipset. Originall...

I don't think any of the games we support uses the volume envelope of the SAA1099 chips. Sound effects in SCUMM games might use noise and tone on the same channel. The version of the SCI CMS driver we support does not use noise at all IIRC. It should be only use pretty basic things, so it is probab...

I recently got a Sound Blaster with the Philips SAA1099 chips, and after writing some code for them, reading the datasheets and ScummVM CMS emulator source code, I noticed the emulation of some aspects might be implemented in a way that does not match the actual hardware. So can anyone point me whic...

Flight of the Amazon Queen, Simon the Sorcerer.

If I had to include a game not runable in ScummVM, I'd say Les Manley: Lost in L.A.

I think I already mentioned Adplug mid.cpp, starting from line 984, the instruments are loaded from the file.

Thanks a lot for guiding me through the data jungle :) In adplayer.cpp I only see the following register adresses: Player::setupChannel 0xC0 Player::setupOperator 0x20 0x40 0x60 0x80 0xE0 Where are the others you listed? An OPL channel consists of two operators. Player::setupChannel loads the 0xC0 ...

OK, I can explain a bit more. The following register values mean only first OPL channel, but you get the idea. SBI file format: First header information, 4+32+16 bytes. Istrument data, 11 bytes: data for register 0x20 data for register 0x23 data for register 0x40 data for register 0x43 data for regi...

You can see yourself the original .laa file instrument byteorder from LordHoto's setupChannel and setupOperator functions in adplayer.cpp line 219 onwards. It tells you in which order the 11 instrument bytes get written into certain OPL chip register addresses. Then taking a look at .sbi file format...

I f I understand it right I have to look at the Scummvm OPL Emulator sourcecode (Mame/Dosbox) where the FM Parameters are processed? No, an OPL emulator is responsible generating sound with those parameters when they are written to it, just like a real OPL chip. You would have to take a look at som...

The possibility with SBTimbre sounds interesting. Jepael you wrote there are .laa files that contains the music and instrument data from Monkey Island 1 and these Files can imported in SBTimbre. As I understand it right. No, they cannot be directly imported. The .laa files are extracted adlib audio...

Of course, the AdLib output is now easier to capture; you have get the generated digital PCM data directly at the emulator, instead of having to read the analog output of a real AdLib card back into your soundcard's input. I read the digital audio bus on OPL2 and OPL3 chips with USB logic analyzer ...
