the sound is a bit crappy, you're right :( ...
*Ancient bump*
Yay! Okay, after a lot of random trial and error, I've found a simple but unreliable way of getting the emulator into a state where the sound doesn't crackle or clip during certain noises. If I find an easier, less random way of doing this, I'll make sure to post a followup :)
***
- Grab http://www.madcowdisease.org/~jlsoft/junk/nemesis.zip
- Unpack, and place the NEMESIS.BIN into your \pspatari\roms\ directory
- Start up PSPAtari, Load ROM, select NEMESIS.BIN
- Go to Keyboard in the main menu, and bind a key to 'CSTART'...I suggest RTrigger (just hit left once)
- Hit Select to go back to the main menu, and then Select again to go Back to ATARI
1 - The demo will play...press the key you bound to CSTART...there's a voice sample that stutters the word 'Nemesis' several times, followed by a 'ping' sound when a sparkle appears in the snake's eye (stay with me here :P)
2 - What you need to do is press *Select* (on the PSP) to go back to the emulator menu right *BEFORE* that ping happens and the sparkle is drawn, during the last 'sssss' part of the last time 'Nemesis' is said.
3 - Select Atari800 menu, go down to Sound Settings, hit () to enter that menu, and use () to toggle the 'High Fidelity POKEY' setting (it doesn't matter which value it is on). Press () again and the emulator will reboot the Atari.
4 - Hit Select, Load ROM, pick NEMESIS.BIN again, and run it.
5 - If the sound is still clipping (sometimes even worse), just repeat the process from step 1 above until you've timed it right...you need to pause the emulator right between the ending of 'Nemesis' being said, and the 'ping' sound, and then toggle High Fidelity POKEY & reset the emulation.
6 - If you were lucky and the timing was right, there shouldn't be any sound crackling/buzzing/clipping (or very very little during some loud or high-pitched sounds), and PSPAtari will sound great, unlike before :)
* - Go ahead and load any other game/demo/etc, and it should sound perfect :P
- Have fun!
[ Thank you zx-81, this is one of the main reasons I wanted the system :) ]
thanks for the hint ! :)
help please, i'm on 3.40 OE-A, and
ATARI800 psp randomly freezes in rom list or 100% when i try to run any game. it freezes about a half minute then just turn console off!
-no special skins/plugins
-ATARI800 in game150 install correctly
-roms *.bin and *.A52 from "good set"
-2 gb magicGate memstick pro duo and n/p with other games and emu's
you can try to split your roms in several subfolders ...
but i will release a new version very soon, may be the bug won't appear anymore.
you can also try the version of uberjack (atari 800), graphics are much better than mine, and it's may be faster.
today i tried Uberjack's version again - its not much better and i don't like how its made. so, i'm waiting new Zx-81's version.
and , Zx-81, answer one question,please - is it possible for you to make one emulator for 2600, 5200, 7200 with autodetect rom image? it would be megahit!
I will release it very soon :).
It's a bit hard to do, the best would be to have a kind of file that gives directly the good settings for all roms (given a signature of a rom, it provides the good atari model and cartridge types etc ...)
