I'm really psyched to read that you have sound semi-working in games like Sonic and Gunstar Heroes:eek: . The day you release that build will be an amazing day for DS emulation.

Maybe i shouldnt have said anything about it at all ;)Quote:

Emulating the Z80 on top of everything on the Arm9, and still keeping up enough speed will be not easy, if at all possible.
we hope you can get the sound added to the emu we believe in you Lordus
Only 3 days to vote for the compo. :p
The last day to vote for the compo ... :cool:
how do i get mortal kombaT 2 working
and just to check mk 3 doesnt work cause it sover 3 mb rite?
wonder when a new update comes i keep checking for a update for this =/
Last I heard, Lordus no longer has a DS, so development is on hold. Wonder if he ever got a replacement one:confused: .
oh.. meh i guess ill have to wait longer...i hope he did get a new one..
Well, i still dont have one, but development is not on hold either. Its just a bit slower, because especially the part i am working on now would need tests on real hardware sometimes.Quote:

The sound is still limited to games, that dont need the Z80, but i managed to get all 6 FM channels, PSG and DAC emulated at a reasonable quality on the Arm7.
It wont be perfect, as i had to simplify the FM core a lot to make it fast enough, but it should be ok for the most part.
I attached something for you to see the current process though. It plays a .gym file, which is just a log of register settings, a game would make to the sound chips. So theoretically it would sound the same, when its implemented into jEnesisDS...
I see, sorry to misinform :o .Quote:

lol I was wondering why you wanted that Gym player tested on IRC that day. still on my DS.
Thank you for the news Lordus, sounds promising. :)
Which country are you based in Lordus?
Excellent work btw :)
Thanks. Im German ;)Quote:

It's already FlashMe'd too.
Thanks a lot for your offer. If you would really want to do that, it would be an incredible help for me and this project. Covering the postage wouldnt be a problem and i happen to have a DS Lite ower supply at home, if that is compatible.Quote:

I've noticied lock on games such as sonic & Knuckles 2,Sonic & Knuckles 3 don't work please lordus make them work in the next release also get the sound working without the sound megadrive emulator will be no fun.
I don't think we should get pushy. I believe Lordus knows that there is no sound (sarc) and wants it to have sound as much as/ more than anyone else.
Even if he doesn't get sound working, it is a great accomplishment , He mentioned adding sound will be like having a SMS emulator running along side jenesisDS. A PSP and GP2X can run Genesis/MD games with sound. Me I'll stick with my trusty DS.
Does anyone have a compatibility list or can you tell if the splatterhouses work?
Hey Lordus, have you a date in mind to release an update for the damn best Genesis emu?
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
If everyone researches it -> it IS true that the Genesis CPU was faster, however, it is fact that the Genesis sound chip was inferior to that of the SNES. I've played several games released for both consoles and if you do sound tests yourself you'll see the Genesis sounds always sound worse. Not that they're BAD, just inferior to SNES's audio.
Thanks, but no date. As said before, i first have to get a new DS and as things look at the moment, that wont be before the end of the year.Quote:

The SNES can do no such thing. It also depends on personal preferences. Personally i like the distinct sound of FM synthesis on the Genesis more than the SNES sound. That is, if the creators knew what they were doing.
The Batman and Robin soundtrack is great for example: http://www.sigmaecho.com/batman/batman.html
But that game was technically impressive for the Genesis anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkAHV...?v=RkAHVzZ2ks8
sound and it would be awsome, man io just can't wait to play micheal jackssons moonwalker :D
When will the next release come out?
The genesis emulator without sound isn't good at all i don't play with this emulator anymore its not worth it instead i play snes emulator which has sound i'm afraid all my credits go to the person who made the snes emulator is an charm the genesis emulator is hopeless, lordus if you want to match this emulator with snes one you will have to put sound in it to be greateast emulator at the moment it isn't.
If you want sound so bad, then donate so he can continue. Otherwise, STFU and be greatful he's taken it this far.Quote:

No it's not fake. The version was from start of August though, so even older than the 0.5 release. It had just 2 FM channels @ 11KHz running and the implementation of Arm9-Arm7 communication and buffering was very buggy.Quote:

At the moment i continued working on the Java version though and put the DS version on hold, until i get a DS.
Thanks for the heads up and for giving us something to wait for.
Now i'm realy realy ashamed for have no ways of donating for you new DS.
can i get the link to the emulator they are using with sound i dont care if its buggy and glitvhy i just want it
I don't think there is genesis emulator for ds with sound, so the video on you tube has sound this is cool now this getting really exciting looks like we are going to get sound in genesis emulator after all so lordus when will you get a ds.

I know coders who would just give a huge STFU! and throw the sources open for anyone continue, and i don't remember anyone ever continuing someone's works (ok, maybe once or twice).
Dont be. In fact i feel a little ashamed, that i asked for it at all. Normally it shouldnt be a problem for me to get one, but at the moment i just cant.Quote:

We really need the emu with sound i can't wait any longer may i gonna wait for it even longer still good work bring the update soon.
Forgive me Lordus if I attempt to put words in your mouth here.Quote:

He's already given you a Genesis emulator that's faster than PicoDriveDS and plays most games at 60 fps, with various options available to increase compatibility. Be thankful for what you already have rather than complaining about one feature that's missing.
Programming isn't easy, and implementing the chips that handle audio isn't as easy as pressing the "lol maek it have teh soundzorz" button.
Rather than complaining about the lack of sound, you could donate to him to help him get actual hardware for testing. Failing that, you could simply be patient and wait for him to finish on his own time.
i gave up on you lordus im sorry im using the genesis emu on my psp that has sounds im about to sell my ds and buy me some psp games and ps3 games
