ZSNES board

Let me express, once more, my deep honor, to all guys who worked on the ZSNES sound engine. Donkey Kong sounds like never before. :D 2.0 will probably employ a hardware accurate mixer, so different resampling options are straight out. So is the sample rate setting, since a hardware accurate mixer al...

You know you can connect a real SNES to a sound system too, right? Yes I know this. Unfortunately, I don't have a SNES console anymore. I also have no surround receiver. Only ZSNES with a simulate surround sound switch I like and an Audigy 2 . If you like, I can port that surround filter to a DSP f...

It's really impressive, when you first here the SNES sound via console through TV's speakers and then via ZSNES through a 5.1 sound system. Thanks again to the ZSNES guys for that incredible new sound experience! :D If you could tickle out a crystal clear sound of the instruments, this would be exce...

As long as zsnes.com is up, ZSNES can't be dead.

It wouldn't have been a bad thing if you were on the ZSNES ABOUT list. Well, maybe for v2.0 then. :mrgreen: I would state: SNES sounded damn good. ZSNES sounds better. (At least as for "Simulate Surround Sound" with "Cubic Spline") http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emotico...

Thanks a lot for that. It definitely sounds better with it. Hmm.., as I see, you are not on the ZSNES ABOUT list. I only see PHARAOS, TEUF, GRINVADER... No kode54. Has somebody forgotten to put you on the list? :) Rather, it calculates the average of the left and right channels, subtracts... Whateve...

If "Simulate Surround Sound" is "inverting the left channel", then one has had a good idea. I like it. Everything sounds more atmospheric. Who made this "Simulate Surround Sound"? Pharaos? grinvader? I also tried Snes9X, but the sound of ZSNES sounds better to my ears. ...

I really have to say, I like the "Simulate Surround Sound" switch. It adds more atmosphere. Good work! However, I miss the attention to detail like the one from SNESamp with settings "High quality" and "Sample Rate: 48000". I loaded some *.spc samples from Donkey Kong C...

Sounds like a sound channel extension and a difficult task.

The used channel doesn't get its 'normal' output back until the next key on event in the partition Yeah, this makes sense, because when I move further and thus a new sound effect appears, the normal output is back. Is it possible to eliminate this so that at any time all sound effects are present, ...

Unfortunately, my PC is not strong enough for bsnes. :| Therefore I deal with ZSNES. I have an issue with multiple sounds of the music in Donkey Kong Country 3 and I don't know if it's ZSNES or sound card related: Sometimes one sound disappears and I don't hear it anymore. This happens for example w...

This may be, but Cubic Spline sounds better, clearer. I would set Cubic Spline to default.
For ZSNES 2.0 I would expect Cublic Spline 2.0 at best.

Gaussian interpolation will make it sound more like the original (as much as it can with the current core, at least). Which is... good ? You tell me. OK. Test game: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (has no native surround sound (only stereo)): Interpolation: None > sounds kinda d...

Yeah, thanks!

Let's see.., what do we have here...



This is my sound config (5.1 sound system). Sounds pretty good, but could it sound better?

Yeeeeehaaa! I will wait for v2.0 then. I expect mind-blowing sound. Thx for the good sound engine anyway. ZSNES rules. With, or without the S, but it's ZSNES.

What about improving the ZSNES sound engine. Is there a way to get more details out of the sound? I mean the sound is already good, but maybe you could make the sound better for the ultimate Donkey Kong feeling.
