SVN Sound Core Replacement

RealmRPGer · Post by **RealmRPGer** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:20 pm

I don't mind using the old sound core for now... except for the Chrono Trigger bugs which were fixed in a new version, after the last "good" sound build. So, is the sound core just using one file? Or can I in any way separate out the old sound core and the new timing build?

Don't even suggest that. The fact is, the old sound core wasn't perfect and to keep using that is no less than stupid.

Yeah, but, I wanna play Chrono Trigger WITH sound and WITHOUT graphical bugs.

Use the last known good build or wait like everyone else.

SVN code is for a beta release, ok... but, I don't understand why the sound is not real (zsnesw.exe only create a file named zdsp.wav)...

Is this correct? Why zsnesw.exe don't playing the sound of zdsp.wav? Is only a wav file (Signed 16bit PCM / 2 Channels / 32000 Hz). In the "final" release no, of course, but now, can you create alternative method for hear sound while playing?

For now, almost times the sound of zdsp.wav is better than the sound of revision 4538, but in other times no (in Super Metroid (E) the sound have low quality...).

Bad English

I hope that you understand me

I guess it's just set to dump to a file for testing, not for playing.

that explains why there is no sound being played in the windows version.

people are that stupid, that they complain about not having sound in the topic announcing that they should shut up and not complain about no sound in the latest svn.

if exists, what part of the source code is necessary CHANGE for have a real sound? If possible, I will wish test the new improvements of each new version of SVN (for me is better hear directly the sound in game). It's all !

If no exist this change of code... no problem! I wait the final release with the new sound core

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Just wait like everyone else as said before.

i didn't want to make a new thread, b/c i'm sort of a n00b at this so i'll just ask a quick question here

if i'm playing a game, load up a save state, and all of a sudden i don't get any sound, is that type of problem that's being addressed in the next release b/c of this thread?

thx

it all depends on what version you are using my friend, if you are a noob, which you yourself claimed. Then I DOUBT you are using the SVN, in which case you wouldn't have to worry about THESE sound bugs.

well i was using 1.36, and that's when i started having the problems. so i upgraded to 1.51 and nothing happened.

i guess i'll just make a new thread, thx anyway

Also, loading a savestate from a different version of zsnes than it was created with will cause problems.

You shouldn't expect it to work, and this is not a valid bug anyways.

Yeah, but a self-proclaimed noob may not know that.

Vista uses a different audio system, and although I suspect the sound code would be "ok" with Vista (DSound in Vista uses a wrapper to the Wave output), pagefault wants the sound code be native to Vista, so it can use Vista's sound controls as well.

So hows the progress of the Vista driver? Working out well?
Just trying to restore the topic. <_<

Post by **pagefault** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 4:29 pm

I am focusing on the DirectSound driver since that is much more beneifical to people. But we are getting close to public demos now. Blargg is discovering a bunch of new things with byuu and getting feedback from us as well so things have been really moving along.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 1:00 am

so this new core will knock the socks off of the people that are used to the old core?

Deathlike2 · Post by **Deathlike2** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 1:11 am

Probably at, or better than SNEeSe. Although, I like TRAC too just as I like blargg.

It's not a contest.

no, but it is kinda the bar that's been set until recently.

Naelphin · Post by **Naelphin** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 1:00 am

How is it is speed wise versus the old version? I assume the reason for the inaccuracies was to speed the whole thing up.
