hi,
i' m looking for the best solution to sonorise my game
is there a way to play bacground pcm samples in basic ?
I m trying to use the call pcmplay of the turboR but it impossible to do other things during pcm playing...
So i m looking for a way to load samples in memory and ply them using call commands in background.
As i have no skill in ASM i need you help... Wink

choose SCC mapper and msx1, it works on any know recent emulator
only do not speed up the boot or you will fool the initialisation code

there is no easy way to play pcm samples (from basic or from asm) without stopping the CPU
the sole way I know without dedicated HW is the one implementd in that rom, i.e. using the SCC and interrupts, but it is not from basic and in the end I've never released the encoding tool, as real scc, due to an HW bug, adds quite a lot of noise to the output when used in this way

bad news for me !
I have to find another way to sonorise my game !
I check see3 from fuzzy logic ; but it came with an ASM source code for the replaying.
as I have no skill in ASM, I can't use it...
Do you know a replayer that I can use ?

I don't think there exists any ready made BASIC extensions, but from hardware point of view you will practically need MoonSound or MSX-Audio for samples. Ok, it is doable on MSX2 & SCC, but that is really not an easy task.

If you are working on FS-A1GT then you might succeed without extra hardware by using MIDI-interrupts.
