            so that I can put progress news on Archaic Ruins?

<Landy> hmmm.. i currecntly work at sound problem.. thats all ;-)

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: You are at the point that you are adding sound!?

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Do you have games like "Contra" and "Castlevania" playable

            on LandyNES?

<Landy> i work on it because it's hardest part for me.. ;-)

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, is it emulating the sound, or getting sound to work

            that is hard?

<[BaTNiG]> is there a new nes emulater?

<[BaTNiG]> landynes???

<[BaTNiG]> wierd name but

<[BaTNiG]> ehhe

<Typhoon_Z> BaT: LandyNES isn't the official name =)

<Landy> hmm... i runed SuperCOntra only once... and it's screwed ...

        mapper #4 very wierd...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, that sounds like its running some things though!

            Does "Zelda" play?

<Typhoon_Z> BaT: Landy has been making an NES emulator before interNES was

            even begun =)

<Landy> as i told i do DigitalSOund.. i hate FM and other punks ;-)

<[BaTNiG]> hm,mm landy gimmie a copy!!1

<[BaTNiG]> hehe

<Typhoon_Z> BaT: Its not out =)

<[BaTNiG]> hehe typhoon

<[BaTNiG]> been away from console scene to long ehhe

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: But is it the emulator, or just getting sound to work?  I

            mean, you DO know how to do FM sound right?

<Landy> hmm... sources what marat gets from me have header: iNES private NES

        emulator... ;-)

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Marat gave you his source?  =)

<Teego> Landys code was the foundation for iNES, right?

<Typhoon_Z> Teego: Landy's CPU engine, yes

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Do you think you might have FM Sound done by Wednesday?  I

            want a GOOD Christmas present =)

<Landy> sure i have sources of iNES... but who need code what slow like hell?

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: h0h0h0!  I love hearing you make fun of interNES =)... the

            source will at least tell you how to do FM Sound...

<Landy> i don't have dox about sound... some guys not share it with me... but

        i now prepare proggie for NES what helps record some tunes...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: You still haven't answered whether you "Can't emulate

            sound" or "Can't get FM Sound working"

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, I have source in C to play FM sound that I got from

            the Sound Blaster page, but I'm sure that you have source to do

            FM sound (VGB had it etc.)

<Landy> i not finish routine what prepare WAV(44Khz) file from

        SoundTrackFile...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Is it really worth using WAVS? Won't that slow things down!?

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Shouldn't the interNES source show how Marat does sound?

<Landy> tz: try calculate... real NES have 22Khz...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, NES doesn't use WAVs though! =)

<Toughius> Landy-- you should just send it out as midi to port 330 or fm

           sound to port 220 (etc.)

<Landy> for compability i must use 8bit mode/mono

<Toughius> Don't do digital sounds for music!!!

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Why don't you ask Marat?  He's on IRC right now.

<Landy> 60 fps=60interrupt per sec...

<Toughius> Why??

<Landy> 22Kbyte/60= less than 400 bytes.. 

<Landy> not very much... if my emu draw full frame

<Landy> each 1/60 sec

<Landy> then i must calculate just 400 bytes...

<Landy> heh...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Why don't you ask Marat about getting sound working

            correctly?  He's on IRC right now...

<Landy> tz: DMA player allow play NES sound ;-)

<Landy> tz: his sound not works correctly...

<Landy> he not have full sound info...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Oh.. so your sound WILL be correct, and his won't?

<Landy> i really hear Sound from Zanac at MSX...

<Landy> at NES it sounds very bad...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Do you think you might be able to squeeze out a X-Mas

            release by Wednesday?

<Landy> of course not :-)

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: =(.. thats bad.  What are you going to get us for X-mas

            then?

<Toughius> Is Landy using assembly?

<Typhoon_Z> Tough: Yes.

<Landy> Toug: yep...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, interNES for Windows is VERY scary in my opinion.  I

            can't bear it.

<Conjurer> tz: Well, the linux version aitn much better :P

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: I liked the dumb release you got out that was REALLY slow

            and played Super Mario Bros=)

<Landy> tz: hmmm... btw.. ChristMas in Russia at 7Jan ;-)

<Toughius> The digital sounds can done even more easily since they are white

           noise.

<Landy> tz: don't forget ;-)

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Hehehehehehe...

<Typhoon_Z> Landy: Well, that gives you 15 days =)
