And on the sixth day... he created sound

This is cool when playing games full screen. For 3D, your position in the room as well as the type of TV screen should determine how the game sounds. The treble would fade out faster than the bass the farther you are from the screen. Big TVs would have a full range of sound while handhelds would lack bass.

Yeah you are right dench. All that will be possible if/when I do my own 3D sound engine. It's relatively easy to do your own provided you don't need "up/down" based 3D sound. One thing I'd like to look at too is surround sound at some point.

Sounds great!

I already know what this change

Sonic & Knuckles:

Bass Boost - improved some music bass
Mid Boost - change average volume of music
High Boost - if decrease to -20 i finally got correct volume of Rings

And PSG volume control will be in ini file?

Will you be releasing different skins for the main interface ? For example, you could have a 'Retro' themed interface where the sliders look like the equalizers on very old Hi-Fi systems.

@sasha yes you can control the amount of "pre amplication" the FM or PSG chip gets from the config.xml file. After listening to a few games I realized the old amplication values were way off, especially for games like Street Fighter and Bubsy. I think what it is now is close, but it is configurable anyhow.

@liveevil in theory it's possible but I'm not sure what the demand for it would be. Maybe when the core features all settle down and the interface isn't changing all the time it might be more viable. You can already change some aspects by altering the theme.xml file.

Could this be an F2 (F-others ;)) where you can change the sound in-game..
Not the sample-rate off course which i think needs to have a restart.

Don't know if this already has been implemented or asked about.

Closing the game for sound specific changes is not logical..

And again great work

With automatic save states it's less of an issue as it resumes right where you were anyhow (if you pause it, quit game, change options then resume). I'd like to able to have it setup in game too one day.

Don't need to hurry about this feature, it came just in my mind and thought it would be smart to ask..

Sound is not so important to me as stereo or mono was all then..
Fat TV's sounded all differently..

It must off course not strangle the performance/accuracy of this emu..

Yes - Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter and Road Rash 3 have very high level of PSG, and they can work perfectly with PSG 1.00, due to always no changeable volume of PSG we can't adjust right volume, for example we use default value 1.00 for Street Fighter and automatically broke Sonic & Knuckles, real console always try to take average level, if even game try to sounds extremelly loud like a Street Fighter and Road Rash 3

I found compromise: 1.40 ~ 1.45 most safe value for all games, some games slightly silent, another few games (Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Ballz 3D, Road Rash 3) a bit louder, all another 496 games completely very good...

Hmm do you know how the hardware mixes it? Maybe it's only some frequencies which are amplified (noise channel). RetroCopy already amplifies noise channel more than the rest due to how the chip worked on real system, so in theory it should be relatively close even at 1.0 . Different emulators mix things differently, so 1.5 in Regen/Kega isn't the same in RetroCopy for instance.

You sound more of an expert on the issue than me anyhow Sasha, so I'll await your verdict when it's released.

I'll be wait new release

Yeah i perfectly remember Sonic & Knuckles, when white screen changes to picture and Sonic fall, PSG music Zoom and fade after few seconds, after fade, sounds very soft rainbow PSG melody, and close to the end PSG melody fade.

On Kega Fusion with PSG 1.0, i can't hear all these PSG aspects
