P COVOX v2 Install

[mmoec]

Hello ✋

I recently re-flashed my PokeyMax to the Stereo+U1MB version in order to control the stereo/mono switch from the U1MB BIOS, but this version doesn’t include COVOX, so I installed this P COVOX v2 device I had lying around, but admittedly I can’t detect any noticeable change in the sound quality. My question would be, is there a way to check if this device is actually activated? When I run the Pokeycfg it tells my I have no COVOX, but I think this program is checking the PokeyMax itself and not the machine (I could be wrong about this). As always, any input is appreciated.

 

Thanks, and happy Friday!

Pokeymax can only detect its own covox. If you have another covox installed then it’s easiest to play a tune using it. Note that you need to set the address to D600 for p-covox and D280 for pokeymax covox:

Thanks, I actually set the address to D700 because the instructions said D600 or D700 (pins 9,10 = D6, pin 7 = D7), and the only tunes I have access to rn are themes from games (Hardball!, Dark Chambers, Alternate Reality The City, etc…) and I can’t really detect any change 🤷‍♂️.

It’s a different device, it won’t change how ‘pokey music’ sounds. Just some other software will work that uses the covox.
