nitrofurano Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 probably most of you know that .vgm format supports Pokey sound chip (now easily made from Furnace Tracker, for example) - and also, some game consoles has vgm player rom files available, like https://www.smspower.org/maxim/SMSSoftware/VGMPlayer is there anything available that can play Pokey .vgm files embedded into atari 5200/400/800/xegs/etc, rom files or image tapes in a similar way, or anyone here that would help us to code one (as software libre)? (and eventually these rom files could be generated from Furnace Tracker, who knows? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+playsoft Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 From the VGM file you could (write a program to) generate a SAP-R file. For each frame, the SAP-R holds a record of all the POKEY (audio) registers. At 50 or 60 frames per second this can be quite big, but you can compress the SAP-R with @dmsc's SAP-R compressor and player: GitHub - dmsc/lzss-sap: LZSS compressor for Atari SAP music files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
