cbmeeks Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I can't seem to find this online. Does anyone know the frequency when you start up and press a key? The duration would be helpful too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See Edit/Assm manual, page 313ff.) We need to update it with a little short tune, instead of just a beep. There is also a default HONK sound as well. For bad input. Both the BEEP and HONK you can call in assembly via GPLLNK as detailed in the editor/assembler manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HONK sound (bad input) sounds like a 220 Hz tone. As for the BEEP sound (startup), it sounds like a 1,397 Hz tone. ~Ben Edited July 7 by ColecoFan1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you go beyond the menu system, then anything will go, but before that - nice and calm - recognizable. Many of us are too old for change. 😁 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 One of the minimum requirements for emulation: do that beep right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
