UF creates a new useless project by unknownfile at 1:33 PM EDT on October 9, 2008
Hi guys. I am starting another project, which is probably never going to be finished unless I start attention-whoring, so now would be the best time to do so.
I present to you:
[bold]SUPER MEGA SOUND EMULATOR 2000[/bold]
After leeching ruthlessly off MAME for code, I think I will try and do something for the project. No, this isn't a stupid M1 clone - what I am attempting to do is have it support ripped music and original ROMs of games that don't fall under the patched crap that hoot uses.
SUPER MEGA SOUND EMULATOR 2000 currently has a NSF driver which is a piece of crap and a half, and since I haven't even tested it, I know it's bad. It will expand to include other ripped formats as I learn to code with this messy code.
So, essentially, it's M1/hoot with a File Open option. Nothing interesting.
Sounds interesting for sure, now I know what "sms2k" meant. Would it use xml formats to include addresses etc? Does your goal include the computer formats that Hoot does, or is it more focused on Arcade tunes (since you mentioned MAME)?
As a first request, how about silence detection for all formats?
Goal is to have a mix between the two. hoot can actually play certain file formats but you need to zip them up and move things around before you can actually play them.
Currently, what I have in mind is that the thing will incorporate elements from MAME in the driver department (sound hardware only), but will carry some features from hoot.
Now I must continue to struggle with this goddamn sourcecode.
