What's this then?

[siggi]

OK, that's what I needed to hear

Yerz - please give this a try. I'll verify the zxpand-turbo mode if you (or Sascha?) would try the MrX route. Thanks!

Hi Charlie,
I would like to adapt the program to use 2 MrX boards and no Zxpand (to load files using MEFISDOS or ZeddyNet).
Line 10 looks quite strange. Is is special Zxpand code ("LLIST M=H"), which I could ignore, when not using Zxpand?

It means configure m=h and enables ram from 16k to 48k. Your zeddy will most probably have ram there so you can delete the lIne.

Line 10 contains also machine code (not only the LLIST command):

Could I also delete line 30, which (probably) calls the m/c in line 10?

is it possible to use 2 Mr X. boards (no Zxpand), one "normal" and one with the new gals? If yes then I would like to program a gal by myself.
Siggi

Yupp, it must work too.

@Yerzmyey...
Erm... what the tsplayer for ZX81 expects a Hobeta image file ( renamed with the .TS extension) the way i did it was thus :-
1) create your turbo sound master piece ( or load one ) with vortex II tracker
2) select EXPORTS from the File menu
3) select Save With ZX Spectrum player
4) set address to 61A8(hex) 25000(dec)
5) select Hobeta without player
6) click OK
7) type a filename
8) click Save
9) rename the resulting file from .$m to .TS (zx81 doesn't like the $)
So erm if you can load it into Vortex somehow you can play it on ZX81
Regards Andy

Ahaaaaaaa. So probably there are no chances to play this http://zx81.republika.pl/ziuta_z_lancuta.zip
So it's a player that plays especially prepared files?
It's not enough to take any TurboSound file from ZX and just rename it into *.TS?
I see.

Thx for da info 'though and some work awaits me then, to find in my collection (HUUUUUUGE) all separated TS files, compile them and prepare for ZX81.
Hahahah.
Cheerzzzzzz!

[yerzmyey]

OK, I converted about 15 more TurboSound songs from ZX Spectrum, by various authors, into ZX81 -
enjoy:

Looks like those files ( the .$S ones ) are packed with Hrust packer, there is some depackers floating around, i'll have a look when i get chance but it won't be this weekend.

Regards Andy

[yerzmyey]

No problem at all dude.

Meanwhile - http://zx81.republika.pl/karbofos-ts_album.zip

TS album composed by Karbofos. 13 more songs for 2 AYs.

@siggi -

The line 10 REM and the call to it on line 20 lower RAMTOP to 25000 and should be left alone.

CONFIG 'M=H' makes the memory map RAM 16-48K. This should be removed on non-zxpand systems as it will read as LLIST "m=h" which of course will not run

I see that I have a little bug - the machine code is injected into the P file after it is compiled from text using ZXTEXT2P. I think the REM wasn't long enough :¬.

Here is version 1.2, with that error corrected.

It should ply happily on 2 mrx boards, as long as the second has the updated GAL code.

Hello everybody,

@ yerzmyey

Congratulations! Fantastic sound! Really fucking impressive!

I think concerning the combination of MrX ZXpand AY there is no further help needed from my side?


@Paul (and others)

Please send me a PN with your private adress and I will send you a new GAL.

@all
I am using two PC soundspeakers instead of a mixer. Works well and is quadrophonic like.
Those 4 speakers around my desk are giving a kind of 3d feeling ....

If anybody wants to burn his own MrX Turbosound gal I can offer the jed file or the galasm source.

Regards
Sascha

Okay. <<<Please wait>>> while mind and brain attempt to restart....
I have lost the plot . Blink and we jump from one amazing "AY" to a double "AY"!!!!
So I take it that the hardware requirements are two "AY" sound generators (ZXpand+"AY") + (MrX with new GAL) or (ZXpand+double "AY") or (two MrX one with the new GAL)...
Also are the three channels from each "AY" being separated (to make a total of 6 channels) and going to a mixer, or are all output channels being connected together to create a mono channel, or are the two "AY"'s feeding as a 3 + 3 stereo output?

I must add that many thanks to everyone who has contributed to both the hardware, the firmware, the software and the music composition
