cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<andlabs> oh yeah
<andlabs> I now have in my possession one of the FS-CA1 MSX-AUDIO modules
<andlabs> it's... rather large, size-wise
<tunixman> man memory decoding is a lot different now than it was back in the day https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN3533.pdf
<tunixman> Nobody: ... IBM: I know what we need. A fully programmable bit banger with a weird register language. Nobody: Hell yeah let's use that
<tunixman> The rest is a few years of my life off and on.
<qu1j0t3> come on you love it
<tunixman> I love the idea of it...
<tunixman> Now I'd just write an LLVM backend for it.
<tunixman> But back then, well... I was a lot less focused too.
<qu1j0t3> very much doubt llvm could target something so specialised tbh
<tunixman> I think I'd just add it as a specialized instruction set to the PPC backend really...
<qu1j0t3> ah
<tunixman> pseudo-ops that it would emit, sort of like io instructions on other units, give them intrinsics, and then spend a few years debugging.
<tunixman> the real plan would be to wait for obsolescence so I don't have to finish it.
<andlabs> nxp needs to justify their exeistence
<andlabs> somehow
