OK, just wondering... do you guys want these features on the 83+?
I'd love to convert it to this format. That way, sprites and MIDI
would almost certainly be possible. The MIDI Player I'm
envisioning has an interrupt driver that plays in "2 bit" sound mode-
in other words, it plays piezo (sic) sounds as if that was the plug
for the sound. I could do this by using the APD buffer (after all, we
don't need it while music is playing, do we?) and finally, MIDIs
aren't that big anyway. Not when they're shrunk down to 4
channels, that is...
Shigeru Miyamoto, Post Rapture, and Yachiyo Underwood are three people who will be remembered forever.
