I made the effort of going through my code and commenting everything to allow for a basic understanding. This is in VB2008, and not VB6, btw.

Enjoy.

Edit: Oops, I forgot to make a small change when I commented things. When you open the project, you'll notice "Form1.vb" is invalid. You'll need to go into Project>Add Existing Item, and choose "Form2.vb" (which was the new commented form I had made).

Yeah sure -never optimized it for memory either. I only knew that it worked on my computer.

The wav format is really simple.

The first four characters of the file are "RIFF.". The next 4 bytes are the length of the rest of the file.

After that comes "WAVE" (at 08). This identifies the file as a wav file.

Following that are two groups of information. The first group, right after "WAVE", is called "fmt " (with a space after the t). The four bytes after give the length of the "fmt " section. This section basically gives information on the wave file: Does it use compression, how many kHz, 8-bit, 16, 24-bit? How many channels, etc.

After "fmt " comes "data". (Again, the four next bytes specify the length). After data is all the information about the song. If the wave file is 8-bit & mono, each byte represents 1 tick of sound in the wave file (determined by the frequency - which is 8.000 kHz for GuitCalc). So I basically read 1 byte at a time here in the data section.

Here's detailed information that I just found off the net if you're interested: http://web.archive.org/web/20071203105906/http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html

Also, just another thing, if I edit a song when I can, is it like extremly hard to keep the simfile (or whatever it's called) from going out of sync with the song?

gah, thats horrible.  Is it like that the whole time?  It didn't sound like that in previous versions.

First of all, the buzz sounds less if you use cheap earpieces (and not computer speakers from a computer emulator). Next, if you mean the previous version as in the 6mHz one on unitedti (confirm what you mean please), then yes, it was not as loud for I Love Rock N' Roll. On the other hand, for most songs, they sounded a lot better (see if Sweet Child o' Mine sounds like that, it doesn't for me). Rock n' Roll was actually rather poorly "enhanced". In the new version you can hear the words, but there's more static. On the other hand, the old version (1-bit) has no buzz like that, but the quality is too low to hear the words (giving a generally impression of the tune of the song).

It's possible that I have a slight glitch in my decompression routine (resulting in garbage), or that my data gets partially corrupted sometime inbetween decompression and outi-ing it to the port (which is a possibility).

So check for Sweet Child o' Mine, and tell me what you get.

Well, I've never gotten WabbitEmu to work. All I get is what's seen in the picture I attached. Any idea why that happens?

Well, tell me if you get the acute static-like buzz for Sweet Child o' Mine on cheaper earpieces. I hear static but no acute buzz (the static is light enough that if you focus on the song itself you can ignore the static)

could you maybe do this for the simple ti-83 without+ or tell me how i get this to work on it.
i think it will be impossible with music cause ram isn't big enough but if you do a small version only hit the buttons this would be great.
