Wow, another great project of yours'! No more reason to shell out 80 bucks for a harmony cart
I'll definately try to build one of those. Also your new site is looking good

Thanx y'all for your replies! Might look into getting a SilverLink then. Beats having to carry around my old P3 I guess

So I always assumed that TI's USB cables don't work with TI82, since that's what everybody says (including TI).
However, after reading this post, I'm starting to wonder... if the SilverLink works for TI86, why shouldn't it work for TI82 as well? I mean, if it doesn't work with TI82, then the problem would be due to lack of software support rather than hardware issues, right?

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Yup, runs on c64. I see that you are well prepared :p

So I ran a few tests. It seems that the problem occurs only when using Pulse (which is what Tilem will auto-select on my system).
When using Pulse, audio will be wrong regardless of latency/sr settings (even if latency is set to a very high level). As mentioned before, the pitch changes when changing those settings.

audiodev-sdl: Initialized "pulse" driver
audiodev-sdl: buffer size = 2048, latency = 0,064
x2: audio: Starting playback:
x2: audio:  rate        = 48000
x2: audio:  channels    = 2
x2: audio:  format      = 16-bit, signed, little-endian
x2: audio:  buffer size = 4096

Note the mismatch in buffer size, dunno if it's supposed to be like that.

Another interesting thing is that Tilem automatically adjusts the latency setting - the above was run with latency=60, Tilem switches to 64. Well, I don't mind that, as it doesn't seem to cause any problems. This happens with all drivers.

So now the good news: If I switch to Alsa, everything will work as intended, regardless of latency/sr settings.

audiodev-sdl: Initialized "alsa" driver
audiodev-sdl: buffer size = 8192, latency = 0,0929
x2: audio: Starting playback:
x2: audio:  rate        = 44100
x2: audio:  channels    = 2
x2: audio:  format      = 16-bit, signed, little-endian
x2: audio:  buffer size = 8192

Initial latency setting for the above was 96, switched to 93 by Tilem. I can go significantly lower without any problems though.

Btw my setup is: Debian Testing on Solo-Core T60, 2 GB RAM, 1,6 GHz, standard Intel onboard sound.

Hope that helps

The sources are for the eXtended Module format, which is a standard format used across many PCM trackers running on various platforms, the most popular example being Milkytracker. Writing an XM to TIMID converter might be a good idea, since many chip musicians already know how to use XM trackers. On the other hand, I'd never say no to a new tracker xD

Just found out about this... Wow, this is amazing. Will be following developement closely from now on

As far as trackers go, this might be interesting for you. Never mind the PC speaker part (it's total shit anyway), but the XM converter part could be relevant. Sadly I just hacked somebody's code for it, I don't really understand it.

If you need to generate actual SID register writes, you might also want to check out Goattracker, if you haven't already.

Btw if you have time you should present your project on chipmusic.org!
