◆ REG_APU00

#define REG_APU00 (*(vuint8 *)0x2140)

Main CPU to Sound CPU Communication Port 0 (R/W) 7-0 APU I/O Data (Write: Data to APU, Read: Data from APU) Caution: These registers should be written only in 8bit mode (there is a hardware glitch that can cause a 16bit write to [2140h..2141h] to destroy [2143h], this might happen only in some situations, like when the cartridge contains too many ROM chips which apply too much load on the bus).

Same thing for REG_APU01, REG_APU02 and REG_APU03 for addr 2141h..2143h REG_APU0001 and REG_APU0203 for 16 bits read/write access

Function Documentation

◆ spcAllocateSoundRegion()

spcAllocateSoundRegion ( u8 size )

set the size of the sound region (this must be big enough to hold your longest/largest sound) this function will STOP module playback too

Parameters

size	size of sound region (size*256 bytes)

Examples: audio/tada/Tada.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcEffect()

spcEffect	(	u16	pitch,
		u16	sfxIndex,
		u8	volpan
	)

Play sound effect (load with spcLoadEffect)

Parameters

pitch	pitch (0-15, 8=32khz)
sfxIndex	effect index (0-15)
volpan	volume(0..15) AND panning(0..15) (volume*16+pan)

Examples: audio/effects/effects.c, and audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c.

◆ spcFadeModuleVolume()

spcFadeModuleVolume	(	u16	vol,
		u16	fadespeed
	)

fade the module volume towards the target

Parameters

vol	volume (0..255)
fadespeed	fade speed (volume(0..255) += y every 32ms)

◆ spcLoad()

spcLoad ( u16 musIndex )

load module into sm-spc. this function may take some time to execute

Parameters

musIndex module_id

Examples: audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c, audio/music/Music.c, audio/musicGreaterThan32k/musicGreaterThan32k.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcLoadEffect()

spcLoadEffect ( u16 sfxIndex )

load sound effect into sm-spc. this function may take some time to execute

Parameters

sfxIndex sfx_id

Examples: audio/effects/effects.c, and audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c.

◆ spcPlay()

spcPlay ( u8 startPos )

play module. note: this simply queues a message, use spcFlush if you want to wait until the message is processed

another note: there may be a significant startup time from after the message is processed to when the song starts playing... to sync the program with the song start use spcFlush and then wait until SPC_P of the status register is set.

Parameters

startPos starting position

Examples: audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c, audio/music/Music.c, audio/musicGreaterThan32k/musicGreaterThan32k.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcPlaySound()

spcPlaySound ( u8 sndIndex )

Play sound from memory (using default arguments)

Parameters

sndIndex index in sound table. Be careful: the index 0 corresponds to the LAST sound loaded. The index 1 is the penultimate sound loaded and so on...

Examples: audio/tada/Tada.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcPlaySoundV()

spcPlaySoundV	(	u8	sndIndex,
		u16	volume
	)

Play sound from memory (using default arguments)

Parameters

sndIndex	index in sound table. Be careful: the index 0 corresponds to the LAST sound loaded. The index 1 is the penultimate sound loaded and so on...
volume	volume (0..15)

◆ spcProcess()

spcProcess ( void )

Process messages This function will try to give messages to the spc until a few scanlines pass.

this function MUST be called every frame if you are using streamed sounds

Examples: audio/effects/effects.c, audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c, audio/music/Music.c, audio/musicGreaterThan32k/musicGreaterThan32k.c, audio/tada/Tada.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcSetBank()

spcSetBank ( u8 * bank )

set soundbank origin. soundbank must have dedicated bank(s)

Parameters

bank	bank address

Examples: audio/effects/effects.c, audio/effectsandmusic/effectsandmusic.c, audio/music/Music.c, audio/musicGreaterThan32k/musicGreaterThan32k.c, and games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcSetModuleVolume()

spcSetModuleVolume ( u8 vol )

set the module playback volume

Parameters

vol	volume (0..255)

Examples: games/likemario/LikeMario.c.

◆ spcSetSoundDataEntry()

spcSetSoundDataEntry	(	u8	vol,
		u8	panning,
		u8	pitch,
		u16	length,
		u8 *	sampleaddr,
