Custom Mixer vs. GBA BIOS Sound Driver   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #14361 of 15019 |
I've been looking into the specifications for the GBA BIOS Sound
Driver and realize that it would suffice for the bulding of any sort
of .MOD/.S3M player atop it. I've noticed that many GBA Devr's roll
their own mixers. I developed a mixer and .S3M Player for Sound
Blaster Pro a good 5 years ago, so I have experience in the matter,
but I am concerned about performance. I figure that any integrated
mixer would take advantage of the GBA hardware better than my
homebrew. Is my concern justified? Has anyone used the GBA BIOS
Sound Driver?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

... The BIOS has access to the BIOS ROM, which runs at 32 bits 0 wait state. The only other memory in the GBA that's as fast is IWRAM, and that's tiny. ... Or...
