Necronomfive's YM2413 core integrated in de Mega EverDrive x7

RDJ134 8 augustus 2017 om 16:29 uur

Retro hardware guru Krikkz heeft zijn Mega EverDrive x7 voorzien van een hele nieuwe feature, namelijk Full FM Sound voor de SEGA Master System Games die opeens een stuk mooier klinken dan voorheen. Deze 'core' is ontwikkelt door Necronomfive en dus nu EXCLUSIEF te gebruiken op de x7 kaart. Zoals je hier op het forum kan lezen zal er geen backporting plaats vinden naar de andere x serie kaarten, zoals mijn x5 waar van je mijn recensie hier kan lezen.


Hello everybody,

some people here probably know me as the guy who did the Konami VRC7 FM sound core for the Everdrive N8.

Developing the whole FM core from scratch, just for one single Nintendo Famicom game, certainly seemed to be a bit eccentric, even though, of course being a Konami game, it has a great soundtrack.

My suggestion to krikzz was that I can expand the VRC7 into a full Yamaha YM2413 core.

Because, if there is one console on the planet, which deserves a much better sound chip, it's the highly underrated 8-bit predecessor of the Sega Mega Drive, the Master System. ;)

So, ladies and gentlemen,here is a first test core for the Mega Everdrive, which adds FULL FM SOUND for Master System Games supporting the FM sound expansion. And these are not too few...

It still has some smaller inaccuracies, but I think that it might already serve most of the people here well enough.

This update is for the Mega Everdrive v2 / X7. Just replace the /MEGA/MEGA.RBF file with MEGA.RBF from the archive.

Feedback and suggestions are always most welcome.

Enjoy!
