# Fmplayer (beta) PC-98 FM driver emulation (very early version) ## Current status: * Supported formats: PMD, FMP(PLAY6) * PMD: FM, SSG, Rhythm part supported; ADPCM, PPZ8 not supported yet * FMP: FM, SSG, Rhythm, ADPCM, PPZ8, PDZF supported * This is just a byproduct of reverse-engineering formats, and its emulation is much worse than PMDWin, WinFMP * FM always generated in 55467Hz (closest integer to 7987200 / 144), SSG always generated in 249600Hz and downsampled with sinc filter (Never linear interpolates harmonics-rich signal like square wave) * SSGEG, Hardware LFO not supported * PPZ8: linear interpolation only (same as PMDWin/WinFMP, much better than original ppz8.com which only did nearest-neighbor interpolation) ## Installation/Usage (not very usable yet) ### gtk Uses gtk3, portaudio ``` $ cd gtk $ autoreconf -i $ ./configure $ make $ ./fmplayer ``` Reads drum sample from `$HOME/.local/share/fmplayer/ym2608_adpcm_rom.bin` (same format as MAME). Currently needs `$HOME/.local/share/fmplayer/font.rom` to display titles/comments. ### win32 version 0.1.0: https://github.com/takamichih/fmplayer/releases/tag/v0.1.0 Uses MinGW-w64 to compile. ``` $ cd win32/x86 $ make ``` Reads drum sample from the directory in which `fmplayer.exe` is placed. Uses DirectSound (WinMM if there is no DirectSound) to output sound. This works on Windows 2000, so it is theoretically possible to run this on a real PC-98. (But it was too heavy for my PC-9821V12 which only has Pentium 120MHz)
