Fellows, what is the problem implementing emulated OPL
in the DOS frontend? Are there any problems compiling
fmopl.c under Watcom or DJGPP or whatever you use?..
There's no problem with the emulator at all. In fact, it is
compiled into the final DOS frontend executable. It's just
not used. That's because i haven't found a good sound
hardware output library for Watcom. If anyone is interested
in getting emulated sound output to work with the DOS
frontend, he's free to implement it. I'm thankful for any help.

Oh, right, I should have guessed about that before asking.
Well, since you use C and PM, Allegro could be the choice,
right? Is there anything wrong with it?
After all, coding a simple DMA mixer for SB16, SBPro and
SB2.0, 1.5 wouldn't be a problem. Even for SB 1.0, though
it doesn't support autoinit DMA... If that was RM asm...
But it's PM C :(
I'd suggest Allegro then.

For now, implementing bare disk writer would be a matter of
just a couple of lines to add, while it will amuse somebody
and give a chance to hear the emulated playback on various
OPL modules. Consider this one for now. Wish you luck :)

Yes, Allegro would also be my first consideration. And while
even writing an own DMA mixer for SB compatibles wouldn't be
a problem, it's just that i'm pretty busy at the moment and
would really like someone else to do it if he needs that
feature.

I am really very sorry it's not going to be me :~( No
experience in PM C stuff...
Well, after all, why a man would be so bothered about that
while having a real OPL3 on his SB16? ;)
Thanks for replying!
