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?..

Thanks!

    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!
