Williams/Midway ADPCM Sound board
Used for conjunction with their Y/T unit, it has ordinary de facto standard OPM+MSM6295 on this era with software controlled DAC from predecessors.
Konami Battlantis
Used at Battlantis arcade hardware, It is early SB Pro but mono configuration.
Sega System 24
This Sega's early arcade system featured to floppy disk and high resolution graphics. Sound hardware is similar as their System 16, but ADPCM is replaced to software controlled DAC.
Namco System 86
Predecessor of System 1(a.k.a. System 87), It features similar sound hardware and optional ROM and DAC expansion.
Namco Thunder Ceptor

Irem M72
Irem's first arcade system with FM sound system, All released game except R-Type is featured also LOUD software controlled DAC, inherited from their predecessors sound system.
- implement E1xy/E2xy Defle bug when using same note twice
- add SNK Touchdown Fever preset
- update README.md and to-do list
- update credits
thank you for your patience!
see you in 0.6pre1.5 coming soon...
Prepare for reducing duplicates for 4op FM related codes
Add and correct bunch of presets
- mostly based on MAME source.
- Neo Geo AES uses slightly difference clock for NTSC, PAL colorbust frequency.
- Turbosound FM + SAA: Some Turbosound FM has additional SAA1099, for additional sound channel and Plays SAM coupe tune?
- PC-98:
- Sound Orchestra: OPN with hardpanned stereo, some model has with OPL family FM addons.
V variation has Y8950 and supports ADPCM.
- Sound Blaster 16 for PC-9800: This famous PC sound card is also exists for PC-98, with optional OPN PC-9801-26(K) compatibility on some models.
- IBM PCjr: PC with SN PSG sound, but less popular than previous models, and compatible Tandy 1000.
- Tandy 1000: PCjr and previous IBM PC compatible, also has SN PSG (later embedded in their ASIC, like Sega).
- Hexion: One of konami's budget arcade hardware with SCC + MSM6295 sound system, like their amusement hardware in this era.
- DJ Boy, Atari JSA IIIs, Skimaxx: How to panning sound or plays stereo sound on MSM6295 - just use MSM6295s per each output!
- Air Buster: One of arcade hardware with OPN + MSM6295 sound system, Used this configuration is also some hardwares.
- Tecmo system: One of arcade hardware with pretty unique sound system: OPL3, YMZ280B, MSM6295; first 2 entry is mostly used in music, last entry is mostly used in sound effect.
- Sunsoft Shanghai 3: Predecessor of Sunsoft Arcade is using YM2149 rather than FM, MSM6295 is still there.
- Atari Klax: example of arcade hardware sound system with single MSM6295 only.
- Ikari warriors: This early SNK Triple-Z80 hardware uses 2 OPL1s and no ADPCM supports.
- Coreland Cyber Tank: This rare arcade machine's stereo sound is like SB Pro, but it's actually produced in 2 Y8950s.
- Data East MLC: Latest arcade hardware from Data East, with single YMZ280B for sound.
- Kaneko Jackie Chan: Predecessor of Super Kaneko Nova System hardware, also with YMZ280B.
- Super Kaneko Nova System: Latest arcade hardware from Kaneko, with single YMZ280B for sound. this announced 3D acceleration addon, but finally cancelled.
- Toaplan 1: Home of Late 80-Early 90s Good ol' stuffs, Example of arcade sound system with single OPL2
- Namco Pac-Land: and this era, Namco start to change Custom 15 WSG to their Custom 30 WSG with featured RAM based waveform, and mailbox feature.
- Namco System 1: One of latest usage of Custom 30 WSG, with OPM FM hardware and 8 bit DAC and Stereo output.
Add various clock, type options for chips
- SN7: Prepare to add 17 bit noise variation, Game gear stereo extentsion, NCR PSG variation (MAME core only for now)
- OPN, OPNA: Add placeholder for prescaler option
- OPL: Prepare for OPL3L, OPL4 downscaled output rate option
* more presets
* oops
consistency anyone?
* alpha 68k was an alpha denshi system
* more presets
6295 edition. Requires fact-checking, and maybe, cherrypicking
* facepalm
* #342 presets
that should conclude it
* address feedback
* naming update
* MSM6295 wasnt used in MLC
* address feedback part 2
and adding OKI chips to the sample category
Fix AY PSG clock divider function when exists, Update emulation core (MAME AY PSG and compatibles - includes noise routine updates)
Fix configuration flag, Add MSX Darky sound expander to preset
Clock divider isn't affected to expanded mode's tone and noise generator?
So that they are consistent with NES expansions.
For X16, the VERA is more integral to the system and has lower I/O address than YM2151
and YM2151 was once an expansion chip during development.
2 Pulse channels:
- 8 level pulse duty cycle, DAC mode(just ignores duty cycle)/pulse wave mode, 4 bit volume.
- Furnace support PCM playback in pulse channels with duty cycle ignore mode.
Sawtooth:
- nothing but 6 bit volume (8 bit accumulator in technically) and 12 bit frequency (periodic).
VRC6 instrument:
- 6 bit Volume macro for finer sawtooth volume handling, also 3 bit Duty cycle macro for pulse channels.
Duty, PCM mode command and Duty macro affects for pulse channel only.
Standalone OPLs
Sound Blaster Pro 1.0
Earliest Sound Blaster Pro has 2 OPL2s, it supports stereo like successor but with hardpanned OPL2: one for Left output and one for Right output.
PC-FXGA
PC-FX, SuperGrafx on steroids, Released at December 1994 in NEC.
PC-FXGA is PC add-on card version of PC-FX for IBM PC and PC-98. It's released at 1995 with 3D acceleration - it lacks at original PC-FX console.
SAAYM
Modern CMS/Game Blaster Compatible PC ISA sound card with YM2151 addon. Commander X16 will be use its configuration but SAA in X16 is finally replaced to VERA.
Seta 1 + FM Addon
