Hi!
Here is the TitchySID-LIB (TinySID) with sources by StatMAT in ONLY 12kb!
I did a conversion to Purebasic...
Hope the rest follows...

BIG thanx to StatMAT for this great SMALL lib!

Cheers eNeRGy

!

Almost makes me want to use Masm!

Nice one!

Cheers for the spread energy. I saw there's already another fine library by Jim and stormbringer here. Funny that we we're working independently on the same thing, at the same time, with slightly different goals!

Anyway, I hope this lib will prove useful anyway. And I should be releasing an even smaller v1.1 shortly. I love optimising! Sad really...

Just one thing missing - a readme

This looks quite useful I think I will have a stab at this lib. StartSID - StopSID just what we need without any bloaty frills

Yeah, I was a bit lazy there! I'll include one when I release v1.1 shortly.

Have some good karma Statmat.

StatMat · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2008 »

Okay, I've now finished working on v1.1 which is now considerably smaller (8.2kb). There's also some optional new functionality such as play/resume and changing songs (which adds about 1k to the lib). The package now contains two demos, one in MASM and the other in C (Visual Studio). And as if that wasn't enough, there's also a proper readme this time!

Hope some of you will find it useful.

@StatMat:

Awesome. Thanks a lot for this release and for nice
C example!

That deserves some K++

Shockwave · « **Reply #9 on:** August 06, 2008 »

Thanks Statmat, cheers for the mention in the info file too and thanks for posting it.

It's really cool to have !

Very goood StatMAT!!

Rbz · « **Reply #12 on:** August 10, 2008 »

Nice work indeed, I love those libs coded in ASM

I'll do a fb wrapper soon

This is a really nice package, but since you're already delivering a precompiled lib, it would be nice to avoid this:

Code: [Select]

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib

Oh, and maybe you can have a look what's going wrong here ?

StatMat · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2008 »

Yes, you're quite right, those libs should not be hardcoded like that. In my focus to tweak the actual code, I forgot to sort that.

Anyway, I now have a version that does this, and I am currently looking into the bug with that Commando sid file you provided. I will release v1.2 once that is sorted.

Awesome! Thanks very much!

I know things have gone a little quiet on this as I have been busy with real-life work recently. Anyway, I just thought I've give you a quick update. Basically the known bugs/issues as pointed out by hellfire etc have been resolved, and quite a few emulation issues have been fixed. I'm just finishing up the main new feature of this release which is an FFT routine for people to visualise the sound with spectrum analysers and whatnot. The format of the returned data is the same as BASS, allowing the use of the many examples for that. There's also going to be fading functionality which I hope some users may find useful.

I expect to do a release in the next week.

Damned sweet

FFT will be a really great feature for this lib.

StatMat · « **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2008 »

Well, to keep things interesting, I have decided to give you guys a sneak-peek at the latest TitchySID in action. I have attached the updated demo which demonstrates the new FFT stuff with a spectrum analyser. The library has also had quite a few bug fixes in the emulation (@hellfire - Commando should now work correctly!

). The code also sync the threads better to avoid nasty artifacts when switching song. I haven't released the lib yet as I want to optimize the code further and update the docs etc. Plus I need to finish the logarithmic fading. Anyway, it should give a good idea how things are going. The extras version of lib has grown to around 12.5kb now (was about 9.5kb before), but I still think that's okay. And of course, the non-extras lib is still nice and small for those who don't want the frills. As usual, it's been difficult to make time to work on the code, but I promise it will be released very shortly for you all to play with!
