Download FamiTone2

The original FamiTone got a major update, with data formats change and player and tools code rewrite. The most important improvements are:

- Built-in FamiTracker text export support instead of the old TextExporter plug-in
- Faster code
- Smaller data size
- Tempo support
- Full NTSC/PAL support, with pitch and speed compensation

Which assemblers are supported, which expansion audio is supported, and can any other formats be imported (such as MML or Csound)?

From readme.txt:
Quote:
text2data outputs data in NESASM format by default, you can use -ca65 or -asm6 switches to get output for these assemblers.

From text2data.cpp:
Code:
#define OUT_NESASM   0
#define OUT_CA65   1
#define OUT_ASM6   2


Quote:
which expansion audio is supported

Doesn't look like any. From text2data.cpp:
Code:
#define MAX_PACKED_PATTERNS   (5*MAX_ORDER*MAX_SUB_SONGS)

That covers pulse, pulse, triangle, noise, and DPCM.

From nsf2data.cpp:
Code:
   if(nsf_data[0x7b])
   {
      printf("Expansion chips are not supported\n");
      free(nsf_data);
      return 1;
   }

Let me know which expansion audio is supported by any all-new-parts flash cartridge.

I see something that appears designed for sound effects in FamiTracker NSFs, but not much more.

Is it really necessary to quote random code pieces and make guesses when everything is clearly stated in the readme.txt, and is not changed since the original version? Please understand, I don't need any docs by myself, I spend quite some time and effort to write them for your convenience. Please read them.

line 14 of the readme.txt wrote:
Expansion sound chips are not supported.

'How to use the library' section wrote:
The main version of the FamiTone2 is written in NESASM. There are
versions for CA65 and ASM6 assemblers included in the package as well.

No. It is clearly explained in the readme.txt which formats are supported and how it all works. It is possible to use other import sources, but you'll have to write your own converter, which is a good half of the whole thing.

I'm having trouble getting this to work with cc65. I have sound effects working fine, but I can't get music to work at all.

This line of code is what *SHOULD* play the music:
Code:
if(controllerInput&PAD_START) music_play(music_test);


Here is the function definition for music_play (I DID modify it slightly):
Code:
_music_play:
   stx <PTR
   tax
   ldy <PTR
   jmp FamiToneMusicPlay


Is there something I'm missing?

If music_play is a fastcall function with one parameter, that parameter is in A. What are you doing with X?

The confusion maybe stems from the fact that in FamiTone1, FamiToneMusicStart took a 16-bit parameter (pointer to the music data), whereas in FamiTone2 FamiToneMusicPlay takes a single byte (sub song number).

What exactly do I need to do in order to get a song to play with cc65?

Your _music_play function is broken, is what I was saying. I don't know where you got that from, as it does not appear to be part of FamiTone2.

The first question is whether it is declared correctly. If it takes one parameter in A, it should be declared like this:
Code:
extern void __fastcall__ music_play(unsigned char a);


The second problem is the contents of your _music_play routine. There is no useful value in X when it music_play is called from C, so storing it is counter-productive. Similarly, I don't know what you're doing with X or Y before you call FamiToneMusicPlay, which according to the readme takes a single parameter in A. Your _music_play should just look like this:
Code:
_music_play:
    jmp FamiToneMusicPlay


The rest of how to use it is in the readme, from what I can tell. Did you initialize it?

Yes, thanks! I really didn't have any problems with version 1 but I appreciate the work that went in the text export support and better performance.

With these changes, Dendy can be supported by separating out tempo and pitch. Note the different input spec of A for FamiToneInit

Tempo support makes this a huge improvement. Thank you Shiru!

I translated the FamiTone2 library to the assembler format used by Ophis. Because Ophis does not support conditional compilation (ifdef, etc.), I simply left all features enabled.

Total library size is 1632 bytes, including 259 bytes of data. Song data for my project is 20% smaller than the previous version of FamiTone.
