sQLay3 gains QSound and IPC sound

Post by XorA »

So sqlay3 is still not really ready for v1.0 release but some people may find it useful.

It has been moved to SDL3 which has IMO a much easier audio subsystem with build in mixer.

This means thanks to Stephen Usher allowing me to use his sample an MDV sound effect has appeared.

Thanks to Exile for letting me use the code from sQLux IPC sound has appeared.

And an AY-3-8912 emulator has been added so a QSound emulation has appeared.

The format of sqlay3.ini has changed a bit to allow expansion rom loading.

Code: Select all

#sysrom = roms/JS.rom
sysrom = roms/min1.98a1.bin
#exprom = roms/qsound140.rom@0x220000
exprom = roms/qsound140.rom@0xC0000
#qsound = 0x222000
qsound = 0xC2000
drive = win1@WIN1/
#ramsize = 2048
ramsize = 640
mdvvol = 1
ayvol = 3
ipcvol = 3
All available for the super cheap price of $1000000 at https://github.com/xXorAa/sQ68Lay

Hi,
I had no problem building sQLay3 except Qsound driver: playvtx.c need the library sys/soundcard.h not found.
Any help in finding the solution or, even better, is somewhere Qsound bin available?
Thx !

Sorry ...I found it in a previous thread

I have no idea what your problem is, playvtx.c is not a file used by sqlay3
