Official Atari ST NokturnFM2/3 cartridges page

Post by nokturnal »

Hi,
I've published official Atari ST NokturnFM2/3 cartridges page. It's preliminary, basic project description, basic programming information and NokturnFM.play console player, which can replay several formats (still consider it beta, because it's not finished, but it is good enough for now).
NokturnFM are cartridges, which allow to use OPL2 / 3 soundchips with Atari ST and up. There's some things left to do, so watch this space.

@Maximilian Thanks, I've tried to make them backwards compatible with FM Melody cart to avoid 'driver management' with interface as light as possible.
@nemo I've got limited 'batch 0' assembled and tested (8 OPL2, 7OPL3 (there might be three more OPL3 based carts if I find more opl3 chips)), rough situation is described right here. So, when batch 0 will run out I will organise some sort of preorder to know how many devices I need to produce and estimate new batch costs.

Hi, I've added hardware OPL support for SCUMMVM, here is video recorded from Falcon030/CT60 + NokturnFM2 cart:




Video is from composite, so it is total garbage, cannot grab anything with decent quality..

I would like to inform that I've started collecting preorders for NokturnFM2 / NokturnFM3 cartridges.
More details can be found in official announcement.
