<h3>Sound:</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>AppleWin emulates both the internal speaker (using the PC speaker or sound card)
|
|
|
|
|
and also the Mockingboard sound card (using a PC sound card).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Use the AppleWin Configuration tab labelled <em>Sound</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using a sound card, then use at least DirectX-9.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Speaker:</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You can select PC speaker or sound card:</p>

<ul>

|
|
|
<li>PC speaker: This is not recommended as the quality is poor. It is not usable on Windows 2000 or XP.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Sound card: Recommended</li>
|

|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>Mockingboard:</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When the Mockingboards are enabled, the cards are physically plugged into slots

|
4 and 5 of the Apple II.</p>
|
2006-07-08 17:12:52 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Each Mockingboard is a type 'C': 2x AY8910 (3-channel sound generator) & 1x
|
|
|
|
|
SSI263 (speech chip)<font face="Tahoma"><br>
|
|
|
|
|
</font>Each AY8910 is fully emulated (tone, noise & envelope).<font face="Tahoma"><br>
|
|
|
|
|
</font>Each SY6522 (that controls an AY8910) can generate precise timer
|
|
|
|
|
interrupts or phoneme-complete interrupts.<font face="Tahoma"><br>
|
|
|
|
|
</font>Emulation of the SSI263 is basic at the moment and only plays back
|
|
|
|
|
phonemes at a fixed rate without any support for inflection or filters.<font face="Tahoma"><br>
|
|
|
|
|
</font>Additionally the Votrax/SC-01 (predecessor to the SSI263) is emulated by
|
|
|
|
|
remapping Votrax phonemes to the SSI263's.</p>

<H4>Phasor:</H4>
|
2012-12-30 14:21:12 +00:00
|
|
|
<P>When Phasor is enabled, the card is physically plugged into slot 4 of the Apple II.</P>
|
2006-07-08 17:12:52 +00:00
|
|
|
<P>Phasor is equivalent to 2 Mockingboards: so has 4x AY8910 & 1x SSI263.</P>

|
|
<P> </P>
|
|

<P>There are a number of games and demos that support Mockingboard (or Phasor), eg:</P>
