Genesis is FM synthesis which means the synth is on board. SNES uses sampling. I really love both. There is a lot of shitty music on both though. When you're using sampling you can use basically any kind of sounds you want right? Earthbound sampled the Sgt. Peppers drum break and The Beach Boys. That's pretty fucking cool. But most the music on the SNES sounds like some circus clown shit or boring orchestral shit with reverb. They had limitless possibilities but managed to make everything so samey. That's down to the musicians more than it is the console though. On the Genesis in the hands of someone with no talent that sound chip sounds like absolute dog shit. But then there are obvious classic soundtracks like Streets of Rage which fucking rocks.

That's just one of many sound drivers used on the Genesis. It's not going to be of much help for emulators because it's just software that runs on the system. Software that has been disassembled multiple times because it's used in all the Sonic games that have been disassembled.

Yeah I think they gravitated towards the kinds of sounds that they did on SNES because of the lower bit depth/sampling rate of the samples. Bright airy sounding things don't give it away so much. It still has it's own distinctive sound to it but in the 90s people probably associated those kinds of sounds with expensive PC hardware. Whenever people talk about SNES soundtracks they usually bring up lush orchestral sounding things. On the other hand the Genesis sound chip is a filthy noisy slut. It's all about the bass and those super crunchy sounding drums.

I'm sure that what happened here was you came in with some hot opinions on a subject you felt you're very well-versed in, didn't expect any pushback, and when you realized you were in over your head, you just kept doubling down. It's fine, it happens.

There is nothing more in that release that we didn't have already for many years in ym3438 manuals .

Also ym2612 emulation is already close to perfect thanks to nuked cycle accurate core and probably was already perfect enough in Kega Fusion 10 years ago as I doubt people can really hear that much FM emulation accuracy differences between Kega Fusion, Blastem or GPGX with either MAME or Nuked core in commercial games. Most of the sound differences are more differences in analog filtering and amplification stages accross the carious console midels but that happens outside of the chip and therefore cannot be figured from chip documentation.

MD fourier is really only helpful to get accurate audio output filtering and levels, it does not really measure the accuracy of chip internals emulation as it only uses a fixed set of FM instruments/algos: FM chip features are not extensively tested, which can make a huge difference in some games, much more than some discrepancies in output frequency responses or volume levels, that anyway vary a lot accross real hardware models.

MD Fourier is quite an useful tool for studying and archiving differences between hardware models, or for fine-tuning your emulation but people are too much trying to use it as a tool to brag about emulation accuracy, without really understanding what it does or what it actually validate/invalidate.

The low pass filtering, as well as the mixing and amplification of various sources (FM, PSG, etc) was done outside of the chips so the cycle accuracy of any core won't have any effect on that.

How digital audio stream is resampled to your audio backend output rate (which is usually lower than those audio chips output rate), how it is filtered or amplified depend entirely on the emulator that uses the FM core or the frontend that playback emulated audio stream on your system.

>It emulates that ladder effect which is probably that sustain thing you were talking about.
Actually, most modern YM2612 cores emulate this oddity quite accurately since a few years by now, including MAME core used in GPGX and Blastem own core.

The thing is, even it is nice to see that (preliminary)YM2612 application manual, it has exact same content or information as the YM3438 aplication manual that was found and already studied years ago so the value is purely for historical preservation.

the code is the most interesting thing about it. sega never shared their routines with anyone, not even with companies working with them outside of japan. these archived audio drivers were used in quite a few titles. for a musician whos deep into this shit like me, finding source code like this (with work files of music and demos) is amazingly rare. it's a great insight into the inner workings of the programmers back then. gives me an erection. the macro language used to program the music is a bit complex but you can sort of work out what's going on.

Must have been a very quick look. It only took me a few seconds to notice that the block diagrams are different. The one in the newly dumped files is obviously wrong but might give insight into how the the chip is designed, or at least how the person who did the diagram thought it was designed. I only skimmed the first few pages of one document looking for obvious differences because your claim seemed implausible. It's also implausible, but not impossible, that this is the only difference.

Like I said, there are "quite" identical, not 1:1 copy. My point is that there is nothing in that new manual that isn't in existing YM3438 manual and bring any more information on the chip that we already had.

The block diagram differences are not significant enough and certainly do not bring any new information, on the contrary: missing connections between REG block and other blocks or between TIMING and LFO blocks clearly indicate it's a simplified diagram and YM3438 manual is actually closer to reality, which can be confirmed by available die shots.

I know pretty well the YM3438 manual as I looked a lot into it back then when it popped on spritesmind forum then so I can assure you that after having looked through the whole of this new YM2612 manual, all the same chapters can be found in YM3438 manual, with exact same content (YM2612 is just replaced by OPN2C which was YM3438 codename) so there is definitively no new information in there. In fact, YM3438 one is actually a lot more complete and has some stuff missing in that YM2612 manual (ALGO/FEEDBACK description especially).

Only 'functional' differences I found are the block diagram being somehow simplified and a few handwritten annotations on register map that seemed to be used to mark differences with another YM chip (YM2203 or YM2608 maybe) that the sound developer was likely familiar with.

Like you said, "it has exact same content or information", which is a demonstrably false claim. I'm glad you're so ashamed of making this ridiculous, uneducated claim that you backpedaled and are now pretending it never happened. But it's the only claim I disputed and no amount of cope will change that. In fact , your cope is only digging your hole deeper. Despite your claims , you know relatively little about the part, and your ignorance becomes blatantly obvious the more to say.
>missing connections between REG block and other blocks or between TIMING and LFO blocks clearly indicate it's a simplified diagram and YM3438 manual is actually closer to reality, which can be confirmed by available die shots.
The actual die shots clearly show that the Timer and LFO are separate, which makes the YM3438 version the simplified version. You literally couldn't be reading it more wrong. Maybe if you took a break from bullshiting and actually read the shit you'd find some new information. Clearly some of the information, while already known by people who know what they're talking about, is new to you.

this is me just guessing but because of how FM synthesis works it usually ends up generating a shit ton of extra partials (which would make it sound brighter, if occasionally discordant) unless they're explicitly filtered out which I'm not sure the Genesis/MD equipment can do. whereas if SNES is sample based, the samples would have to be really crushed down in size which often ends up removing a lot of the high frequencies. if you ever record something like a hi hat into say an 8 bit sampler it doesn't really end up sounding much like a hi hat anymore.

So after you get BTFO now you move the goalposts to rephrase and say that it at least had the (subjectively as decided by you) "important" information, whereas before you were saying it had all the same information.
You've demonstrated incredible faggotry, parroting wrong information and then refusing to admit it when you were corrected, then even moving the goalposts in a desperate attempt to make other people look wrong, while it was only you the whole time who was wrong and trying to look knowledgeable.
