Cool. I have some interesting in looking at the MD driver when you post it. I have spent more than a while looking at the sound in that thing in the last 6 months.

While on the subject of audio, is there some way of mixing YM3812 and YM2203? The way i am using them in DEC0 at the moment they both destroy whatever is currently in the audio buffer. Is there something I missed, or do I just have to mix them myself?

[Barry Harris]

I'll go through my favourite megadrive games and then tidy my tree up and post it. Glad somebody wants to look at it further.

The FM cores in FBA currently write to pBurnSoundOut exclusively. It would be fairly trivial to make them write to a buffer instead if desired and then you could do your own mixing. The proper way to do it would probably to add a bAddSignal on init similar to the MSM chips in FBA and similar to the way I've done the SN7649 emulation in my current tree. I might take a look at doing both of them in the near future because they would probably both be useful.

Thanks for confirming it, I might take a look at it tomorrow. I spent most of this evening playing with the graphics problems in Bad Dudes and made some progress on the title screen at least. Not sure what the hell the priority stuff is supposed to do on some of the layers tho.

Very nice!   I'd also be willing to work on a chunk of those md games if you want. ^^

@ Kev - Post some screenshots!!

I should have my tree tidied in a couple of days and I'll do a release then so it will be available for all.

Yeah, way too many!

They probably should have the 16bit flag on them. Feel free to update the driver with fixes, working games, etc. or liase with kev as I don't plan on looking at the megadrive stuff in the near future.
