Nestopia not output the MMC5 raw PCM channel

[zerofalcon]

Hi! I was "googleing" some NES hacks and found this Super Mario All Stars NES version, it is an impressive hack. The autor said in his post that Nestopia is not outputting the MMC5 raw pcm channel, therefore, there is no cheering (myke tyson's cheering sample) at the intro screen. He posted a posible solution by enabling the MMC5 Raw PCM channel (register $5011).
There is the page with his post:

I know it seems more like a petition than an issue, but if this can be fixed it would be great! Thanks in advanced and keep up the good work.

It's something other people have brought up to me in the past, and it may happen one day. I am writing an emulator from scratch on the side and it is greatly increasing my knowledge, so it is possible I can make this happen once I get to the APU stage and fully understand it.

Thank you!

Could you show us some code to get this working dragon2snow? Please?

[dragon2snow]

This isn't BUG, and it isn't necessary to fix.
port 5010,select write mode or read mode.Super Mario All Stars NES version not write 5010 value 00,not enabled write mode.

[joepogo]

I know its not a BUG. Im asking if you know how to make it where 5011 is output. Do you know how to do it?

[dragon2snow]

rom,write 5010,value 00,open write mode.5011 is output

[rdanbrook]

Don't worry, I know how to do it. It's just a matter of working it into Nestopia's heavily templated C++ codebase, and having the luxury of free time to do so :).

Hey rdanbrook, is this a trivial fix or one that is pretty difficult? If so, will it affect any other games that utilize the ouput of the channel? IIRC its a mahjong game or the like.

[rdanbrook]

It should be fairly easy to fix once I put my mind to it. It's just a matter of sitting down and having enough time to integrate my brain with that part of the source code one weekend.

[joepogo]

Hey Rdanbrook, do you know by chance which files in nestopia would need to be modified to get this to work?

This is infidelity, the creator of Super Mario All-Stars NES. I found this conversation within google, and took the advice from "dragon2snow" regarding the mmc5 $5010 register. So now the cheering sfx works correctly as an mmc5 pcm sample on nestopia.

I will be releasing a newer update to my project hopefully within a few days.

Check here for my next release.
