Summary | 06682: qb3: Missing AY-3-8910 sound | ||||
Description |
Missing sound in QB-3 (prototype) since MAME 0.189. QB-3 uses 3x AY-3-8910 for sound, like Demon (same driver). But in Demon the sound works! |

This is not going to be a fun job. QB-3 is an unreleased prototype by Rock-Ola using an additional Z80-based sound board similar to the one they added to Demon (a schematic for which is available), but with the communications modified in some undocumented way that wasn't perfectly emulated before I broke it. It really doesn't help here that the Cinematronics CPU isn't an actual integrated circuit but a loose assortment of TTL parts, which makes it ambiguous as to what data the output instructions are supposed to be writing into the FIFO. |

Or you revert the changes only for QB-3 and added a note. |

Simply reverting to the old code for just one machine wouldn't have worked, given that the old qb3 implementation was too closely tied to demon and other games in the driver. It took a temporary reversion before I saw that the old implementation was inverting the sound command data once in the qb3-specific routine, only to invert it yet again in the one used by demon. I've dealt with that for now. |
