Summary MESS-specific 07405: dragon32, dragon64, dragon64h, dragon200, dragon200e: dragon_jcbsnd sound extension module is silent
Description Hi,

I typed the example program that comes with the JCB Sound Extension Module for Dragon computers (http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index.php?title=Dragon_32_Sound_Extension_Module), and couldn't hear any sound output.

I tried the program on a real Dragon 64 and it works as intended.

You'll find attached a copy of the program in cas and wav formats, and here's a link of a video recording I did of the program running: https://mega.nz/#!Vo1BDKZQ!_yWjEtEDBxGaZ4JJkqApoxPsFGzc3sKKqGjZo8NkxIk

As usual, please contact me if I can be of any help.

Best regards,
Rob
Steps To Reproduce Use the attached cas or wav files with the dragon_jcbsnd extension:

./mame64 dragon32 -ext jcbsnd -window -resolution 640x480 -cass BOOGIE.CAS

Type:
CLOAD
RUN

Upon running the program you should hear a tune played on the PSG through the computer's audio output or the extension cartridge's audio jack, but currently you'll get no sound.
Additional Information I think this is actually related to https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=7305 , and it may be that the handling of the audio source isn't done right.

It happens on SDLMame binary and compiling from source too.

The problem seems to be that sam6883_device's crude memory remapping methods are obliterating the PSG handlers. The PSG writes are occurring, but the sound device never receives them.

I've found a fix. The necessary overrides were there all along.

Thanks for fixing, it would've regressed when the cococart_interface was reworked (0.210) in order to implement the CTS handlers for the Sprites board.
