Well, it makes a lot of sense, but I hadn't seen the technique described before. Do you think, then, the way 8 bits completely holds the maximum range of distortion plus frequency is design or coincidence? (And if design, why couldn't they just use a single register for both?) Also, with a "normally working 2600 driver", is there a standard way of indicating "rest"? I was using $FF to indicate "turn volume to nothing", but that wouldn't work with the 5.3 technique. Does it have a "magic value" that doesn' come up in real life that can be used as a flag? > > Well, part of the point of the exercise was to use the output of > > Tune2600, which isn't friendly like that, but I guess I could add > > another column amalgamating the two... > > Admittedly I didn't look at the webinterface. You sounded as if it were just a frontend for the DOS exe? Isn't the output 100% in your control then? Yep, that's what I described...right now Tune2600 outputs a decimal value for distortion, and a decimal value for frequency in seperate columns, so I could grab those and add them together hex-wise. > > Possibly I could add to the scraping of tune2600 to get those, though > > I don't like how it would mean information would be in two places, > > What? oops, meant to erase that.
