Superboard/UK101 Programmable sound generator AY-3-8910...

[Osi]

AY-3-8910 and SN76489AN PSG emulation for the Ohio Scientific Superboard and UK101.

Who does not remember the Premier Publication Software and Hardware projects like the AY-3-8910 Soundboard.
In combination with Basic4/5/X ROMs, the Soundboard could be programmed directly in Basic.

Both AY-3-8910 and SN76489AN PSG's have been widely used and if you want to give them a try, attached my refreshed WinOsi emulator.
The SN76489AN dates back to 1978 and was used in the TI99/4 and may others.

If you start the Emulator, for all UK101 configurations, the AY-3-8910 is active, for all the others the SN76489AN.
Check out the VGM_AY3-8910.prg demo, that plays VGM formatted sound files.
If you change the configuration to standard Superboard, you can try out VGM_SN76489.prg for the other sound chip.

VGM stands for Video Game Music and don't miss out VGMRIPS https://vgmrips.net/packs/chips and their amazing collection.

When changing configuration to Basic-X, the AY-3-8910 is present.
Here you have new Basic commands to directly control the PSG. Sample file is included.

As usual, check out the full Emulator under https://storage.googleapis.com/constant ... tei13.html

If you have any Basic-X programs, using the Sound generator, please let me know.
