    I wanted to hear the difference between AT2 on pc and the MSX players, so i made a small test setup.
    I recorded from a real MSX VG8000 to the left channel and the analog output from my pc at the Right running Arkos Tracker 2. But separate recorded to WAV with an R-09HR. I synched the channels at ~0:50. Remarkable is the timing. The sounds dont look on the screen at all the same, but sound same!

    So basically, you’re saying that the emulation is accurate, right? 🙂

    But yeah, the sound never “looks” the same. It would be quite difficult to emulate exactly those capacitors, and I would have to emulate them differently according to the hardware! And you probably wouldn’t notice the difference anyway :).

    About the syncing, what I am quite proud of is that the Z80 players are test-united automatically against the C++ player (used by AT2) to be sure that the exact same data are sent to the PSG. So whenever I make an evolution/change to a Z80 player, I don’t have to test it like crazy like myself because I have automated tests that do it for me! This is a great security.
