AY-3-8913 chip

So I have a 6809 8bit with an AY-3-8913 chip, and am working on getting it to play files.

What I was wondering is the best way to get raw data (with a format guide) so I can import it into my compile chain. (which is me feeding the registers on the sound chip currently)

My ultimate goal is to be able to push a player back into the project.

I have viewed the 68000 raw data but I'm a few clues short of understanding it through the comments.

Hi! First of all, know that all the formats (AKG, AKY, AKM) are all documented in the "doc" folder, if you ever wanted to create a 6809 player for any of them (which I'd be glad to integrate in the package!). AKY is the simplest and the fastest player, and has already been adapted to several CPUs.

However, if you want a very simple format for a short music, you could use an export to YM, which is basically a raw dump of AY/YM registers (the format has been created by Leonard/Oxygen on Atari ST). AT3, via the "stream music analyzer" tool, allows you to import a YM, then export it as CSV, in case you wanted to create your own format.

Thank you for the information, I missed that doc folder, la sigh

Now I have a project for the Easter weekend.
