Audio board alert

(1 / 1)


Since the birth of JSA3 with Batman, numerous JSA3s and SAIIs are now floating
around being used on hardware in developement.  With a 6502 program and some
sounds, you too could have cool sounds and music on your game under develope-
ment.  Well, thanks to an oddity of the 6502, RPM had to change how it addresses
things on audio boards.  This manifested itself in a new DECODE gal which is
imcompatible with the older one used on Batman, MMII, OTW, Talons, Road Riot,
etc.  Soooooooo, the next time you rig up a new hardware and pop a JSA3 board
on it (SAIIS is pretty much extinct) be sure to reprogram the DECODE gal (17C)
using the new JED file located at:  [AUDIO.PALS.JSA3] DECODE.JED.  I renamed
the older files OLD_DEC.xxx .
