With MP3 players and digital cameras driving the price of SmartMedia cards
down I'm back to thinking that maybe a brute-force sample player board might
be the way to go for adding sound to the Sega G-80 multigame and possibly
the Cinematronics Multigame as well.
All the more I'm thinking is a Scenix PIC clone (probably 50MHz), a Smart
Media card (16MByte?), and a 10 or 12 bit DAC. (This gives me a perfect
excuse to buy a Scenix dev kit which I've been dying to play with. ;-)
I can grab the data from the Smart Media card, "mix" it in the Scenix, and
pump it out to a serial DAC for playback.
Just wondering how many "voices" I need to make so I can guestimate load on
the Scenix. (If anything the bottleneck might be getting data from the
SmartMedia card, it's actually a pretty fast interface though...)
