Abstract:
A method of emulating a frequency modulation sound chip comprising:providing a frequency modulation emulator suitable to communicate with a computer system, the frequency modulation emulator providing an emulator addressable memory space, the emulator addressable memory space being substantially similar to an emulated addressable memory space on the emulated frequency modulation sound chip, the emulator addressable memory space being suitable for communication with a frequency modulation application implemented on the computer system, wherein the emulator chip is suitable to receive audio data through the addressable memory space from the frequency modulation application; andimplementing a frequency modulation generator on the computer system, the frequency modulation generator accessing audio data from the frequency modulation emulator,whereby the frequency modulation generator receives audio data for processing in a manner that is substantially similar to the operation of the emulated frequency modulation sound chip, and the frequency modulation emulator provides communication with the frequency modulation application.
