Hello,
I am converting AGD games for the CoCo and Dragon computers using an add-on module that comes with the V9958 video chip and two sound chips
one of them fully compatible with AY-3-8910
I have already 39 games converted, but I would like to add music and sound, if possible
By now I have found the pt3 music files for ten games. Fortunately searching inside the .sna file (128Kb) I found the text "Tracker" even more than
once in some games. I can extract that data and add it to my AGD source file, the compiler creates a game with music
The problem is that some games, despite creating music, have been created with other tools that don't include the searched text, so I cannot
find the place where the songs begin in order to extract them.
By now this has happened in these games: Antiquity Jones, Bean Brothers, Sprouty and UFO
The effects/sounds present the very same problem. Despite I can find the place inside the .sna file where they do begin, the data I find there is
not the same I have used, say .afb banks. This affects all of the games :-(
Knowing the data format would be very handy indeed!
Could anyone give me any hint/pointer so that I could find these data?
Thanks a lot in advance
cheers!
