- added 'ADPCM_MUTE' & 'ADPCM_SET_MAX_VOL' [NeoHomeBrew]
- added 'NAME ARRAY' [NeoHomeBrew]
- added 16MB VSize option for PCM & MaxPCM [totologic]
- added 'CDDA_STOP' in Z80 Startup because most comercial games forces an Z80Reset when dealing with 'USER_REQUEST' & Co.

NGFX_SoundBuilder_210808.zip

With the introduction of 8 soundbanks the NGFX soundbuilder now supports up to 1792 sounds (ADPCMA, ADPCMB & CDDA).

NGFX_SoundBuilder_210501.zip

Due to several requests, here come a new build with the 32mb option enabled. These changes only apply to the GUI, the Z80 core remains unchanged. Furthermore I added some text about the license/usage of the data generated by the NGFX soundbuilder.

No other changes!

NGFX_SoundBuilder_200624.zip

What will Santa bring you this Year?

I bring you the next part of my NeoGeo related NGFX-toolchain.

When I started the development of 'BlutEngel2' I used NeoSoundBilder from NeoBitz but I came across some problems - it was not compatible with my NeoGeoCD-AIO-files. After research and help from some people, I was able to develop my own Z80 driver which covered ADPCM-A, ADPCM-B & CDDA-playback.

The GUI (inspired by NeoBitz) has caused me more headache than the z80 part... but now it seems ready for release!

Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!
