External OPL Audio Support
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
86Box now supports the **OPL2Board** as an external audio device.
|
||||
This allows users to connect a real OPL2 (YM3812) chip through the board and use it alongside the emulator for authentic FM synthesis output.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect your OPL2Board to the host system.
|
||||
2. Select the sound card **[ISA] OPL2Board [External Device]**.
|
||||
3. In the **Configure** button, select the serial port to which the board is connected.

Notes for OPL2Board

-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- You need an **Arduino Nano** and an **OPL2Board** from Cheerful Electronic.
|
||||
- Follow the **instructions from the manufacturer** and upload ``SerialPassthrough.ino`` to the Arduino Nano.
|
||||
- If you want **PCM audio**, you can add an **additional sound card** and disable the OPL output.

Emulation for the Yamaha OPL series of synthesizers (used by many of the emulated cards) is provided by a modified `Nuked OPL3 <https://github.com/nukeykt/Nuked-OPL3>`_ or `ymfm <https://github.com/aaronsgiles/ymfm>`_ library, per the :ref:`selection below <settings/sound:FM synth driver>`. MOS Technology 6581 SID emulation for the Innovation SSI-2001 and The Entertainer is provided by the reSIDfp component of the `libsidplayfp <https://github.com/libsidplayfp/libsidplayfp>`_ library. General Instrument AY-3-8913 emulation for the Mindscape Music Board is provided by the `Ayumi <http://sovietov.com/app/ayumi/ayumi.html>`_ library.

You can also select an external OPL sound card by choosing the sound cards that have **(External Device)** at the end of their name.
