If the game does any software sound mixing at all, the sounds should be in Fast RAM and only a playback buffer in chip. Also, 8kHz? What is this, late 80s telephony? It would be great to have a modern sound mixer  |
I think the 2MB version is all the code in "ifne CHEESEY" blocks.
The game does indeed support 8 channel stereo sound, controlled by F3
See code here:

We can make the 8 channel sound default by changing the 4 into an 8 here:

I haven't tried allocating what happens when samples get allocated in fastmem... worth an experiment.
I think this can be done by replacing MEMF_CHIP with MEMF_ANY here:
