New Floppy Drive Sound for WinUAE - Page 2

andreas · 08 January 2007, 23:12

I hope too. Here, it works with 1.3.3, but fails with 1.3.4.

That must be an 1.3.4-specific problem. Try 1.3.3 and report me back guys!

trackah123 · 08 January 2007, 23:15

hmm interesting

Retro-Nerd · 08 January 2007, 23:34

It works for me sporadic in 1.3.3. After saving over my 1.3.4 amiga500.uae config twice it works. But when i quit & restart WinUAE it doesn't work again.

Toni, can you explain what "drive_spind" and "drive_spinnd" does? (d=dos , nd=nondos? any difference)
are there any more drivetypes" ?

in my soundpackage i only used "snatch,startup,click,spin"

couldnt find these other drivetypes in the winuae readme.txt file either

ive put 2 files here for sound comparison.. 1 is the real a500 drivesound, 2nd is the winuae drivesound using my drivesoundpackage from the real a500

Hello all... I've taken a look at the new samples, nice clean samples... mmmm

In order for the clicks to work correctly (currently WinUAE is only using the first click) each tracks "click" needs a high value sample (above 0xe000 I think, I usually use 0xffff) sample value just before the "click"...

(amping the sample by 300% as a quick hack does the trick, and lets WinUAE use all the clicks, which does sound awsome...)

I've put the amp'd samples here, for anyone to try.. (extract the files into your uae_data folder)

(A demo of the new sounds is [ Show youtube player ], hmm... can we embed objects in posts? cant seem to embed the video directly... oh well click the link to show it in youtube...)

trackah123 · 10 January 2007, 17:33

server down

when i was on 50% download

Chipmunk_UK_1 · 10 January 2007, 17:38

Sorry... damn server needs to be rebuilt with new hardware... the network card keeps disabling itself...

Try the link again now, it should be up again...

trackah123 · 10 January 2007, 18:32

sorry happened again

..

btw i wanna ask something.. its off-topic but maybe someone knows..

im currently working on a orchestral/movietheme like remix of the pinball fantasies intro tune.. is that allowed to post here.. if so at which section can i post my song here.. i would like some feedback on the song

Chipmunk_UK_1 · 10 January 2007, 19:06

Ugh...

I've put them in the zone..

I've gotta try a new network card in that server when I get a chance...

trackah123 · 11 January 2007, 01:09

maybe im crazy

but i downloaded them from the zone.. and they sound exactly the same (not amped).. are you sure you didnt upload the wrong ones by accident chipmunk?

i amped the click sound by 300% myself.. it sounds fun on the heavy loading parts

lol you should try rock n roll game once

trackah123 · 11 January 2007, 10:50

ok i lost floppydrive sound now in WinUAE 1.3.4 after i uninstalled my amd dual core driver and after removing a amd dual core switch in the boot.ini file of windows xp /usepmtimer

tried reinstalling the driver.. but still no sound

i see 1 difference when i compare my working winuaelog.txt and the not working winuaelog.txt

13-640: SOUND: 5100 = (5292 - 192) <-- floppysound working
20-484: SOUND: 5124 = (5292 - 168) <-- floppysound not working

winuae 1.3.3 works fine with floppysound.. i must have triggered something in 1.3.4 so that the floppysound stopped working and i have no idea how i triggered it

anyway i recorded that rocknroll game (loading sound) with winuae 1.3.3 and yeah the drive is rocking all right

http://www.xtremesr.com/trackah123/rocknroll.mp3

i used to play this game at a friends house in the past.. but his dad never let me because he was to afraid his floppydrive would die because of the insane loading sound coming thru that room

Toni Wilen · 11 January 2007, 12:32

You are jumping to conclusions. I repeat: drive sounds are mixed with paula audio in software. If you hear paula audio you can also hear floppy sounds.

ALWAYS check the log first

btw, I don't recommend removing /pmtimer switch, it can cause timing issues (there are some MS knowledgebase articles about it)

spin = motor sound with disk
spinnd = motor sound without disk
(only click is mandatory sound)

trackah123 · 11 January 2007, 12:45

well i didnt want to jump to any conclusions..
its just that 1.3.4 stopped working with floppysound and 1.3.3 works with floppysound..

here are the logfiles of 1.3.3 / 1.3.4

http://www.xtremesr.com/trackah123/133winuaebootlog.txt
http://www.xtremesr.com/trackah123/133winuaelog.txt
http://www.xtremesr.com/trackah123/134winuaebootlog.txt
http://www.xtremesr.com/trackah123/134winuaelog.txt

btw the built-in floppysound of 1.3.4 still works. but when i select my soundpackage or another one like LOUD or ST .. it automaticly jumps back to "no sound" .. while ingame sound (gamesound etc) works fine in 1.3.4 .. in 1.3.3 everything works without any problems.

Chipmunk_UK_1 · 13 January 2007, 17:35

@trackah123
You're right.. I uploaded the wrong zip file... doh! I've re-uploaded the correct one to the zone...

05 May 2015, 16:04

I know it's really bad form to bump a thread this old, but has anyone got a link to these drive sound files or could upload them somewhere please? The original links are long dead. Really desperate to get hold of these.

Nice one.

Thalion · 05 May 2015, 17:51

You can download drive sounds directly from winuae.net

05 May 2015, 17:57

I know. I've got those ones. It was these sounds in particular I was interested in after hearing the demo on YouTube. The sounds I've already got don't sound like my old A500.
