Found this on FB Marketplace for $230 and asked $190 and seller accepted. Everything was dusty (a reason why I asked les) including the box but wiped it down some. The handheld is charging so hope it's going to power on soon so I can try it out!

Question How does the Z80, with only 2KB of RAM, manage to handle all the sound for the NeoGeo?

9 Upvotes

I know the Neo Geo has incredible sound, thanks to the YM2610. But I didn't realize the Z80 controlling that chip has only 2KB of RAM! I was already impressed by the fact that it uses a Z80, but even more so now, considering the tiny amount of RAM. But how is that possible? Does the Z80 have to store and load audio samples onto the chip? Or does it just modify registers (like volume, pitch, etc.)? How exactly does this sound CPU system work?

Did Golden Axe for the Neo get taken down? I was over at the link over on NGF and when I clicked it wasn't there anymore.

I'm working on a NG hardware project. Anyone in Seattle?

4 Upvotes

Hi there guys,

I'm working on a hardware accessory for the home consoles. I will eventually release the project open source after some testing.

Unfortunately, I have been out of the game for a long time and had no idea flash carts were this expensive. I have a hardware device and a custom test rom, but I don't have the physical HW or the immediate funds to test with.

Is there anyone a bad enough dude in the Seattle area with a flash cart who could help me out with testing?

Edit: I also am working on a CD ISO for my hardware so possibly a CD system might work too. But I have less confidence in the CD version right now.
