Snatcher is known to be broken, anyone is welcome to try to fix it. I certainly have no idea what's wrong.

Oh that's too bad, it's one of my favourites soundtracks! Thanks

Maybe it's an issue with the bundled M3U playlist as well? Have you tried playing it without the playlist to see if there are any playable tracks somewhere in there?

Hi, GEP Plugin has started to play .ay files (I would say not all of them, but now I'm not really sure) with the pitch raised exactly one octave.
I can't say which version started showing this behavior, but it was some weeks ago (maybe 2-3 months?) Right now I'm using version 1.160 (under OSX with "wine" at work, "pure" version under windows xp at home, etc...)
My foobar version is 1.2.1 All other pitches under foobar with other plugins and audio files are 100% correct... But not .ay files with GEP.
Known fact? Is there some extra setting somewhere to fix it manually?

Greetings!

Hi, some more investigation with Vortex Player II has lead me to (I don't know if correct) conclusions. Apparently, VT-II has some internal emulation parameters which lead me to the correct pitch. Look:

http://friguron.dyndns.org/misc/vt_II_params.png

-Many .ay files I was correctly playing with GEP some months/versions ago, were spectrum/pentagon .ay files (if such distinction can be made for .ay files).
-These .ay files are the ones which have started to sound wrongly pitched inside GEP.
-If I change VT-II chip frequency from 1.7 to 3.5 Mhz, then pitch from .stc files (the ones VT-II play) sounds doubled (like in GEP !)

So is it ok to think that the internal frequency of the emulated AY-3-8910 chip controls the pitch??

Is pitch for .ay files inside GEP controlled by the "AY-3-8910" emulated chip frequency? If so, is it locked on 3.5 Mhz ?

Am I completely wrong?

When playing rip from "3 Ninjas Kick Back" ( http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profil...&selected=5 ), there are audible clicks (especially noticeable on tracks "Secret Cave" and "The Hospital"). Can this be foo_gep fault or this is just bad rip?
When playing with foo_snesapu these clicks are not present (or at least not audible).

Been using this since April 2012 (probably before) and i have been using it to work and toy with songs a lot (you may have heard anything of mine, under the name ZanaGB or MacWii at YT) Anyway. I found this player perfect for 2 essential features. Channel Muting, and Playback Speed alteration.

Those 2 features broke on the first 2013 update... For the VGM playback, at least. Please. Revert the VGM playback system to however it was before the January update.

You know, when you could change between songs without crashing, or slowing down the playback speed withoug the music getting horridly wrong, before crashing as well. and when you could also SIMPLY export any VGM into a wav and it would sound NICE, not like if it came from hell.

SPC playback seems to work fine. so you somehow screwed it up with VGM.

I hope this gets fixed soon.

Attently. a quite enraged user that considered GEP perfect for 10 months until you somehow went backwards with this update.

I hope a crash dump can somewhat be useful:

Post large items within codeboxes, not between code tags. And ask yourself whether it is a good tactic to rant insultingly at the developer from whom you are requesting something as if he implemented a regression not only on purpose but also to annoy you personally.

Sounds fine to me. Can you confirm in bsnes or on actual hardware?

EDIT: VGM tempo "fix" disabled, until I can do something better instead.

Am I completely wrong?

Please forward any AY files which were affected incorrectly by this change, and try to confirm with another AY player. The changes I made corrected the pitch of several VGM rips, and appeared to have no effect on the few AY files I tested and had some frame of reference of how they sounded before the change.

Depends on the developer. I for one, work much better on hostility.

Well, Today's fix seems to work fine. Exports fine, and playback seems to be flawless again (not experienced that it crashes anymore when switching between songs on a playlist)

And. I was trully annoyed, for having updated, and finding that some things that worked fine. did not work anymore.

Thankfully, this was a quite quick fix. to be honest.

I am sorry for being quite harsh. but, well... yeah, it was an angering regression

Great! As you can see, kode54 is a very fast developer and always pays attention to requests! I’m definitely glad that you reported it and that doing so paid off, and I understand that you were annoyed, but it’s best to understand that mistakes can happen unnoticed even to the best developers and consider your posts accordingly.

Of course, maybe be a bit more aggressive if you ever talk to mudlord, apparently.

In fact, I've tried to narrow down my .ay files to see what happens, and the only ones keeping their pitch intact are "monochannel/beeper" ones. The big majority, (several hundreds), all being "melodic"-AY files (3 channels square waves), sound exactly one octave up with GEP. I don't know if you want me to send any of them to you... I suppose not. BTW:
ZX Spectrum Sound Chip Emulator plays all of them correctly. As well as old versions of GEP (as far as I remember, it's only been 2 months or so the moment I noticed the change in GEP...)

Maybe I missconfigured something inside GEP? I can't remember having done it... There aren't many internal parameters to mess around...

Greetings...

I definitely broke it in the process of fixing something else. I'll just have to fix it a different way.

EDIT: Fixed, I think.

Yes you did! Version 1.162 plays perfectly pitched .ay files again!!

(I have not read the entire thread, so if this problem has been solved on one of the past pages, forgive me for not reading the solution)
For some reason, playback of supported files is slowed by about 50%. Here's one of the files I've been trying to play: http://www.shauninman.com/noisees/albums/A...20Densetsu.nsfe
Of course, foobar's conversion feature is affected as well, here's how it sounds on my computer: http://i.peterwunder.de/vampirekiller.mp3
Is that a bug in GEP or something I may accidentally have set somewhere?

Edit: I've had this problem in a past version of GEP (though I forgot which one exactly), but it persisted after updating to yesterday's latest version. No idea whether that bit of info helps.
Edit²: And also, I'm on Windows 8 Pro x64, using foobar 1.1.16.

Never mind, appearently I set the Tempo slider in the View > GEP control window to 75% some time ago. Shame on me. :<

Mmpf... I would say it's not working 100%. Or maybe GEP never did... As far as I can remember, there were some .ay files sounding OK in the past, which sound strage now (1.162).
For example this file I'm attaching here, sounds 100% ok with ZX Spectrum Sound Chip Emulator: http://friguron.dyndns.org/misc/gep/Plotting.ay

With GEP, it sounds "muffed", with every noted played with a quick attack, and then a still quicker decay...

Never mind. A simple reinstall and deletion of configuration files fixed it.

RSN files require the normal Archive Reader component, or foo_unpack, in addition to foo_gep.

Plotting.ay still plays wrongly with GEP version 1.163... Known fact?

When opening the Fortress of Fear GBS, only the first subsong(?) is played, even though there are several others in the file.
I used this one. Is there a way to fix that?


SIGH, disregard this. I don't know how, but after restarting foobar and opening the file again, it worked. Stupid me.

Hey, I'm really digging this plugin, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one out there who likes how NotSoFatso played nsf / nsfe files in stereo. I know that is not how the original NES was, but I still like the idea and got hooked on it. I'm not sure, but I think it just separated the channels of the NSF so that some went to left and some went to right. Is there any way that that feature could be added to this plugin? Basically, it's the only thing that I use Winamp for anymore, which is sad cause I love Winamp, but it's almost time for me to let it go
