Why?
While having fun writing a YM7 format player on embeded device, I started to re-write my 30 years old ym2149 emulation (StSound). The new emulation is more accurate and source code is really simple. To be able to properly test new emulatior (ym2149, mfp & STE DAC), I wrote a SNDH player (using great Musashi 68k emulator) to listen to thousands of SNDH files from sndh.atari.org. You can use this library to play SNDH in your own player. Everything is in AtariAudio/ directory
Drop single large ZIP file and enjoy
Just drop the latest 100MiB SNDH ZIP archive file downloaded from awesome SNDH-YM2149 Archive website and start to browse & play!
You can watch a running example here!
How to build
This repo comes with a pre-build player (look at the GitHub Release section) but you can also compile the executable by your own. Easy way is to have a windows system, download latest "Visual Studio 2022 community" (it's free & awesome) and open SndhArchivePlayer.sln
If you're still stuck in past century you can also create a makefile by yourself :)
Enjoy!
