Sound is made purely with software, this simple demo just generated a square wave tone. A proper sound engine would use PWM and mix together 4-8 channels. You would need to write this in assembly language of course.

[XGSDEV]

Yes, absolutely, someone just needs to write a driver. The A/D is there, PWM hardware, its as simple as playing the samples from the SD or flash out the PWM'ed A/D to speaker. About a good weekend of work --

please i need anything that can help me doing this project using pic16f877

could you please give me the source code of your project !! in .asm please

or any tutorials that can show me exactly how to generate tone using pic16

[Orangeensaft]

WTF!!!!!!!

[estlib]

only one sound channel?

[bogercs]

I wonder if Mario can play Mozart?

@XGSDEV

Im pretty sure the genesis only use FM sound and support one PCM channel.

[DE7ChainedDoor]

In a 16-bit PIC, is it possible to make Genesis-quality sound? I'd like to see DMA samples a la Amiga/Super Nintendo.

Square waves... music to my ears...

piano sound?
