Ps2sP - Playstation 2 Sound Plugin

**Kanodin** · February 29th, 2004

I know I have been pretty tight lipped about sound plugins and everything but after some new developers were added we rewrote the code and gave the sound plugin a new name Ps2sP, We have been working pretty much non stop on this code, Elly, Zenogais and myself, we're a day or two away from going into beta as for this being open source we have decided against it for now also please do not request to be a tester, testers have been chosen based on testing exp and the fact that they were also beta testers for pcsx2. Anyway enjoy the pictures that have been included of Ps2sP. I'm sure you will notice by the pictures you see the code is 99.9% completed does this mean it will play sounds like they're supposed to be played? maybe, maybe not there are still alot of things that do need to be implemented and certain bugs that will need fixing but we will get it working properly.

Ps2sP was formerly known as PS2DXA for those wondering.

We'll release the plugin as soon as we correct most bugs and get sound actually sounding decent enough. thanks for all the praise.

l3illyl3ob · February 29th, 2004

nice, actual sound in ps2 emulation

. Although wont it be a bit hard to find all the bugs when the rest of the hardware emulation is rather incomplete?

**zenogais** · March 1st, 2004

We'll do our best.

Well thats why, we'll have to continiously update as the HW emulation progresses and becomes more complete. right now we're just trying to get sound from out of the bios and with sound it will allow more HW progression as well as a few more games to show something.

Great work guys, i think it's safe to say everyone is looking forward to hearing music ingame! haha

i'd expect this plugin to drop fps in emulater alot. but we won't know the full damage until more games work.

I don't believe it will be a significant drop in fps maybe 1 or 2 fps at most if that, then again until we have the sound code fully implemented we wont know, but don't expect too big a drop. I can just hear the sighs of relief

Ory, Don't understand your question are you asking what will be heard under 10 FPS? probably alot of choppy sound but being we probably aren't releasing the plugin to the public until pcsx2 0.7 comes out, yes I know thats a while but it takes time to get the plugin fully functional. when 0.7 comes out I suppose this is just a guess, that FPS will be at a steady 20-35fps which will allow the sound to act a little better if you're interested in hearing what sound will play like below 10 FPS set epsxe or something similar to 10 fps and listen to the sound plugin.

will the frame rate affect the speed of the sound or does it play sounds according to the frame rate. im asking what it does now not wat it will do

It plays sounds according to the framerate, so sound will initially not play at full speed.
