Custom Chip Making

[Degamisu]

I am creating a fantasy console, but I need some app to emulate this chip. I thought, Furnace already has settings for supported chips, like the SNES's echo and linear interpolation, I was thinking there could be some wizard that would allow you to choose how many channels and what they do, the special effects (could be predefined or ripped from other chips) and sound interpolation. This would help with game development and even sharing the custom chips in the community!

I think that would be WAY too hard.

You can take whatever channels from whatever soundchip you want and hide the ones that you don't. This has been asked before. It's not happening in the way you want it to

I wish you could "make" your own, but for now, most of the custom chips I desire to make, are some sort of PSG. So I typically just use the TSU or PC Engine to get what I want.

Imposing your own limitations with specific chips can yield fun results. You could use OPL3 for PSG-like sounds if you wanted

This is one of the things i had in mind

I personally wanted a chip like if you blended the NES 2a03 & the C64 SID 6581 or 8580.

4 channels, 1st Pulse, 2nd Saw, 3rd Triangle, 4th Noise. I want multiple levels of the duty cycle, maybe something like the VRC6.

The first 2 channels would use the TSU chip, and the other 2 would use the PC Engine chip (mainly bc I like it's Triangle and Noise better tbh).

In that case, I believe you could be the wizard.
The first step is to clone the source code and add your own chip in src/engine/platform/ (including necessary definitions in sysDef.cpp and all).

Ill take a look! I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing, is there some sort of code documentation in this repo?
