opl3-rs

A small library to provide bindings for the Nuked-OPL3 library.

Usage

Nuked-OPL3 is not a turn-key implementation of the OPL3 chip - functions such as the status register, timers and interrupts are left as implementation details.

You can access the Nuked-OPL3 API via the Opl3Chip struct, if needed, but with the caveat that directly writing registers to Nuked-OPL3 will prevent you from reading the OPL registers correctly.

If you intend to utilize opl3-rs in an emulator, you will probably want to use the Opl3Device wrapper which provides a full, device-oriented OPL3 implementation including the status, address and data registers, plus the OPL3 timers.

Examples

An example of music playback is provided in the play_tune directory under /examples. This example uses the rodio library for audio playback and crossbeam channels for inter-thread communication.

opl3-rs was primarily built for use with the MartyPC PC emulator. It is used to implement an AdLib Music Card device.
