Planet X3 is a real-time strategy game for MS-DOS computers. This game is proposed by The 8-Bit Guy. Actually the music is also worth listening to. So let me analyze the music composition of the SN76489 version. The music of this version shares many similarities with the OPL2 version, such as the use of down glides to simulate drum sounds. Of course, for SN76489, only the software volume envelope can be used. It is worth noting that the lowest bass of SN76489 under 3.57MHZ main clock is only A1, so you can hear a lot of A1/B1 as bass in the music, but the OPL2 version can have a lower pitch. Another point, if you listen carefully, you will find that this group of tracks time-multiplexes the third channel of SN76489 and the noise channel, which is very clever. Some people will say that SN76489 can produce sound from four channels at the same time, but don't forget that if 4 channels are used at the same time, then the noise channel will only have 3 fixed frequencies (and these three frequencies sound rough), but obviously it is not here in this way. At present, there are 3 versions of Planet X3 that can use VGM record: OPL2, SN76489, PC-Speaker. But there is actually a Covox version, because you can use Covox to emulate the SN76489, and the sound sounds very different from the SN76489 version, like the SN76489 with a reduced frequency. Actually Covox can also emulate OPL2, but these two formats can only be recorded in waveform, which doesn't seem to make much sense. Currently I have finished recording OPL2 and SN76489 versions. PC-Speaker version will also be released soon This pack was made using DOSBox 0.74 VGM Mod.
