Release notes
New features
- Added the Nuked OPL3 AdLib emulator as an alternative to DBOPL (selectable in the Sound options). Nuked OPL3 is more accurate but also uses more CPU. The difference in CPU load has little impact on most systems, but it does matter on low-end devices like Raspberry Pi Zero.
- Added a "sound test" button to the Sound options (play a chosen sound effect)
Improvements
- Improved sound effect quality for certain digital sounds (
SB_nn.MNIfiles in VOC format) by using a more accurate ADPCM decoding algorithm (same as DosBox's SoundBlaster emulation).
