snes_spc 0.9.0: SNES SPC-700 APU Emulator
-----------------------------------------
This library includes a full SPC emulator and an S-DSP emulator that can
be used on its own. Two S-DSP emulators are available: a highly accurate
one for use in a SNES emulator, and a 3x faster one for use in an SPC
music player or a resource-limited SNES emulator.

* Can be used from C and C++ code
* Full SPC-700 APU emulator with cycle accuracy in most cases
* Loads, plays, and saves SPC music files
* Can save and load exact full emulator state
* DSP voice muting, surround sound disable, and song tempo adjustment
* Uses 7% CPU average on 400 MHz Mac to play an SPC using fast DSP

The accurate DSP emulator is based on past research by others and
hundreds of hours of recent research by me. It passes over a hundred
strenuous timing and behavior validation tests that were also run on the
SNES. As far as I know, it's the first DSP emulator with cycle accuracy,
properly emulating every DSP register and memory access at the exact SPC
cycle it occurs at, whereas previous DSP emulators emulated these only
to the nearest sample (which occurs every 32 clocks).

Getting Started
---------------
Build a program consisting of demo/play_spc.c, demo/demo_util.c,
demo/wave_writer.c, and all source files in snes_spc/. Put an SPC music
file in the same directory and name it "test.spc". Running the program
should generate the recording "out.wav".

Read snes_spc.txt for more information. Post to the discussion forum for
assistance.
