Limits of the AGI Sound Format

by Nick Sonneveld

Last Updated 4th March, 2002

 

The AGI sound format is modeled around the PCjr's sound chip:

  • Three voice channels
  • One noise channel
  • Define frequencies between the range of 110Hz to 111860Hz
  • Noise channel has 3 different frequencies.
  • The AGI interpreter has a very limited memory space.
  • PC interpreter plays the first channel and ignores the rest.
  • Sound resources cannot be discarded without calling a new room in the PC interpreter.
