Could be. The envelope part of the filter envelope isn't hard (it's quite similar to the existing *EGs) but I have no idea how to apply the results to the sound.

For reference, in the VF3TB/Toy Fighter driver here's what the SH4 writes after downloading it and booting the ARM7. First the init: (keep in mind everything's little endian, so e.g. writing 001100a0 means a0 00 11 00 in memory (command a0, parameter 1=11, parameter2=12).
200 to 50
ffffffff to 60
ffffffff to 64
ffffffff to 68
ffffffff to 6c
ffffffff to 70
ffffffff to 74
ffffffff to 78
ffffffff to 7c
0 to 60
18a0 to 400
4b505444 to 10000
0 to 10004
1 to b0
0 to b0
1 to 64
18a0 to 404
1 to b0
0 to b0
e to 68
18a0 to 408
1 to b0
0 to b0
26 to 78
18a0 to 40c
1 to b0
0 to b0
And here's how it starts 1 song:
001100a0 to 410
011100a0 to 414
021100a0 to 418
071100a0 to 41c
061100a0 to 420
031100a0 to 424
2a to 7c
18a0 to 428
1 to b0
0 to b0
ba8 to 42c
and the second song:
001100a0 to 430
011100a0 to 434
021100a0 to 438
071100a0 to 43c
061100a0 to 440
031100a0 to 444
ffffffff to 7c
18a0 to 448
1 to b0
0 to b0
2b to 7c
18a0 to 44c
1 to b0
0 to b0
ea8 to 450
Based on this I'd gather that 0xa0 is some sort of all-purpose setup and 0xa8 actually plays the sequence.

Wow, SGGG_1KEN_00_00 does sound much better on my AICA. I guess it's not all that bad  There are some old SWI remains in ARM core, not used anymore so it's safe to remove them. If noone feels like it then I'll submit a patch later today - I gotta get some fresh air now (after spending last 24hrs or so in front of my PC) kingshriek, expect more game files coming your way in very near future. Possibly MUCH more

Here's the cleanup. Nothing really important, but it does remove a variable from ARM state structure so make sure to properly recompile all ARM core sources.

Last minute update: DCDSF is now operational. Hooked to my PC via SCART -> Line-in. If anyone wants a tune hardware-checked, drop me a note

How about SOA_303_02_00.minidsf from the Skies of Arcadia rip? (I believe that it is the Sky Pirate Base Theme.) Thanks in advance.

With Audacity help I can produce WAV or MP3 - problem is I can't figure out how to configure it for VBR as opposed to 128kbps CBR...
Anyway, I'll get to it once I'm back home. Where do I upload results? Will rapidshare do?

Done: http://rapidshare.com/files/97782885/soa-303-02-00.mp3.htmlRather than use the built-in function (with only CBR settings available) I run Lame myself with "-q 0 --strictly-enforce-ISO -t --vbr-new -V 0". In other words, it's as good as it gets for MPEG layer 3

Thanks. So it sounds like the DSF set is good, and that it is just the AO support that needs some work.
It seems that the only issue to be corrected in this particular track is the wind sound in the background. The AO output interprets the sound as a sort of cymbal and plays it many times too loud.
Other than that, it sounds great. Thanks for recording the track. I hope that you figure out what the problem is soon.

Yeah, AO sometimes keys on wrong instruments. Happens on srtalpha_MB_EVA_6 too, just before the music goes more lively.
I've checked it agains DKDSF and DC - it doesn't happen there so the AICA ram image is good.
And by the way - where exactly did DSP program word field assignment came from? I've nothing on it (and yet I have my doubts on several things in aicadsp.c).
