about

The Saturn Sound Player consists of 3 parts:

PCM player

To play back multiple PCM type file formats (PCM, AIFF, ADPCM, WAV) at once, from memory (PCM, WAV) or from CD directly (AIF/ADPCM only).

CDDA player

Offers standard CD audio player functionality. Can be played back while PCM player plays files from memory.

3d debug menu

It is activated by holding down START when the Saturn boots up. Allows to manipulate the background 3d model.

missing features / known bugs

avoid selecting repeat for high workRAM sound slot (it may freeze for 20s or even crash)

avoid playing the file slot and a memory slot simultaneously (it'll disable file slot for this run) - wave files in high work RAM memory slot got a glitch at start

CD swap not automatically recognized, need to press rescan manually

may need to rescan swapped CD for PCM player and CDDA player seperately

leaving PCM player when playing the file sound slot makes the sound loop untill returned to the PCM player
