			:huh Does anyone have a psy-q kit for the md? or for that matter any other dev kit?

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			i got one for the 32X but i sold it.... the dev kits for MD are hard to find...i don't know why but it seems there are more chance to find one on the UK (the PSY-Q one) and more and more hard with the software!!! how many times did i see someone looking for segaloader and other psyq stuff!? you can find some info on them on the Sega Programming FAQ and some pics on my site... what are you looking for ? a dev kit for your collection or a dev kit to dev on the Genny ? for the second answer, you can do what you want without an official dev kit...use a backup device or the Tototek flash cart! you'll find a lot of docs and software around the net to dev

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 26, 2004
			Reason i ask is that i have the psy-q system with software and doc's. Im looking for some one to guide me in to the dev world. Ive never done programming before. Also from a collecting point of view i am also looking for a sega made dev kit

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			do you have any docs or soft about the music/sound part on the Genny ? it's perhaps actually the most obscur part if you have the psyq then you'll need to code in asm... look for tutorials on 68000 asm for info on the genny dev itself, look on my site (and on the links on my site) and be free to ask any question here!

			I have to documents 1 Psy-Q 2 Genesis Software Dev Manual

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			wow! is it the same doc floating around the net ?

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 26, 2004
			The genny software dev manual? no it appears different to the sega2.doc(i think im new to all this!!) I know both came stright from Psygnosis, the dev manual is a photocopy(working copy?) but shows a stamped serial no. the Psy-Q guide comes in nice binder and is orginal. I also have the orginal Scsi card for the Q system.

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 26, 2004
			Oh just looked thro it i have a Genn sound manual and a Psg manual

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			oh! i see which PSYQ you're talking about the beautiful binder if you have pb, ask here! ps: and be free to share your doc with everyone

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			do you have the demos with your psyq dev kit ? there is a sample with music (or is it with the other kit i know ?)

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 26, 2004
			is the sound and psg manuals rare then? i can try get them on line if needed (these are sega docs Version 2 1991/3/17)

 3 Genesis Sound Manual



4 YM2612 Application Manual



5 PSG Manual

ARGGGGGg!!! :bow

i'll kill for this!!

and as i said, i know some people who can kill for your floppy

do you think it's possible to scan it ? or even better PDF it ?

it could be a cool thing to PDF all your doc and share them (i can put them on my site if needed)

i perhaps ask a lot, sorry if so...

all i can do is help you on Genny dev...or ask some people about problem you may have with you psyq

about the hard, is you SCSI card different of the Saturn one... (scroll down) ?

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 26, 2004
			I have no means of pdf ing it will look at scanning it in. Im glad to help im gettin giddy over it!!! :lol: No looks the same just differrant numbers on the chips id say its a standard card (but cleaner! )

		Kaneda		Feb 26, 2004
			if you can scan it, i'll pdf it...no problem... welcome in the dev world!! contact me when you have some "hello world" tests roms

		RedAngel		Feb 27, 2004
			Those sound documents will help a lot to genesis dev. Considering that you have to know a lot to make good sound with a fm chip it is essential to have a lot of information. I read some time ago that Jesper Kyd (music of Pro Moves Soccer, Subterrania, Red Zone and Batman and Robin) programmed an alternative sound driver that omits samples but produces high quality fm sound. Maybe, someone could ask him something about that.

		Kaneda		Feb 27, 2004
			in fact my problem is more on writing FM patches... i already have the music driver ready but my patches are bad... (look at the end of my ooga booga demo..it's ugly!!)

		Respectible Face of Engineering		Feb 27, 2004
			Im guess these docs i have are needed urgently

		Kaneda		Feb 27, 2004
			not urgently.... +2years i'm on Music side so some weeks or months more won't kill me :bounce and perhaps these docs won't help me...
