Typically that meant "watching" the byte that went to the sound port and clarifying the meaning of this byte: a control byte, a specific sound, a talking sound, a looped sound, a musical note or phrase, a looped musical phrase, a STOP byte, a PLAY byte. I also wrote some assembly code to patch into the ROM of the old arcade game and create a user interface with the controllers for the sound people in California. I cut into the ROM after the boot up procedure, and wrote routines to go through sounds 1-255 giving the user control over which sound to play. The engineers in California would then record the sounds from the original arcade machine, and then send me back the .wav files which I would then tweak, and compress to make them usable for the XBOX and Playstation. Sound Programming Prior to Digital Eclipse I programmed the APPLE II+ to create sounds, all of this was my own original programming. I wrote sound effects and PLAY music routines. I did the same thing with the IBM PC. Both of these jobs were done in Assembler, 6502 for the Apple, and 8088,80286,80386 for the PC.
