Summary 09561: spcforce: Sound is too high-pitched, sound CPU clock possibly incorrect
Description PCB footage:


I heard from jadsi that the SN76496s should be clocked at 768 kHz and the 8035 should be clocked at 3.072 MHz, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I don't know who that is, but ok, credit for fix goes to jadsi.

Just someone I know on Discord. The pitch is definitely more accurate after the fix, but it seems like the fire sound is still hanging or sustaining sometimes. jadsi had this to say: "I know the 8035 controls how fast the non-60 hz sounds play, and it seemed to be twice as fast as the speed it was meant to be"

He also said he doubts the 8085A is clocked quite as high as 16MHz, so take that how you will.

8085A was rated for an X1 input of up to 6.25 MHz (CLK output is half that frequency); 6.144 MHz was very commonly used and is the only XTAL on the Space Force PCB. 8085A-2 could take a 10 MHz XTAL.

I already removed the 16mhz overclock in that same commit.
