ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

as a whole, no it was not. individual parts were like the CHD code, and those were used in other projects like winUAE an cdiemu
<Lord_Nightmare>
and the voodoo 3d stuff was used by dosbox
<Lord_Nightmare>
a number of projects illegaly used the pre-0.172 jarek fm synth core, dosbox did for a while, and i believe adlplug also did, as did opentyrian
<Lord_Nightmare>
i'm not sure if they've switched to the gplv2 versions except dosbox

CHD code?

Lord_Nightmare: Also, what prevented MAME from being FOSS specifically if you know?

<Lord_Nightmare>
the license from 2003 until 2016 forbade commercial use
<Lord_Nightmare>
the license before 2003 was weird and i think technically assigned copyright to nicola, i'm not really sure

<andlabs>
oh boy MAME licensing
<andlabs>
insert me complaining that the FM emulation was LGPL and should really have been MIT here
<andlabs>
though at this point I don't have the time or energy to care about mega drive emulation anymore, especially since the politics of retro gaming has gone south

and really I just wanted to MIT license a Genesis tracker and VGM player
<Lord_Nightmare>
andlabs: you have to talk to jarek about that. iirc jarek initially said he'd license it bsd, then changed his mind to gplv2 at the last minute
<Lord_Nightmare>
he was the last person we needed to relicense MAME code from iirc
<Lord_Nightmare>
with the more modern work with die tracing of the fm chips, the core he and tatsuyuki(?) worked on is obsolete anyway
<andlabs>
heh
<andlabs>
do we have netlists yet, btw?
<Lord_Nightmare>
not that i know of
<Lord_Nightmare>
well... we have some partial netlists Sarayan did
<Lord_Nightmare>
i don't think they're complete yet
