I have noticed that my Yobo FamilClone (part number OT-8008). I have noticed that on some games the music goes a little askew every now and then. For instance, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But two days ago I picked up a copy of Crystalis from a local reseller, and it sounds like absolute dirt. About every other note is *very* flat, turning the music I once loved into non-stop pain.
Does anyone know what causes this? I've read in an old post that there are "duty cycle problems", and something about the duty cycles on the square waves being "swapped", but nothing too specific.
And is there any way I can make my homebrew games sound decent on both the original hardware and these clone systems?
