AYM·JS is a sound chip emulator written in JavaScript.
AYM·JS is designed to emulate these venerable and famous sound chips directly in your browser:
- the AY-3-8910 PSG (Programmable Sound Generator)
- the YM2149 SSG (Software-Controlled Sound Generator)
This project respects the KISS principle and is just based on the Hugo static website generator and the make utility.
No node, npm or whatever... Just plain HTML and vanilla JavaScript, FontAwesome and Pico·CSS.
Somme old musics are shipped with this project. These musics are converted from the ym file format to JavaScript with a custom tool written in C++ which will be released later.
Custom playlists and support the ym file format for the player are planned and will be added later to this project.
The source code for the emulator itself is located in the following directory:
The emulator can be used in any project as long as the terms of the GPL-v2 license are respected.
This project requires hugo v0.110.0 or higher and make.
On Linux based systems you just have to install the dependencies with your favorite package manager.
For example:
sudo apt install hugo make
There is a Makefile to do most of the tasks. You just have to type make with the following targets.
The make serve command calls the bin/hugo-serve.sh script in order to starts the builtin webserver.
After running this command, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:1313.
Example:
make serve
The make or make all or make build command calls the bin/hugo-build.sh script in order to build the project.
After running this command, the src/public directory will contain the built project.
Example:
make
or
make all
or
make build
The make clean command calls the bin/hugo-clean.sh script in order to clean the project.
After running this command, the src/public directory will be fully cleaned.
Example:
make clean
The make deploy command calls the bin/hugo-deploy.sh script in order to deploy the project on your server.
After running this command, the project will be available on your server.
Example:
make deploy
