Quick demo of sound output working on an otherwise 512k STFM with DSTB1 at 16MHz with 8MB AltRAM.
I had to hack FrontBench to locate screen RAM in the bottom 512k of ST-RAM. Consequently it won't run if AltRAM is unavailable.
Just a demo as sound output on pre-STE machines has been an issue.

![[B-Roll] Investigating DSTB1 AltRAM issues on the STFM
Introducing the B-Roll series.
Ive not a lot of time of late to work on any projects and to produce videos, so to keep in touch Ive started a new series of non-narrative videos that Im going to call B-Roll.
This is the sort of thing larger channels would have a second channel for. Less edited, less produced, probably no conclusion. More behind-the-scenes, stream of conciousness type output to show what Im working on and how without necessarily telling a story.
Feel free to go big on the thumbs down if this is not something you want more of, else expect more of these than main videos for the time being.
~~~
Today Im trying to work out whats wrong with my DSTB1. Im working on a new SDRAM driver in the firmware and getting nowhere. I then realise my booster seems to be unpredictably unreliable in release configuration having worked beautifully in the past.
What gives?
