What's New in S98Player for iPhone
2.2
August 11, 2026
Two new options under Sound Emulation. • External DAC simulation On real hardware, FM sound leaves the chip and passes through a floating-point DAC before you hear it. This reproduces that conversion exactly as the datasheets specify — YM3016 for OPNA, YM3012 for OPM, YM3014B for OPN. • Output stage Reproduces the board's analog circuitry after the DAC, in three levels. Adds the high-frequency roll-off and the distortion the volume control circuit introduces. Both are off by default. Turn them on in Settings. OPN (YM2203) tracks are now played on an actual YM2203 instead of being substituted with an OPNA. Fixes • Playback could remain in Control Center after stopping. • Playback state could fall out of sync after an interruption such as a call.
