Jepler spent a bunch of time this week working on getting audio working on the pico-umac port https://github.com/jepler/pico-mac/tree/rp2350-fruitjam to Fruit Jam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200 . Audio on the hardware we're emulating is pretty straightforward: every scanline of the video generator also pops out one byte of PWM data. We have 370 horizontal lines—352 visible and 18 during the vsync—and a 60.15 Hz refresh rate for 22.255 KHz audio approximately. That data is written to $1FD00 http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/devel/plushw.php . That data is being piped over I2S to the MAX98357 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3006 and to a speaker for now.

So, of course, the first thing we have to try out is Dark Castle https://archive.org/details/mac_DarkCastle_1_2 : famous for great audio and being a surprisingly hard game to play! The audio sounds really good though :)
