Hyper Voice is a headphone-only sample output channel introduced with the WonderSwan Color. It allows converting 8-bit signed and unsigned, mono and stereo samples into 16-bit signed PCM sent directly to the headphone output, after mixing with the traditional four channels.

I/O Ports

Hyper Voice Left Output ($64, $65 write)

Hyper Voice Right Output ($66, $67 write)

15  bit  8  7  bit  0

 ++++-++++--++++-++++- Signed 16-bit sample.

Unlike the Sound sample output registers, these can be written to - allowing for direct 16-bit sample output.

Hyper Voice Input ($69 write)

7  bit  0

++++-++++- Signed 8-bit sample.

Hyper Voice samples are typically written by Sound DMA, but can also be written manually by the user. In the latter case, the "channel mode" setting is ignored - it always behaves as if it were in "stereo" mode, writing one channel after the other in sequence.

  ++------------------ Channel mode:
                         0 = Stereo
                         1 = Mono, left channel only
                         2 = Mono, right channel only
                         3 = Mono, both channels

Internally, 8-bit values of the form Vvvv vvvv are transformed to signed 16-bit samples based on the scaling mode as follows, where V represents the highest, 7th bit of the input value:

Sample scaling mode Bit representation
Unsigned 000 Vvvv vvvv 0000 0000
Unsigned, negated 111 Vvvv vvvv 0000 0000
Signed VVV Vvvv vvvv 0000 0000
Ignored ___ Vvvv vvvv 0000 0000

With the exception of the Ignored mode, the resulting value is shifted right by Shift bits, and the result's bottom 16 bits are used as the sample.
