: It shouldn't be, even with integer arithmetic. I've seen some amazing : things done on an Apple II (or any 6502 based machine), but that is one I : would have to see (and hear) to believe. I don't think there is enough : compute power even on an accelerated 65816.
You may be right, but I did convert one to wav and play that. Maybe I can convert it on the IIgs and then play. : My first Mac laptop was a PowerBook 520c, the 25Mhz 68LC020 was too slow for : displaying jpeg files. It would open them, but at 20-30 seconds per image, : it wasn't really usable. That was partly due the lack of an FPU on the : 68020, but even with an integer algorithm, it would have been questionable : if it could do better than 1-2 seconds. I'm pretty sure a 6502/65816 would : be in a similar situation on MP3's. I've never looked at MP3 decoding, so : I'm willing to be wrong on that. It's a bit different than waves. They are actually more like Midi in that they are digital. Wav's are analog I believe.
