Language 6502 Assembly

Noboru Koshinaka is an unofficial name of the sound driver used in the NES games developed by Daiei Seisakusho. It was programmed by Noboru Koshinaka, who also composed the music to their games.

Release History

Koshinaka's driver was mostly used in Japan only. However, Toki and Operation Wolf were also released in North America (Operation Wolf also got a release in Europe.) In total, the driver was used in seven games. The first game to use the driver was Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh, and the last game that used it was Toki.

Output

The sound driver outputs to the RP2A03 in North America and Japan and RP2A07 in Europe. Later versions of the sound driver use the DPCM for percussion effects. The Famicom Disk System games that used the driver, like many, failed to take advantage of the FDS's RP2C33.
