===PlayCity: Partially compatible===
Contrarily to Unlike the [[PlayCity]], the Play2CPC is not equipped with a Z80 Counter Timer Circuit chip. The Play2CPC use the default configuration of most of the PlayCity programs, like ALCON 2020.
Sound capabilities are also quite different. The Play2CPC is equipped with an obscure soundchip, the OPN3 (ymf288). It offers 3 SSG chans, 6 FM 4-op chans and 6 digidrum chans.
The PlayCity is instead equipped with 2 SSG soundchips offering a total of 6 SSG chans, but no FM and no digidrum chans.
So the few PlayCity programs using 9ch AY will be not replayed by the Play2CPC.
* Port &F888: read/write to the selected register
You can also use the CRTC cursor registers to program the raster interruption ([[NMI]]) located at &0066.
The OPN3 soundchip is a light version of the OPNA soundchip with some functionalities removed: no external ADPCM, no Composite Sine Mode and no GPIO.
