Hi,

I have included an archive for testing.

The BASIC code Filter conrains some assembler code
which takes the file IN and produces a file OUT
so it is better set te CSD before running it.

The non-recompiling version of RPCEmu produces a file identical
to OUR_REF (te output on my RPC). The recompling version
does not. Since most of the time the filter seems to work fine
in the player that uses it (the sound seems OK), I am wondering
if the small amplitude of the signed 16-bit input samples
combined to the 24-25 bits in size filter parameters
puts them right on the 32-bit boundary and I am wondering
if it is not the 64bit addition part of the SMLAL which
is not emulated correctly (i.e. is the carry transmitted
correctly from the addition of the lower 32-bit registers
To the upper 32-bits?).

Kind Regards,
André
