METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRE-CACHING DATA IN AUDIO MEMORY

摘要

A video game system includes an audio digital signal processor, a main memory and an audio memory separate from the main memory and storing audio- related data for processing by the audio digital signal processor. Memory access circuitry reads non-audio-related data stored on a mass storage device and writes the non-audio-related data to the audio memory. The non-audio-related data i s later read from the audio memory and written to the main memory.
