the header is as follows :-
dw length_of_block,transfer_address
db start_of_data
.....
db end_of_data
this is repeated for however many blocks u wanna load into the spc(often just
one big block)
then the final header reads:-
dw $0000,program_execution_address
the zero length field tells it to get ready to run the module..

the first byte contains :-
bit 0 - last block of sample
bit 1 - loop block flag
bit 2,3 - the filter number used
bit 4-7 - the range value (only 0-12 used)..
the big question is how is the data compressed - the manual diagram simply
shows the 4 bit data being shifted right by the range number of places, and
then talks of the number being in the range -7 to +8.. I have been simply
dividing the 16 bit numbers down and rounding up where necessary and this
gives a quite accurate conversion, the problem I seem to be having is
generating the range values from the 16 values I have..

I have not had much to do with hbt-fasm so dont really know what is wrong
with it, my own SPC dissassembler has no real super duper i/face, but
it does what I wanted it to.
