YM2149 Sound Card
What an ingenious "tool". I haven't heard these synthetic tones for ages. It sounds like Flynn's arcade, although there was no "music" played. But it feels like that!
The soundcard is delivered without the soundchip (YM2149 / AY-3-8910) but it was no problem for me to get some real old chips from eBay Germany (7 EUR per piece). From the looks I wouldn't have thought that they would still work, but they do very well.
Want some more?
No problem! Simply download the Vortex Tracker II onto your computer and off you go with old PT3 sounds. On zxtunes.com will will find hundreds of tunes.
