I tend to wonder if we'll ever see the day when you can't get a complete C=64; it seems like everybody and their brother is ripping the SID chip out, and discarding the rest. I keep thinking I need to find myself a C=64 system while I still can have one with its audio system intact...Another thing I wonder: Didn't the Sega Genesis (or the Nintendo) have a separate sound chip (I believe the Sega used a Yamaha chip)? I wonder why (almost?) nobody is hacking those?
I dont want to derail much but yes pretty much everything up till the playstaton and FM sound chips (outside of the Apple II) the main thing is not many programmed for them, so unless you want game music rips ... and people do pull them, especially the NES
and YES I need to get a 64 or at least a 128, I had a 128 years ago but I scrapped it for parts (talking 1990's though) kicking myself now.
