In my opinion it's generally better to buy a flashcart and use a player to play the music. It probably costs only slightly more and you get the added benefit of being able to play other roms on the system. The type of set up in your picture works with the YM chips because they're all so similar. Other chips might not be compatible because of different form factors/setups. eg: I fucking dare you to put a SID6581 in a C64 board meant for the 8580. (please don't because it will destroy the SID and they're getting really hard to find).

I know of a few live performance roms for the genesis that can be used with a MIDI controller but I don't know them off the top of my head.

But that's not even a Yamaha chip like all those listed! It's a very useful aberration that such a range of devices used yamaha FM chips.

No OPZ listed though, that's unfortunate. I think some people would like that because it was used in synthesizer keyboards - popular ones, I'm under the impression. Though there was a keyboard with an OPL2 chip too, but OPZ was early with multiple waveform type FM synth.

No OPL4 either. They presumably didn't make many of those. That's a bit of a limit to "using it as a hardware synth", together with the previous.

But besides that, we're left with, what, the general midi chips, amiga sound system and SNES chip? Those aren't even synthesizer chips! Is the SID even one? It's sort of a PSG, eh?

If China made a MT-32 clone with a butter DAC. I would buy it.

Ah so you're talking about the YM line only. I thought you meant general retro sound chips. Funny thing is the SID was meant to be the first "synth chip" but Jack Tramel trying to push the C64 out quickly meant they had to drop a bunch of stuff though I think it was still going to be a basic waveform synth. The capability to rout external signals to the filters that no one uses on the SID is an artifact of all this.

Well to make up for going off topic here's a C64 expansion cart that uses OPL2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR5RcXSlKNU

Ahem, not the same poster!

this has an snes module on a youtube video but its not listed on their site

Sort of. I have rigs for testing sound chips. They aren't designed specifically to play chiptunes but they can.

Yeah, I'm not a chiptunesfag either. But the ones I know aren't going to drag a x68k around with them to play some music.

Just download game emulation modules for foobar2000 or winamp. The ripped audio in native format can be found extremely easily and it sounds exactly like the real hardware playing back the music.

And for arcade games there is always M1.
