After reading over the Wikipedia page on that chip it really does seem like the perfect candidate. Tiny, just enough features to be useful, has a DAC already in it. \o/

My dub station on Pandora is practically the only thing I've listened to for several weeks.

Most likely Nova Scotia.
After looking around some more this project doesn't seem to be as active as I expected.
I just heard about it recently when an Italian developer contacted me about including an Optimus Chad track in his game.

This is a really cool project that I've just become aware of. A free-to-play and net connected arcade cabinet with indie games. Pretty slick idea that I may try and setup for my local university game room.

So if the battery pack isn't working, is the only way to use it with an AC adapter?

Yes. I'm not sure what could be wrong with the battery pack. It's just a case for 8 AA batteries.

I can't guarantee that I will have this working overnight if I was sent a chip...

Ha, it would be crazy to expect it! I just want this idea to be explored since you seem to have a starting point in mind.

Thanks for the offer Lazerbeat, but the YM2164 is less suitable for this than the YM2413 because of its size, and also because requires an additional external digital to analog converter chip. So it wouldn't be practical, if even possible to fit everything needed inside a DMG. YM2413 is smaller (even if more limited) but has everything built in.

I'll gladly snag some off eBay and have them sent to you if you think this project could actually go somewhere. PM your shipping info etc if you're interested.
