The most important thing to know is that it's not a sound chip generating the sound. It's the CPU. ergo, Gameboy is NOT chipmusic.

It's not a discrete chip on its own, but it is still a programmable sound generator that runs via registers and control lines from the CPU. I think that saying GB music "is NOT chipmusic" is inaccurate.

oh ffs, at this point I'm just gonna wait for the inevitable "Should we call it CPUmusic?" thread...
(seriously though, just to beat the dead horse some more, the CPU is a chip too)
