[sdiy] Re: Question for SN76477 / Darkstar owners - the sound?

>Looking at the docs for the SN76477 and knowing it's been used in some of my
favorite arcade games would suggest that it's much more powerful. Weirdness
and a sid-chip quality sound are good! I'm just a little concerned after
hearing these particular samples. If they suggest the limits of what the
SN76477 / Darkstar then that's bad.

    I'm also a HUGE fan of the SN76477 chip and to be honest, the Darkstar
doesnt really go any further than those sound samples. I'm disappointed with
mine. I also believe that the chip itself is capable of much more than what
is available in the Darkstar, unfortunately the Darkstar doesnt seem to
harness much of its power. It certainly doesnt sound as good as the video
games that used the chip.
