Hardware VGM Player - RushJet1

The SN76489 PSG (Programmable Sound Generator) chip in action.

music credit - "That Other Final Conflict" by RushJet1

Summary of how it works:

The arduino decodes the VGM File data from a 256K EEPROM according to this documentation:
smspower.org/music/vgmspec150.txt

then sends the register data to either the Genesis YM2612 chip or PSG Chip via shift registers according to this documentation:
smspower.org/maxim/docs/ym2612/
smspower.org/maxim/docs/SN76489.txt

Great. Is the arduino slow or is it supposed to sound like this?

@SLagerZahne my playback code timing was incorrect. I fixed it.
