SNES Audio Unit As Stand-Alone Player

Posted by timothy on from the you-must-stand-alone dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Raphael Assénat successfully turned the SNES' audio processing unit into a stand alone unit which can be controlled through a parallel port, allowing people to play SNES music separate from games and the SNES' main unit. Elsewhere there is also a tutorial about adding S/PDIF digital sound output to the SNES."

    I'm torn though - do I want to listen to Shitty Beep Concerto, or Tinny Licensed Song in G minor

      Dear holy mother of fuck, it's worse than I thought. Depending on which brand of consultant crack you smoke, we live in a world in which Cell phone ringtones are worth between $1B and $3.3B per year.

      Compared to listening to your cow orker's annoying cell phone from six cubicles away, hookin' up a set of headphones to the SNES is a welcome relief.

    In the first 10 posts, the poor SNES/Spdif page is slashdotted... Maybe hosting on his dreamcast might've been a better idea?

    I SO don't need this.

    I got SNES tunes playing in my head since I'm young, and can't seem to stop. Damn you, Final Fantasy!

    (For the curious, I do have voices in my head too, and they're telling me to do nasty stuff. To hurt curious persons. That would be you.)

      Oh I dunno, I enjoy hearing the victory song every time I'm modded funny here. Pumping my hand in the air while I'm work is getting me in trouble, though.

    Coming next from this company is a tiny module that lets you get the blindness and headaches of an Nintendo Virtual Boy without actually having to lug the unit around.

    Wow, I knew the Wierd Al ones were fakes, but the one labeled as SOAD sounds just like the dude.

    Good to know it isn't.
