SNES Audio Unit As Stand-Alone Player

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?

No need

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.

I don't know if it was a typo, but that is a PERFECT word for the people I see around here.
