Title: Need a YM2203
Post by: BMF54123 on September 09, 2005, 05:22:59 PM
I'm looking for a YM2203 FM chip for a Black Tiger arcade board. One of the two chips on my board isn't putting out any PSG sound (the chip has both AY-3-8910 and FM capabilities on board). I know the chip is at fault because there's nothing coming out of the analog pins, yet FM works fine. I've tried several websites and Google searches, with no luck. Does anyone have a chip they'd be willing to sell, perhaps from a dead board?

The chip doesn't appear to be readily available.  I'd suggest your best bet might be buying something else that uses it and removing it for use in your game.  Google has gobs of results when you search for devices that use it.  Some of them should be affordable.

Several Japanese computers use 'em.  They should be really cheap, let me know if you want to try and track one down.

Yes, I would love to track one down, as long as it's cheaper than buying another Black Tiger board. :)
