Ask HN: What's up with retro sound chip programming?
In recent threads[0][1], there has been expressed interest in retro sound chip programming. Why are people attracted to these rather than MIDI or other alternatives? Is there a scene for this sort of work? Where did it start?

- orionblastar 10y agoThere exists people who think that if they program a demo for an old system like a Commodore 64 using the Sid chip to generate a song that it is something that hasn't been done before and pushes the C64 to its limits to show that it still has use and potential in modern times.
