Seriously, holy shit: https://youtu.be/dIqkZ9kAeHsWow, I'm not familiar with the PSG or really most of those game sound tracks, but that combo does sound fantastic!
So, I'm trying to understand your setup. Going by the picture you have a CHiLL from Serda with a BeepBlaster attached to it, plugged into a PC via MIDI... and I'm assuming you have another synth playing the PSG music at the same time and they are mixed together in real time? Or did you play the music twice, once with each synth, and then overlay them afterward in software?
To do this I use an MSX computer equipped with a MIDI-PAC2 cartridge. I use VGMPlay (MSX version) to play PSG VGM files. VGMPlay plays the music on the internal AY chip. At the same time, MIDI-PAC2 cartridge reads OPLL and PSG data and outputs MIDI data in real time. This output goes to the Chill 3 with BeepBlaster. Basically all I have to do is play a VGM file on MSX and mix both outputs.
Afaik, MSX is the only computer that can do this live.
