Hi everybody.

I found an old cell phone wich has a ymu759 chip in it. http://smaf-yamaha.com/what/soundchip_ma2.html.

I read it is very similar to the opl3. it also has 2 and 4 operator voices.

This is a photo of the cell phone, the yamaha chip is there (y759), I had to take the screen away to see it.

So I want to ask, if it would be possible to somehow get the chip out, with all it's connections and use it as a real soundcard in a computer.

The phone is still workig but the screen does not work any more.

Thanks

You would probably need to connect it with drivers, that probably dont exist.

I know, but I think an opl3 driver would work. This chip can also reproduce PCM data, that part would not work, but the fm part is just the same as the opl3, and it could work (i think).
