New FPGA SCC chip compatible with Konami cartridges

No more need to cannibalize SCC chips and resistor arrays from Konami SCC cartridges! Two Korean developers, gomwing and Megaminx, created a new SCC chip which is based on FPGA. It supports perfect pin-to-pin compatibility with Konami's original SCC chips and SCC cartridges, and includes a resistor array (D/A convertor). This chip also provides the improved sound quality which is almost identical to that of the original SCC. You check a sound fragment here); it's hard to distinguish between the original and their SCC chip sound.

This chip can be used to make MMC/SD cartridges that require an original SCC chip and resistor array, or users can make their own SCC+ cartridge with this. Megaminx is also developing a cartridge PCB to enable users to make their own cartridge with this chip.

More information can be found on their blog (in Korean).
