For a retro music project, I was wanting to get "back to the roots,"
so to speak, by emulating classic video game console sound chipsets.
However, it's proving difficult, as it's hard to find anything that
exactly replicates the conditions of any classic console without
actually being an emulator for that console, and I was hoping to be
able to use higher-level constructs like MIDI to express my music.

Has anybody here done this sort of thing, or have any suggestions? I
know that I could sit down and build a bunch of triangle and saw
waves, but I was kind of hoping that there would be something more
convenient and timely.

Thanks!

Jacob has written some nice instruments that deal with chip sounds, here's one:
