Title: Sound chips in game systems
Post by: tendoboy1984 on June 25, 2014, 12:39:29 AM
Do modern game systems (handheld and console) have dedicated sound chips like the Super NES and SEGA Genesis had?

Sometimes they have co-processors dedicated for sound, but they aren't the same kind of thing where the chip is generating the sound programmatically.

I was going to do the snarky let me google that for you response but as it turns out tendoboy made another topic on this matter on ign and wound up getting an answer right away, therefore nullifying any need for this thread to exist.
