What I'm listening to today: "Wonder Panorama", Ippo Yamada (Dual YM2612 remix by rigid_atoms)
This is emulation. But I want you to imagine a monstrosity: Someone disassembles two Sega Genesis units, removes the sound chips, wires them to a breadboard and commands them to play at once. And then arranges a song from "Mega Man ZX" for it. This arrangement has an impossible-feeling sparkle to it. The millennial brain knows, at a deep level, a Genesis can't make this sound.
