MOMNZ Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 Hi, I found these chips. https://www.ebay.de/itm/1PCS-IC-YAMAHA-SOP-16-YAC512-M-1PCS-YAMAHA-SOP-24-YMF262-M-1-pairs/362255972114?hash=item5458237712:g:U78AAOSwpP9Y5gDE https://www.ebay.de/itm/5pair-YMF262-M-YAC512-M-YMF262-YAC512-5pcs-YMF262-M-5pcs-YAC512-M/181331807932?hash=item2a3837cebc:g:FMEAAOxy0NtTCX5e Are they real/good? What do you think? I can't imagine they are. Cheers, Mo Quote
Hawkeye Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 Hi and welcome to MIDIbox! :) I'd say there is a 50:50 chance, that they are original and will work. That ebay seller in german ebay seems to generally have quite positive feedback, but there are also some "fake component" comments. How it could work from their side is that they pulled/desoldered the chips from old hardware, i.e. old sound cards. That's also what i would recommend, e.g. get an old soundblaster with the OPL chipset from ebay for cheap and desolder with a heat gun - that way you can be quite sure it is an original! Most of all: have fun! Many greets, Peter Quote
Noise-Generator Posted March 19, 2019 Report Posted March 19, 2019 Try it if you can risk 8$ ;) Quote
MOMNZ Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Posted March 20, 2019 I will try. Sold units of the ymf262 all have positive feedback. The shipping time is just very long. Gonna report about it's functionality here. I actually do have a soundcard with an opl3 chipset (soundblaster 16 value), but the chip itself looks different Quote
Acul Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 Hello. A few years ago I also ordered 10 pieces in china which look exactly like yours. Mine worked great and were without problems to obstruct. best regards Quote
