WTB Audio Chips n163, Sunsoft 5B, VRC 6/7

Hello, I'm looking to build an NSF project and need actual hardware chips. Do you have any lying around? I'd rather buy the chips outright than cannablize a cartridge.

Thank you!

FYI: I don't need to harvest the chips (and I wouldn't recommend anyone do that in 2026, given how rare/expensive these carts are getting).

I am still on the lookout for an authentic Gimmick cart. (No repros, no counterfeits, etc).

[P]

The Yamaha YM2149 used in Gimmick is a very common chip and therefore isn't very expensive. But you need to get it second hand from eBay or somewhere and there is always a chance that it's fake as some brokers relabels chips.

Some chips like VRC 6 are custom however and not found as discrete chips.
