I have written code that emulates SCC or SCC+ on a MoonSound. Jerome
Borsboom has written code that emulates SCC+ on 2 normal SCCs. So there are
enough options to play the original music.
If a reprogramming is done, why not allow the user to select either
original music or re-arranged music?

Another option is to rip GFX directly from CD, by writing the appropriate
converter. If the file format is not too difficult, this will work very well.

Or we could finally make a GFX9000 game...
GFX9000 can display 15bit pictures, which is the highest color depth that
the PSX supports.

Ever heard of the term "cross-development"? The professionals use it all
the time.

Writing a BMP to screen 5 converter is much easier than writing a game like
Snatcher...
