Notes:

  • Those 2 chips were used in bootleg version of Moe Pro! Saikyou-hen Baseball [1], along with pirate VRC4 chip. Original game used Jaleco SS88006 along with D7756C ADPCM Speech Chip [2]
  • Each of those 2 chips contains different set of 8 audio samples, used in game.
  • Vendor logo printed on ICs suggest that the manufacturer was Winbond,
  • Forcing rising edge on one of its D0..D7 inputs enables playback adequate audio sample
  • The output “analog” audio has 32-voltage-levels,
  • Along with the analog audio, there is some digital data transmitted on pins 12/11/10
  • Pin 14 is high for the whole time when D2 audio sample is played,
  • Pin 13 goes high for the last 0.5ms when D2 audio sample is played.
