An Amiga Protracker music module I wrote 30 years ago under the guise of BrokenARM Music for a game called !Phaethon on the Acorn Archimedes playing live out of one of my new prototype MODjack hardware Amiga module players in glorious 8-bit audio powered by a single AAA battery.

If someone was to tell me back in 1987, when Karten Obarski released his groundbreaking 4-channel 8-bit sample based Ultimate Soundtracker program for the Amiga, that one day it would be possible to play back my music modules on a single 8-bit embedded processor chip costing $1 running off an AAA battery using a playroutine written in C my jaw would have hit the floor.. but here we are now 37 years later thanks to Jarkko Lempiainen's nifty embedded playroutine and a world full of remarkably inexpensive little processors.

This is literally nothing but an 8-bit ATmega328P running at 16MHz and a bunch of resistors making up a 1R-2R DAC powered by an AAA battery from a high-frequency DC-DC convertor.. and it doesn't even sound at all bad.. TBH I'm pretty surprised.

The only downside is that the ATmega328P only has 32K of FLASH so you have to be a bit selective with the modules you can run on this thing..

I keep grabbing these things as convenient audio test sources so one day I might re-develop this concept for a wider audience using one of the new high performance embedded ARM processors.
