PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16
a console from NEC that, depending on a region:
- attempted to enter the fierce battle between Nintendo and Sega, but because its capabilities are a mix of third and fourth generation, it failed to last long (US and Europe), or
- was Nintendo's most fearsome rival, completely defeating Sega Mega Drive and defending itself against Super Famicom (Japan).
it has 6 wavetable channels and the last two ones also double as noise channels. furthermore, it has some PCM and LFO!

chip config
the following options are available in the Chip Manager window:
- Pseudo-PAL: run the chip on a PAL clock. such a configuration has (probably) never existed, despite a planned official PAL version of the PC Engine.
- Disable anti-click: waveform switching requires a phase reset, which may cause clicks. Furnace uses a wave-position predicting algorithm to minimize these clicks. check this option to disable the feature.
- Chip revision: sets the chip revision. HuC6280A has less pops.
