Tweets with updates:

More sound features are implemented to the #MiSTerFPGA PSX core. SPU is about 60% complete now. If you like, enjoy some Metal Gear cutscenes including full music, sound and speech. pic.twitter.com/itnqYtVq48

6 weeks ago, I told you to stay a while and listen. Today I mean it 🙂 SPU is now feature complete on the #MiSTerFPGA PSX core. Work on the single SDRAM version will start soon. pic.twitter.com/GyzVDcOZdh

#MiSTerFPGA PSX core can do SPU audio with a single SDRAM now. It's still in the works and will be improved in the next days, but should be good in most cases. Download can be found for example in MiSTer Discord: https://t.co/UGKlP4jBmd
