I know this is very far out there, but very plausible. I was watching TV last night and a thought occurred to me. Old 80's coin-op rides quite often used the same hardware that the arcades used in their games. Example: This one uses an AY-3-8910. So couldn't we, in theory, make VGMs of this sort of thing as well?
I know this probably isn't the place for this, but it's just a very interesting idea.
Interesting thought I just had...
VGMs from Non-Games?
Technical discussion about the VGM format, and all the software you need to handle VGM files.

If memory serves, there was a pinball emulator of sorts in the vein of MAME. (PinMAME?)

OOH! That reminds me: Would there be a way to add the HC55516 to the list of emulated chips in the VGM format in the future? The vocals in Black Knight 2000, after all, were encoded using CVSD, and I KNOW it ain't an OKI doing the job, or we'd hear more than one channel of digital audio! (Yes, I know, there are digital drums, but that'd require a DAC...)
Until next post...
