Aparently I just made a rather important discovery about the old (letter-less) RP2A03. Lidnariq (NESDEV guru just confirmed from die shots) essentially the lowest noise period value is different: 2046 instead of the 4068 in later revisions. This might change how certain sound effects sound

With regards to my findings of today, this was exactly it! The original ‘square button’ Famicom contain the old RP2A03. Got another report of an old mac emulator that implement it too. Strangely this was not known by NESDEV
your useless Famicom trivia for today is that there is a difference in the fire sound in Super Mario Bros. between a square button console and a round button console

"RP2A03 VST" is probably the next best thing. It's super limited but sounds way more accurate.

NES music started off basic. At launch, it was basic triangle wave bass and short, old fashioned jingles. Pretty soon though, Hirokazu Tanaka and Koji Kondo brought more contemporary influences, while making use of all PSG channels even in-game, showing off more of the RP2A03 chip's versatility.
