What is the BSMT-2000?

The BSMT-2000, short for "Brian Schmidt's Mouse Trap", is an audio chip for arcade/pinball games that was invented in 1989 by Brian Schmidt. The chip has a distinct staccato sound for its music that helped make games more fast-paced and frantic. Its first use was in the 1991 Data East Pinball table "Batman", and was used in many more games until the 2003 Stern pinball table "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". By that time there was a chip shortage, resulting in Stern modifying their WhiteStar board to emulate the BSMT. This lasted approximately from 2003's Lord of the Rings to 2005's The Sopranos.
