Yes, the tghack-list is still around, but I don't recall seeing a post on
it in quite a long time.
Please visit http://www.zeograd.com to find the HuC compiler, MagicKit
assembler, lots of programming resources, and sample demos and games (most
with source code).
Also, you can go to #utopiasoft on Efnet to discuss turbo programming issues.

The HuC compiler has several functions to support playback of audio CD
sound/music, but doesn't include much out-of-the-box support for ADPCM or
sequenced-tone PSG playback yet. There are a few demos on Zeograd.com
which show how to implement a PSG sequencer in your own 'C' code, so this
is the current way to do sound effects. Hopefully soon there will be
better support in the development kit itself.
