linux asid player

[Smithy]

I guess PCM playback would be possible if the sid file was played on an SD Card, and a special sid player app was written for the core.

But that would be quite an effort.

Problem: STM32 hasn't enough internal RAM for a proper C64 emulation which is required to playback a .sid file.

Possible solution: dump any SID register change and delays between register writes to a file - this can be streamed from a SD Card and forwarded to the SID(s)

The same mechanism can be used to playback samples.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Now that's timing - I am just implementing exactly that :thumbsup:;)

Thanks a lot for hacking this into sidplay2! Some SID files from HVSC aren't playing perfect (or not at all, like 'Mutants' from Fred Gray), but it is fantastic to hear the music from that neat little box. Dear 8580, you have a 2nd life :-D

ciao

Did anyone ever post a link to download a hacked VICE for Linux to use MIDIBOX SID? I would definitely like to use this.

Yes I know this post is 1...err some number of years old, we don't need to do the math (I'm not old!). Anyways can confirm this works on modern Linux (I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 which is based on Ubuntu 18 or 20 I believe). I haven't been able to use my sammichSID to rock some real SID tunes in quite some time! Very cool, thanks aTc!

Hey, this looks great, I've been migrated to Linux for a good while, but haven't tried playing any SIDs in a good while on my Sammich. It's wonderful to know this exists and even still works :)
