I just recompiled the hardsid.dll under Win 7 x64 and noticed that it does not seem to work with all players anymore. SIDPLAY2W for instance doesn't work anymore. Hopefully I'll find the time to look into it this weekend. Until then, have the latest version (

hardsid.zip (172.97K)
Number of downloads: 3) and try that.

You might want to try without the "aggressive timing" option

ok guys

WinVICE-2.1 is the most stable with the latest dll Nils so kindly provided,

my WinVICE-2.2-x64 crashed a few times shortly after playing a game so i went back a revision and all semms fine but some abnormalities, for example after a crash. the volume will be real low trying to use the sammich + emulator etc....on/off on sammich fixes that.

Thanks again Nils for the dll,
