sidplay — Music player and C64 SID chip emulator
Contents
Description
Sidplayer is a music player program that emulates the the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581, commonly
called SID) and the Micro Processor Unit (MOS 6510), allowing you to play music files written for
Commodore 64 on a modern computer.
All you need is audio hardware with average PCM waveform playback capabilities. A fast CPU and a 16-bit
sound card are recommended for better performance and slightly better audio quality.
