Basically, SIDPLAY is just an ordinary music player software. More
|
|
specifically, it emulates the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581,
|
|
known as SID) and the Micro Processor Unit (MOS 6510) of the
|
|
Commodore 64 on your computer. Its platform-independent software
|
|
emulates hardware components. Therefore it is able to load and execute
|
|
C64 machine code programs which produce music or sound. In general,
|
|
these are independent fragments of code and data which have been
|
|
ripped from games and demonstration programs and were transferred
|
|
directly from the C64. All you need is a supported operating system and
|
|
audio hardware with average PCM waveform playback capabilities. A
|
|
fast CPU and a 16-bit sound card are recommended for better
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
This is just the library. To actually use it, you need one of the
|
|
front-ends like 'sidplay' or 'xsidplay'.
