Markus added bluetooth to his Hybrid SID player: I thought it would be nice to have my SID player hardware located next to the stereo equipment and have its audio output connected to it. Having an USB cable running to the laptop from which ACID 64 sends the SID data isn’t convenient, so I looked […]

SID player VHDL core
d18c7db was inspired by Markus’ SID audio file player so he implemented a SID player in VHDL: I spent some time this weekend and got some initial sounds out of my board. I’m using a Papilio FPGA board with a SID core written in VHDL. The sounds coming out sound 90% correct, the tunes are […]
CUI32Stem dev-board prototype
The CUI32 is a PIC32 USB development board. Markus updated the design to use as an Commodore sound chip emulator and SID music file player. Now that re-design has become the CUI32Stem, and it will soon be available at Seeed: SeeedStudio is currently producing a prototype of the board and if everything goes well, they […]
Hybrid SID player update
Markus has updated his hybrid SID player again. The new version has the classic stand-alone mode, with a new networked mode that pulls SID auto from a PC: Beside the disadvantage of not being stand-alone, the ‘Network SID Device’ mode has several benefits: Newer tunes containing samples are only released in RSID format which the […]
Another SID player update
Another SID player update from Markus: I added digi-support and a follow-up video demonstrating digi playback is available here Two things to keep in mind: The emulator code (TinySID) can only playback tunes in PSID format (in which the majority of the files in the HVSC are). However, with update #50 the digi-tunes in the […]
PIC32 drives SID audio chip update
Markus posted an update on his latest project SID player we covered earlier. The PIC32 acts as USB host to the attached memory stick, which contains all my favorite tunes in .sid format from the HVSC. I used Elm Chan’s FatFs library because it hat LFS (long filename support) together with the Microchip USB stack. […]
Hybrid SID player update
Markus concludes his SID player project: To conclude this project, I added a headphone amplifier to the perfboard. I had this in my mind when soldering the other parts on it, so luckily there was enough space left :) Here is the updated schematic and some pictures of the finnished board. Video below. Via the […]
PIC32 drives SID audio chip
Markus shared his latest SID player in the project log forum: I am currently working on a kind of hybrid between an emulated and a real SID Player. The CPU and CIA stuff runs emulated on a PIC32 and the sound is generated by a hardware SID chip. I had the TinySID emulator already running […]
