Description : C++ library to emulate the SID chip
This is reSID, a reverse engineered software emulation of the MOS6581
SID (Sound Interface Device). This chip was used in the Commodore 64
computer.
.
reSID is a C++ library containing a complete emulation of the SID
chip. This library can be linked into programs emulating the MOS6510
MPU to play music made for the Commodore 64 computer. reSID has been
successfully linked into VICE, a full-fledged Commodore 64 emulator,
and SIDPLAY, a popular SID tune player. The VICE home page is:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dsladic/vice/ A patch for SIDPLAY can be found
on the SIDPLAY home page:

.
Various SID emulators exist, however reSID should still be of great
interest to Commodore 64 nostalgics. The emulator engine is
cycle-based, emulating the internal operations of the SID chip. SID's
audio filter is modeled as an actual two-integrator-loop biquadratic
filter circuit. The engine has been developed based on available
information on SID, sampling of the OSC3 and ENV3 registers, filter
theory, and meticulous testing. In short, a scientific approach has
been taken to model the SID chip as accurately as possible.
.
To our knowledge reSID is by far the most accurate SID emulator ever
created. This comes at a price; what is considered a fairly fast CPU
at the time of this writing is needed to run the emulator.
