Note from alankila, 18.9.2010:
|
|
|
|
I'm gradually considering sidplay2 codebase to be obsolete. I am officially
|
|
abandoning this project today.
|
|
|
|
I'm primarily working on jsidplay2, which has now also been integrated to
|
|
Acid64 via jsiddevice, a SID emulator on the other end of a network socket,
|
|
which is basically a minimalistic jsidplay2 as well. The java project is
|
|
strongly recommend for checking out, as it has video output, cartride, disk and
|
|
tape support in addition to SID playing capabilities.
|
|
|
|
This codebase has a variety of bugs in CPU and with its headless VIC emulation.
|
|
These bugs are unlikely to ever get fixed, due to the lipstick-on-a-pig feeling
|
|
that it evokes. (The Java codebase has rewritten CPU and VIC.) Hoever, it is of
|
|
note that someone ported our port of VICE's MOS6526 into this codebase, so that
|
|
is now fairly good and is expected to pass the Lorentz test suite. So people
|
|
who want to work on a sidplay2 are encouraged to pick the mos6526.cpp from this
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
In short, use jsidplay2, or acic64+jsiddevice, or VICE's vsid. I know the vsid
|
|
is right now horribly primitive, but I'm pretty sure a superior SID player
|
|
can be evolved from VICE with less effort than it takes to upgrade the CPU and
|
|
VIC of sidplay2, and to perhaps fix other small problems.
|
|
|
|
See you in VICE, or the land of Java.

Addition from Leandro "drfiemost" Nini, 28/09/2010
|
|
|
|
As Antti Lankila switched his focus on other projects from now on I'll keep
|
|
maintaining (lib)sidplay2.
|
|
Following Antti's suggestions I started by integrating VICE's version of
|
|
resid-fp to make easy porting fixes, with the effect of switching the output
|
|
back from float to 16 bit signed integers.
|
|
Since I'm developing my own music player my interest in sidplay (the executable)
|
|
is limited so I'll try to keep it in sync with changes to the library but it
|
|
may be broken from time to time.

Update - 17/10/2010
|
|
|
|
The current trunk now contains the resid-fp engine aligned with the VICE's
|
|
version and should be in a usable state.
|
|
The resid-builder branch adds a new builder based on the original reSID code,
|
|
with some fixes from VICE, beside the residfp one. It still need some working
|
|
on filter loading because the two engines uses different filter format.
|
|
|
|
The Windows build files and the spec files are most likey broken,
|
|
fixes are welcome.
