  1. The SID (audio) emulation is apparently bad by dstone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The SID chip is my All Time Favorite Chip, for the crazy bleepy goodness it produces and for relative ease of programming. Unfortunately, emulating the sucker is quite difficult because of its design quirks. I just scanned the C64 DTV hacking forums, it sounds like the audio emulation leaves a lot to be desired. Sigh.

    It's too bad, because a little plug & play C64 tracker or demo player or SID player at that price would have been a great toy.

  2. Re:It's supposed to work like this... by Rico_Suave · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Good point. The /. headline makes it sound like people have gotten away with something potentially illegal, but it was *designed* to be hackable.
