My Dreamproject in a perfect housing (ready after years of dreaming):
8580 SID-Player in a Pioneer DT 555 case.
Driven by a AT91SAM7S256 @ 48MHz.
64KB RAM / 52KB for PSID-Files.
256MB SD-Card for 35000+ PSID-Files. Accessed by RAW-Sectors.
Display 2×16 HD44780.
Trust 2.1 Soundsystem.
Panel connected: Power On/Off, next Menupoint, enter, AT91SAM7S256 reset.

It was a very hard way to the end-result. Thanks to everyone who supported me. Special thanks go to MyWife (for not killing me), MyKids (for loving SID-Tunes), Frank Buss, Stephan W., Atmel Support, Commodore, Thomas Pototschnig, Andreas Schwarz, Benedikt K., A.

TinySID on a 16 bit PIC

Ater successfully getting the TinySID library running on a PIC32 [1] some time ago, I recently wondered, if the 16 bit MCUs from Microchip would also be fast enough to run the code. It turned out, that they are, at least the 40 MIPS models (PIC24H and dsPIC33F).

A big hurdle is the (compared to the PIC32MX) small RAM on these chips. Since the SID tune must be loaded into RAM, only some small tunes will fit into the 8 kB of the MCU used on the Web Platform [2] I had at hand.

However, the source code [3] and binary [4] are available from Google Code. The PWM output is on IO7, and IO8 is used to switch the tune when pulled to GND.

Have fun,
Markus

Find me on the web : http://www.logikstate.com

Here is a very quick demo that shows some other songs that were made with Rob’s replay back in the day.

Saw this while I was gone, and didn’t realize how cool this actually is! Wonder if it can just natively reopen Hubbard sids for editing?
