Players
To play any of the tunes in HVSC, you will need a player to play them on. Here you can find links to SID players.
| Link | Description |
|---|---|
Sidplay2.5 | This is a revamped version of the old Sidplay2 that incorporates the latest Antti Lankila's filter patches and also has the latest resid-fp patch to play back the new "waveform samples". On the whole a huge leap forward in emulation sound quality, but take note that in some very rare cases it may sound worse than before. Very CPU intensive at that, so a 2 Ghz machine is recommended. |
