SIDKick Pico Commodore 64 and 128 (C64 / C128) – MOS SID 6581 / 8580 Replacement
SIDKick Pico Commodore 64 and 128 (C64 / C128) MOS SID 6581 / 8580 Replacement
The SIDKick pico (“SKpico”) is a drop-in replacement for the SID 6581/8580 sound chips in the Commodore 64 and 128 computers. It has been designed as an inexpensive alternative to other replacements while not making compromises regarding quality. It consists of a simple interface board and a Raspberry Pi Pico (or compatible clone). The emulation is based on an extended version of reSID 0.16, and includes a few additional features:
- dual 6581 and/or 8580 emulation based on reSID 0.16 (optional: extension for digi-playing techniques)
- 2nd-SID address at $d400, $d420, $d500, $d420 + $d500 simultaneously, $de00, $df00 (on C128 no $d500), or any address when an external chip select signal is used (e.g. on Ultimate 64 boards)
- paddle/mouse support
- built-in configuration menu (launch with “SYS 54301″/”SYS 54333”, also from C128-mode)
- sound output via PWM (mono) through the C64/C128 mainboard, or in stereo using a PCM5102A-DAC-board (recommended)
