SIDFX on Sidplay64

Hello users,
For anyone interested - I have implemented SIDFX
support in the latest Sidplay64 beta available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sidplay64/

I have only tested it with the 1541u2, and it works great.

I welcome any feedback here on how it works with other devices
before I release it.

The sidplay64-reu-1541u2cmd.prg version works just fine with my Ultimate2+ cart. If I find any reproducible bugs (other than sid files that make it crash), I will post it here.

Let's hope sidfx.dk will release the API specifications/instructions soon so that others can also build support for the SIDFX in their productions.

I have 8580 in slot 1 and 6581 in slot 2.

When I play a 6581 tune, the top left color is white. When playing a 8580 tune it's red. Opposite of instructions :)

Edit: Did some more testing, and indeed it seems like it plays with the wrong SID selected. Anyone else have 8580 left and 6581 right to confirm this?

@fenz... [edit] I have to check the code again. :)

** Anyway, There's a bug in the non-reu versions with sidfx support, i am overwriting some code at $dadf-> with a table.
You will probably only get errors if you have more than 163 files in the dir. Will fix it soon. ***

I notice various bugs happening after playing certain sid tunes. Is this also something you want feedback on?

Ok, new version beta 2 up on sourceforge.
Check it to see if it detects sid#1 and sid# correctly.
It doesnt matter what sid# port you have your sids in.
Just make sure you got TWO. :)

Still plays with the wrong SID here (build date 13.05)

The SID selector switch is set in the middle position, and the second switch set at Stereo D400/D420. SIDFX config tool detects SID1=8580, SID2=6581.

Could you display the model/slot of the detected SIDs in the startup screen perhaps?

My sidfx switch 2 is set to center position. And configured to be in Mono.

Dont know if that has to do with anything.

Ok, set SW#2 to mono now, but didn't fix it.

I use the same config as GRG, meaning: 6581 == SID1 and 8580 == SID2. But when I change it to Fenz's config (physically switching the SIDs),I see the same symptoms as Fenz describes.

It almost seems like something is hardcoded to always play 6581 tunes in SID1 and 8580 tunes in SID2.

It's weird, the least to say. I have switched back to my old config since that works with SP64.
