timeline of SID achievements
I'm looking for a timeline of SID achievements. Does this exist? A list of important software (trackers and non-trackers, midi-sequencers and midi-slaves, sample-players and "drum machines", generatives, remix-tools, etc) and SID-tricks (playing digi-stuff, multispeed, hardrestart, etc). Who, where, when, how, why. I think a timeline over these things would be important to put together, if it doesn't already exist.
(I work on a timeline of chip music in general here: chipflip.wordpress.com/timeline. It is far from finished, of course. Suggestions are very welcome)

*afaik* they are actually (poorly) emulated. |

unpacked yo.exe, no sidfile or 6502 code in it. |

The only pc production I know that uses an actual sid file and a simple emulation is turrican32k by farbrausch, I know about it because I've ripped it and sent to HVSC some year ago =)

Well, that stuff may be relevant too. I was, however, rather thinking of particular findings about the detailed workings of the SID, such as the one referred to here, which consists in the documentation of a slight difference between the 6581 and the 8580:

Then again, this sort of details are perhaps not really considered "breakthroughs" or "milestones"... |

At least mathematica did it ~2 years before that, and I don't think it was the first either |

@Rambo: Dunno if that is what you meant, but I wasn't referring to "SID detection", but to the documentation of a difference between the chips. (But sid detection is relevant in itself too, of course.) |

I think 'documentation' for differences in 6581/8580 were made by Michael Schwendt, as he optimized SIDPLAY for both chips, around 1996-97. However, this documentation is written down nowhere in public.. |
