Product announcement! HACKERS new sid
Hello there all fellow C64 enthusiasts!
We are planning to release our first hardware product soon! So we need you to tell us what you think of it:
So the idea is that since C64 computers have very varying SID chips, with different kind of sound from a PC emulator. So there are many composers out there who would like to hear their songs as they are meant to be played. This is the reason we are dedicated to implement the original SIDPLAY2 sid sound on a FPGA chip. This new SID meant to be a drop-in replacement, which you can use to replace the old, dodgy sid chips in all C64 models. The chip could be also used as an SID replacement for other sid synthetizers, such as Midibox SID and Catweasel MK3.
We are developing for the Xilinx Spartan 6 LX9 FPGA, which is the best FPGA in the universe. All hardware will be developed by ourselves, and doesn't require any software to run.
So, what do you think? Pretty cool huh, finally a chance to hear many classics as they were meant to be played.
Signed,
Ash Checksum of HACKERS |
