HardSID & USB 2.0
Hi,
I'm looking for something like HardSID, but can be connected with USB 2.0 etc.
In this way I real SID-power could be used even on Laptops.

I'm digging this thread up since I got a hit here searching for a project I tried a few weeks ago.
This archive allows to use a real C64 connected over USB to your PC. Use a simple 5V serial to USB adapter with FT232* or PL2303 circuit, can be found cheap on eBay and other places. Hook only TxD, RxD and GND according to instructions.

I tried it with WinVICE and got some delays now and then, might be my slow computer. SIDplay1 worked better, Acid64 and Goattracker is mentioned as well.
As a bonus the same cable can also be used as a terminal cable, with a few more jumpers you can get 9600bps with Striketerm or Novaterm9.6c. Jim Brain's tcpser will get you out through the network connection of your PC. You can also setup your own BBS.
Perhaps all this is old new but at least it's in the thread now. |

How fast CPU's have you tested with (if thats an issue at all) - to me an external SID solution, especially dual SID would be interesting at some point.
I know that HardSID developers didnt want to waste money on certifying the drivers for newer Windows editions and 64-bit.
Not sure what more there is to do with HardSID in the future or am I wrong? |

There is also SIDBlaster, which is HardSID API compatible (sort of) and works with VICE, SidPlay2, GoatTracker etc.

I wrote a drop-in replacement of hardsid.dll for it a couple of years ago and I can make the source code and windows binaries publicly available if anyone's interested. |

I own Sidblaster . Works great on Win8.1 X64, but can't run Acid64 player on it. Maybe someone know how to do it? |

@Isildur: I am talking to Wilfred about it and hopefully we'll be able to fix it. |

@Stein, thanks - great news. Can't understand why Sidblaster is discontinued - such a handy device. |

Hi, they did 64bit driver, however it's unsigned so you need to bypass this part with Windows.
List of software is here https://www.facebook.com/pages/HardSID/83072518350?fref=ts
As to CPU speed I actually haven't thought it can be of any problem. I've used it with Centrino vPro 2 some 2GHz (can't recall now) - no issues as to the device itself.
What's more to do? OSX / Linux drivers :)P |

There's instructions how to get hardsid4 driver installed into 64bit windows. This method works also in forthcoming windows 10 (tested in virtual machine) |

@grue: trying it out at weasel's place. Yet we get a "signtool error: missing filename" when signing the sys file. Interwebs dont spit too much on that..
Any help on getting the driver signed?
Why not put a signed driver on for convenient download anyway? |
