Handle id #10120 : David Horrocks

I'm not sure if everybody knows, but he is the man behind the very good Hoxs64 Emulator:

www.btinternet.com/~hoxs64/

Not only that! By now Hoxs64 has the most accurate 8580 Emulation ever was created. You won't hear a difference. :)

Too bad.
I was just about to ask nata to do a special tune for my podcast (2000+ downloads/listeners per episode).
But as he never going to read this, he will never reach a bigger audience.

Oh well...

I'm not sure what you are writing now, but it must be something OFFTOPIC!

So, let's talk about David's perfect SID Emulation. OK? (everybody else...)
Btw. The emulator is updated quite a lot, so it's really worth to have a look. :)

How can something not sound different that always sounds different? Its like a weather emulator that emulates sunshine.
And didnt you quit?

Are you crazy man? A 8580 never sounds different! (filters ... etc.)

Yes, I stopped composing....

Quitting and coming back shortly afterwards is just so lame. I'd never do that.

Ok, then I'm back now. But, don't be surprised if some day *nata* is pissed again. OK?

edit: Now I understand! ;)

Seriously, Hoxs64 is my favourite SID Emulation.

actually 8580 may vary very slightly, but who cares , eh?

there's no perfect sid emulation because there is no perfect digital representation of analogue electronic circuits, and even those very good (professional stuff used to test for example work-in-progress devices) are eating very much CPU power, so there's always approximation on SID filters.
additionally real world analogue components vary from piece to piece (This is the case with SID's filters too).

haven't tested that recent HOXS version , however I appreciate work done on it, but before you claim its emulation is so fuckin' cool and blasting everything out check out sidbooster emulation engine on amiga by Glover, it may be better 8580 emulator, but written entirely in 680xx assembler so most likely it's just kinda dead ;-) . Actually it works full speed on 68030 equipped Amiga 1200 so it's relatively fast.

PS. Nata, why do you recently behave like kiddish asshole?
