Ultimax unleashed..
Well, someone did what I've been wanting to do for some time.. Driving VIC fetches from external memory, and stuffing register writes over the bus.. Hooray for Ultimax mode I guess :)
Always wanted to build something like this, but kudos to Laurent for acutally getting there..

He's got a few videos up of it in action.. Nothing ultra crazy, but proof it's all working..

ok then VICII will never get better than that :) |

SID might have a few tricks up its sleeve when being driven at 1 MHz as well. :) |

Maybe it can generate a PAL signal? :) (note: I don't know anything about the hardware requirements involved to generate a PAL signal.) |

that would be the craziest shit anyone ever did :) |

Certainly not, that requires about 5 MHz of bandwidth... |

NTSC might be doable - the dot clock is more than double the chroma carrier frequency over there. |

a wave of a single channel has that resolution, and you can manipulate 1 sid register at a time at 1 mhz... |

The SID is clocked at 1 MHz so the sample rate at the output is at most 1 MHz. This gives a theoretical maximum signal frequency of 500 KHz. |

Speaking about the SID, if only we had a register that simply latches to a voice internal accumulator, with freq = 0 we'd have a trivial way to play 8 bits samples, and voice ADSR would be still available.
I assume back then they didn't think people would want to play PCM samples ? |

There is hardly any memory for it in the first place :) |
