■ FEATURES - HARDWARE C64
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VacSiD is able to emulate the C64-soundchip, processor and
related hardware for playing 64-tunes on standard PC with
a Soundblaster(tm), Gravis Ultrasound(tm) or ProAudio Spectrum(tm)
soundcard.
SiD (MOS6581)
- 3 FM-Voices, _completly_ emulated
- Real white noise, no samples
- 1 Digi-Channel, controlled through PlaySid-Registers
_and_ unpatched NMI-Songs using CIA#2/Volume Registers
- Analoge filter emulation (not 100%)
- 2nd SiD switchable at D420 (aka "stereo-sid")
CPU (MOS6510)
- Full bankswitching emulated (64k RAM/20k ROM)
- All legal OP-Codes
- Partitially illegal OP-Codes
- Partitially decimal arithmetics
- NMI and IRQ available
CIA (MOS6526)
- CIA#1 and CIA#2 interrupt counters
- Interrupt lines connected to 6510-IRQ and 6510-NMI
VIC (MOS6567)
- D012/D011 available for "random" numbers
- Scanline-IRQ available
MEMORY
- 64k Host RAM Memory
- ROMs: BASIC, KERNAL, CHAR
- 2 single, independent RAM Banks at DE00 and DF00
- 1k*4 color-RAM at D800
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ FEATURES - HARDWARE PC
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Following Soundcards are supported:
- SoundBlaster (tm) : Mono , up to 22kHz
- SoundBlaster Pro (tm) : Mono , up to 44kHz
- SoundBlaster 16 (tm) : Stereo, up to 44kHz
- Gravis Ultrasound (tm) : Stereo, up to 44kHz *
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (tm) : Stereo, up to 44kHz *
( * = deleted, will be implemented in later versions )
MINIMUM Requirements:
- 486/33 CPU (gives you mono-output at 22kHz)
- SB
BETTER:
- a VESA VLB/PCI VGA Card
- 486 2/66 CPU or better
- SB16
(44khz Stereo SB-Output on a Pentium75 uses approx. 40% CPU-
Ressources. So check out!)

■ FEATURES - SOFTWARE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VacSiD features:
- "Pseudo"- Stereo-Output
- Compressor/Limiter
- Playlists
- Online-Help
- Comfortable File-Selector based on CubicPlayer
- SongMessage detection
- Highly configurable player
- AHSM (Automatic HalfSampleMode, switches down
to the half sampling rate if ressources are going
out)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ FILESELECTOR / MENU
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Use it like Cubic, btw. check out F1 for Keys-description.
Reading RAR&ZIP&ARJ-Archives now implemeted.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ COMPATIBILITY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VacSiD recognizes following files as "SiD-Files":
- DAT with SID (SidPlay PC)
- DAT with INF (PlaySid AMIGA)
- DAT only (with PlaySid-Header)
- DAT only (without song-information) up to 90%
"Galway-Noises", which are special samples, are not
completely supported. (I don't have any informations about)
VacSiD actually does work under WIN3.11 / Win95.
