New video: New SID Replacement: Kung Fu SID
The MOS SID is the sound chip of the C64. Sadly they are no longer in production. There are several replacement solutions out there, with varying pricepoints and sound quality. Now there is a new contender, fully open source hard- and software. It goes by the name of Kung Fu SID - promising great emulation and a price that's hard to beat. Does it deliver...?
I can't stream Saturday, so let's do a quick early Friday morning (9AM eastern) stream to test out the cleaned-up, previously really nasty Commodore PC 20-III from last weekend's stream. You won't lose your breakfast like you lost your lunch last weekend! #vintagepc #commodore https://youtube.com/live/CEgB9h653AE?feature=share

This would be my happy place too. I feel better knowing they used an Amstrad to write C64 assembler. Makes me feel less bad about coding my assembler in VIM.

A little spoiler: the next part of my #commodore #assembly series melted my brain.
I try to understand where goes what between CPU and memory (including forbidden registries) and I finally learn what a databus is.
This alone makes me understand how computer go brrrr much deeper.
Release: most likely tomorrow night.
