WIP: Vicious SID Converter
After having ported Aleksi Eeben's SID Emu to ca65 I decided that we need more SIDs to play than just Zoids, Upside-Down, and Cybernoid-II (Although they are great!).
So I started to write a SID converter and the first result is a small selection of SIDs converted for the Vic-20+8K.
Not all of them sound great, but do not take my word for it: Download!

Wow! This is impressive. In VICE anyway. This sounds way way better than any Plus/4 sid emulation I've heard.

I made a youtube video of Cybernoid 2:

Splash screen with Minigrafik is no problem and I already combined the cybernoid2 SID with one of Mike's pictures for a demo on our last C= meeting in Graz. The converter takes a prg with the SID-emulator and a SID and combines both into the runnable program. So it is easy to provide a player that is showing a picture.orion70 wrote:Splash screens with Mini/maxigrafik display and SID-like music would be another step up for our VIC .
I will release the converter as soon as it is resonably usable, but right now I am still working on supporting dynamically generated code for the playing routine as used in one of the ghosts'n'goblins SIDs.
Conversion is fully automated, but does not work for SIDs using custom interrupt handlers or tunes with more than 24K.

Nice video! Not much happening on the screen though...Boray wrote:I made a youtube video of Cybernoid 2:

I just tried the converted tunes, and they are impressive on a real VIC . Congratulations. Although, there's a kind of "background noise" which makes them "unpolished" in some moments, if you excuse my ignorance of technical terms (e.g., in Commando the last part is better than the beginning IMO, because the noise is less audible).

WOAH!
I don't yet tried the tunes on my real VIC, but they sounds great on the emulator too. Impressive.
How's possible?
It's possible to get such great musics on the VIC?
My my, if some of you Denial People were at work on programming at that time I think we would had such wonderful games...
...by the way, I understand that today we can use technologies that weren't available in the '80s...

Just got a comment on the video:
"I wrote this tune when I was 15 or 16 and I can't believe I'm seeing this video on YouTube right now! (Jeroen Tel / Maniacs of Noise)"
