Finally, a good C64 SID replacement! #armsid

The SID chip on the C64 is a pretty great synthesizer chip. Unfortunately, due to the was MOS made the chips, they fail quite frequently. In the past, I had tried the SwinSID replacement SID, but it leaves a lot to be desired about how closely it replicates the SID. Bring on the ARMSID -- which seems to be produce a sound much closer to the real thing. 0:00 Intro 5:05 Donkey Kong 6581 6:59 Donkey Kong ARMSID 8:42 Legend Intro 6581 10:48 Legend Intro ARMSID 14:14 Ode to C64 6581 17:33 Ode to C64 ARMSID 20:37 Turbo Outrun 6581 21:32 Turbo Outrun ARMSID 22:09 Conclusion --- Video Links Donkey Kong SID: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=151272 Legend Intro SID: https://csdb.dk/sid/?id=26105 Ode to C64 SID: https://csdb.dk/sid/?id=15426 Turbo Outrun SID: https://csdb.dk/sid/?id=28220 Purchase the ARMSID from the creator: https://www.retrocomp.cz/produkt?id=2 Turbo Chameleon 64: https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/produk...
