NAME

       sidplay      — Music player and C64 SID chip emulator

SYNOPSIS

       sidplay       options        datafile  |-

DESCRIPTION

       Sidplayer  is  a  music  player  program  that  emulates  the the Sound
       Interface Device chip (MOS 6581, commonly called  SID)  and  the  Micro
       Processor Unit (MOS 6510), allowing you to play music files written for
       Commodore 64 on a modern computer.

       All you need is audio  hardware  with  average  PCM  waveform  playback
       capabilities.  A  fast  CPU and a 16-bit sound card are recommended for
       better performance and slightly better audio quality.
