Java SIDPlay or JSIDPlay is designed as an Open Source app that makes it possible to listen to the SID music of the Commodore 64 (C64).
Beside that, Java SIDPlay has evolved to a full featured Commodore 64 emulator.
SID (Sound Interface Device) is the name of a sound chip and part of the Commodore 64.
It is responsible for sound playback and a synthesizer which can be programmed in Basic and Assembler to produce sound output.
Here are some key features of "Java SIDPlay":
· load sound files with extensions: SID (PSID/RSID), MUS, DAT, P00, PRG, STR. You can find most of them in the High Voltage SID Collection, the biggest music collection on earth.
· play mono and stereo formats
· play with custom sample rates (sample size is 16 bit)
· load external SID Filter definition
· check song length from Song Length database (SLDb contained in HVSC)
· be configured by an INI file containing emulation and player settings
· be integrated into Java enabled platforms
· being used like a real C64 (watching demos, playing games etc.)
