XSidplay2

XSIDPLAY2 is a QT based music player for SID music. It is based onto Michael Schwendt's XSIDPLAY, the historical SID player for Linux, actually no more developed by the author.

It uses ALSA or SDL for audio output.

Sid emulation uses Libsidplayfp 2 that has both Resid and ResidFp engines (ExSid support is being added). For some tunes Libsidplayfp require you gives the Kernal, Basic and Chargen C64 file roms to use.

Unless the Linux origin, it compile and execute even into Windows, still using QT5 and SDL for sound.

It uses HVSC information in STIL and song length DB, it shows CGSC lyrics, the player used by the song, the A4 note frequency table used by the player.

Actual version is 2.1.9.
