XSidplay2
A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux
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.

Hello, i'm new on linux. how i create the app? the download contain a bunch of files, no one executable
hi, the executable is "xsidplay". However it depends from libsidplayfp library that must be installed into the system. As this build is of 5 years ago, I will go to produce a more recent one for Linux that uses the current libraries and then notify you when ready.
If you download again the Linux package there is the new binary (it has some minor fixed, so it is not proper a 2.1.9 version). If it still don't start, you should run it in console and see if there are some error messages. However if you want to compile the program yourself, download the source with: svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xsidplay2/code/trunk xsidplay2-code
hello again
i downloaded it again, double clicking on the xsidplay icon does nothing. i tested on terminal and give me this error "command <<xsidplay2>> not found, did you mean command: <<sidplay>> from deb sidplay-base (1.0.9-8) try: sudo apt install <deb name>"
If you put the archive inside /tmp/xsidplay2 (just as example), then you need to use in console:
As it did not run with double click (but you need to double click on xsdiplay, not the icon), here you can see the error message for the reason it not start
thank you so much, here the error message, missing library
./xsidplay: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You missing the SDL library in your system (it is a dynamic library).
Depending from your system, it should be installed like:
However I will try in weekend to produce a static build of the program (I did not know if this will work as the original xsidplay was full based onto dynamic linking)
Compiling in static require rewriting almost all configuration scripts. Try this in command line:
this will show you all the missing libraries, then we can see how to install them (I need to know the version of Linux you are using)
awesome gotta try out
