I post a lot about replacement SID chips, but something very special arrived today. This is the as-yet unreleased SIDemu, to which the creator was kind enough to grant me early access.

I love ARMSID and SIDKick, but everything about this thing feels next-level.

There is a new replacement board named SIDemu that will hopefully be available to buy soon. I have one here (I talked nicely to the creator) and it's amazing.

More Rob Hubbard on the SIDemu. Sounding great, but to be fair the fab little SIDKick Pico also nails this one.

Finally had the time to record a new video, go see it on YouTube!

Have you tried the SIDKick Pico 2350 version with it? Unlike the 2040, when using it in a breadbin there are no bus timing issues at all.

SIDemu will most likely work fine. He's got it so accurate that the suite of test programs I've been using think it's a real SID.
