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 Proces-
       sor 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 bet-
       ter performance and slightly better audio quality.

OPTIONS
