MiSTer FPGA versus MOS6581 vs MOS8580

Unread post by gibs »

Hello,

I did a comparison of the new SID (from the Mister) with the C64 ones.
The SID from the Mister FPGA is really good.
What do you think ?

It's ok and has improved a lot in the past few months. There is still the odd thing that breaks the illusion

8580 should be easier to get right as it's a more uniform sound and really it's the better SID. There was quite a few 6581 revisions and the filters all sounded slightly different.
