  • SID player for VICE

    From Andreas Kohlbach@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 21 12:09:06 2022
    XPost: comp.sys.cbm

    From my last Debian installation I remember there was a standalone SID
    player coming with the VICE emulator. On the new installation I also
    installed VICE, but cannot find the executable (and cannot remember its
    file name from the previous installation.

    Is this player still shipped with VICE (on Linux)? What's its name then?

    "vsid". It's built by default in the VICE source code, so I'd expect
    most Linux distributions to include it somewhere (e.g. in Debian it's
    just in the "vice" package with the rest of the emulators).

    Quite a lot of general music players support SID files through
    libsidplayfp as well...

    Yay! :-) It was already installed! Just didn't knew the name of the
    program. :-)

    Still problems to run it. It wants a kernal rom. Cannot figure out the
    syntax.

    vsid -kernal /usr/lib/vice/C64/kernal Music/sids/Sanxion.sid

    throws errors. Would like to add it to the .vicerc. Anyone has a snipped
    of her/his setup concerning vsid?

    Don't want to install extra software if installed programs can already play
    SID files.

    On the old machine there was also VLC which plays SID files. Not installing
    it on the new machine.

    /usr/bin/vsid is in the Debian vice package. Is that the thing you're remembering?
