   "Ocean Loader 4" by Jonathan Dunn, a legendary 37 year old Commodore 64 SID tune played on a 30 year old emulator for DOS? Don't mind if I do!
   🔊🎵

     @Viss I was starting to get worried that no one would reply properly. Phew.

     @dosnostalgic @Viss Try not to play any C64 tunes on your way through the parking lot.

     @dosnostalgic wasn’t there an emulator that used Adlib to approximate the SID? pc64 or something?

     @ExtentOfTheJam I didn't have that, but I have an OPL music player that supports multiple OPL2/3 formats, but also plays SID and AY tunes through Adlib approximations. They are not great.

     @ExtentOfTheJam Just remembered this conversation, and decided to fire it up. Well, it's not great, but it is better than I remembered.

     @ExtentOfTheJam Am I high, or is this actually not terrible?

     @dosnostalgic it’s really impressive for what it is. It’s OPL3, right? That can do all the square waves. But I wonder if it tries to also emulate filters. Like what would Eliminator’s OST sound like, or if you want to get really crazy like Bootsy’s Club Tonic by Hein Holt

     @ExtentOfTheJam Unfortunately it only accepts ancient format of SID files made using 30 year old conversion tools, and even then it doesn't play all of them. So my selection is kind of limited.

     @ExtentOfTheJam Ok, the loader tune from Sanxion plays, and I think it might answer some of those questions. I trust you're familiar with the source.
