Catweasel SID player

Hello,

Are there any music players for AmigaOS 4 that can play SID tunes using the Catweasel MK3 PCI card?

My driver did not support sid,
but what Ian added or not, I'm not sure.


Can be idea to have a std sid api or something, maybe there is sid library or something.

Perhaps if the Linux sources includes it, then OS4.1 driver can be updated to support it. But not a simple job, the OS4.1 api is different from Linux api, it will need to re-written it’s not a simple recompile.

"My driver"?

"Did"?

"Ian"?

How about some context?

I installed Ian's Catweasel drivers (catweasel.device and catweaselsid.device) from the AmigaOS 4.1 FE installation CD. Once installed Catweasel Disk Preferences program does play a SID test sound but catweasel.device crashes right after that.

AmigaOS 4.1 SDK has Catweasel include files but there is no documentation or example programs. Are they for using the devices or for accessing the card directly?

@jap

Perhaps there is a difference between MK3 and MK4 driver, perhaps catweaselsid.device is for MK3 card/driver, the MK3 driver was written by some one else.

The source code for Linux driver was on CD I remember, I might asked for code, and burnt it myself, but I'm pretty sure it was in the package.

I never seen Ian post here (nor am I sure what nick he uses), Ian ported it to AROS, kept improving it after I lost interest.

If he did post here, I let him answer as he is more up to date on the subject.

I don’t own a SID chip myself, so there was no incentive to support it.

He hasn't logged in for some time but there are other ways to contact him.

Ian definitely had the SID driver working with the MK4+. There was a long thread here on testing it (I sent him a spare SID for testing). I recall it working with Vice a decade or so ago.

The reason for catweasel.device crashing may be that I have no disk drive connected to the Catweasel.
