The return of the Hybrid Sid Player by xAD/Nightfall & Gianluca Renzi (RetroBit Lab)

Based on the Project and Hardware Schematic by Markus Gritsch released in the years 2011-2015 on the forum dangerousprototypes. Thanks Markus.

Changelog:

v1.05 – 18/05/2021

Updated:

Made a single subroutine for the index eeprom write instead of repeating it many times in the code.
Increased the display time of the sid model to 3 seconds.
The action to clean the data in the eeprom has been changed.
- Now for reset the default settings just hold down the MODE button during boot until the message “Reset Default Settings” appears and then release it, the player will reboot.

Added:

Faster than hell! :D
- Now when you are in the browsing sid files section you can also use the PREVIOUS or NEXT buttons to quickly scroll the list in both directions.
You are Sleeping ? :D
- If you fall asleep while you listening a SID tunes and you are in the browsing sid files section after 30 seconds the player will automatically switch to the tuneinfo/vu-meter view mode. (available only if you are playing SID o SID/DIGI tunes , no DMP)
Added some illegal/undocumented opcodes to the CPU Emulator:
- SHA
- SHS
- SBC ($EB)
- ASR
- ANC
- ARR

Fixed:

The playing time of a song runs even if it wasn’t playing anything, this happen only at the first time when you power-on or reset the player and you haven’t chosen a song to listen yet.
Fixed SBC & ASL and some others cpu opcode.
Finally also these sid tune now works correctly:
