C64 CUSTOMS installs the FPGASID dual sound module on a Commodore 64 Reloaded Mk2 and walks through the setup using ConfiGuru. The process takes about 20 minutes and needs no soldering for standard features. With this module, users can boost their C64 audio experience without hardware hassle.
The FPGASID dual sound chip accurately reproduces both the MOS6581 and MOS8580 SIDs. It uses digital precision for tone generation and Spice simulation for analog filter accuracy. As a bonus, it delivers two complete SIDs for six-voice stereo sound. Classic mono tracks gain new depth through pseudo-stereo mixing, while the audio quality is cleaner than ever before.
Compatibility is impressive. It works in any C64, SX64, or C128 and supports both single and dual SID software. Paddle, mouse, and EXTIN analog input functions all work perfectly. Using ConfiGuru, users can set each SID individually and save two configurations to flash memory. They can also update firmware directly on the C64 and use built-in diagnostics to check hardware issues quickly.
The FPGASID’s sound performance stands out. It offers authentic SID character while improving clarity and stereo separation. At a price of €74.95 from KryoFlux GmbH, this module makes premium sound affordable. For anyone wanting true SID accuracy with modern stereo power, the FPGASID dual sound upgrade is the perfect balance of nostalgia and innovation.
