The USBSID-Pico is a cutting-edge hardware project leveraging the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) microcontroller to interface with one or two MOS SID chips, the iconic sound chips of the Commodore 64. This innovative setup enables seamless connectivity to modern devices via USB, facilitating classic chiptune playback and MIDI controller integration. The project is compatible with several SID chip alternatives, including SIDKick-Pico and ARMSID, and boasts advanced features such as onboard audio filtering, configurable power options, and support for single, dual, and quadraphonic SID output.
USBSID-Pico supports various ways of playing SID files such as Deepsid by Chordian,SidBerry and Vice.
