after deciding the problem was "impossible" to solve, he kept at it:

- frownie 12y agoIn the demoscene, doing the impossible was just regular behaviour :-) Just look at what they get out of a mere C64...
- adestefan 12y agoThe VIC-II and SID chips in the C64 are amazing. They blew away anything that could be found inside an IBM PC.
- Intermernet 12y agoI'm a softy, but I still think the SID is amazing. The sounds that developers squeezed out of that chip are a testament to true hackery. I have a feeling the tricks developed to stress the SID to it's maximum have been adopted by a lot of serious audio developers in recent years to get higher track count / lower latency / higher bit rate etc. It's like the SID was the home-chemistry set equivalent for many a professional DAW / plugin designer.
