Prologue:
---------

During a thorough cleaning session in the attic we
found an old C64 demo disk of ours.

In good old Cream tradition, the demo was forgotten
for decades and was never finished.

Now after decades we faced the challenge, freed
ourselves from the clutches of numbness and brought
it to a releasable state.

We used a transpiler we developed years ago to convert
the C64 disk into an Atari ST disk...

The "menu" of the demo disk is a bit unusual and
interactive. As an old C64 fanboy you will surely
find your way through it. Noobs can also just watch
the video (shame on you).


The demo beams you directly into the year 1985/1986.
Due to some interferences from parallel universes,
there may also be temporal distortions.


You are trapped in a very small brown box...

Face it... You have to STay4Evr!



...in any case enough time to read the round about 55 kb
scroll texts...

(If you want to read all the scroll texts you should not
watch the videos. The videos were recorded earlier and
the scroll texts were expanded afterwards.)

on ST the pure YM will never be able to play SID songs by 100%
respect for making a transpiler as the result is very enjoyable

After a sleep-poor night, I'm still trying to get my head around this one.

Near-faithful SiD tunes on YM2149, thanks to coding wizardry. Mad coding skills being indistinguishable from magic and all that. Also see the Zero Bitplane entries, when those are added.

Questions, can this technique be used with a standalone ST production, or is there some level of C64 emulation still in there? It was mentioned these tunes will be made to work in SNDH Player.

cih... maybe some words to make it more clear what this is:

-the sid emulation is fully based on ym2149 features + timers. means this works fine on a 520st in the same quality. no dma replay. except of filters all is emulated.
-all rob hubbard musics have been reassembled and translated to 68k. no 6502 emulation
-the other musics are streamed with on the fly depacking. streamed means here the sid registers are streamed.
-the basic is a full functional c64 basic. no 6502 emulation. the entire kernal has been reassembled and translated to 68k code.

all musics will be released as sndh because it's a normal ym2149 song. and of course it can be used in a stand alone st production.

Very nice. The SID tunes sound quite legit!

This is excellent! Great sound quality and neat code. As usual. :)

Insane prod. Insane commitment. Love it.

Excellent demo. Makes me want to fix my MegaSTE even quicker to watch it on a real one.

Sound nice.

Wow, didn't knew it is possible to come so close to SID on ST!

Impressive sound effects!

Wow! Just wow! :-)

An incredible achivement that needs a lot of time to digest to it's fullest. Not only the incredible YM-programming, but a full port of the C64 basic?

Thanks for this one Cream :)

Great work, I didn't know the YM2149 could sound as close as SID !
