guys... it's meant as an alternative for non-musicians. just those who want true .sid playback options on a real sid instead of buying the entire hardsid.

it's like an audiophile piece.. of course there's no vst support.

it's like buying a record player for  your record collection. in this case it's like buying a specific external Sound Card
for specific song format playback. "for the purists" so to speak.

Talk about face palm.. lol.. what'd u'd expect ? there to be a HUGE difference in cost simply because it could only fit 1 Sid instead of 4? hahaha
that's silly.

220V -> 12V (can't remember if it's AC or DC... NES was AC, but DC worked fine.. honestly i think both will work).

On the NES it has a full wave bridge rectifier to convert 12Vac, but 12Vdc would work fine w/ a small .7V drop and it was still enough for the 7805 to work. If i remember correctly the famicom was very similar with regards to the power supply.

Good luck!

What would VST functionality add to it?

wouldn't that just be more of a Hardsid?

I used to have a 4 chip studio hardsid.. but he wouldnt' finish the damn plugin support for mac's. which is closing him out to A LOT of
business/sales

1943 did.. to a degree...


I love raiden, dont get me wrong. but once you get the large power up it's almost impossible to see anything on the screen there's so much gun fire going on. lol

sometimes i just like to keep it simple and skill driven and play 1943.

I am pretty disappointed that this doesn't have VST support.. seems arbitrary! Also it contains a DC power input you can use if your usb bus is underpowered.


you can always mod it to not be bus powered..

and why would you need vst support. it's just a playback device.. buy hardsid if you want a vst controlled sid synth.

this is simply a playback device.

double and triple check your wiring. i'm almost 100% sure it's human error.

I wouldn't have thought there would be enough current either, especially on a laptop?  But I guess you could use a powered hub to get around that!

Do you know how much a SID chip draws for current?

Doesn't the SID required more power than a usb port is willing to give?

My guess is they have a DC::DC Converter in there.. Similar to how the DMG supply goes from 6volts to -17 volts DC.
They stretch the current available to make more voltage.
Beauty of technology. :-D
