SID Player port for ZX Spectrum (first success)

[Abrimaal]

Is it played by AY only by software emulation or is there a virtual SID "inside" the Spectrum emulator? Is it possible on real hardware?

@Abrimaal This player uses real SID connected to Spectrum. I'm using reSID to emulate it.

You should also see these videos:

Z1MKvA46Os0 - real hardware implementation of this "concept".

@molodcovalex I thought so, and I think 2xAY is enough for Spectrum. Although Z80 can execute all commands of 6502/6510 CPU, so it can control a real SID chip, I don't think it's sufficient to connect everything to Spectrum. During last years too many models were created (mainly in Russia) and they are incompatible.
