Cujo's Curated SIDs

I've listened to SID music on and off since the 80s, and mostly from early games and demos. Lately, I have explored more recent music. There are online lists of peoples favorite SID music, and online players, see [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Because I have different tastes, I had the motivation to make my own list and UX. So from january 2020 to september 2022, I listened through the HVSC having over 50k songs, resulting in a list of 600-700 favorites. I put together a UX so I can easily access them. This project is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I guess that many others here would also enjoy…

In plain words

Cujo's Curated SIDs is a curated collection and player for SID music, the chiptune format from Commodore 64 games and demos. The creator listened through over 50,000 songs from the High Voltage SID Collection between 2020 and 2022, selecting 600-700 favorites based on personal taste. The project provides an interface to easily browse and listen to this handpicked collection. It is for SID music enthusiasts who want an alternative to existing public lists and players.

    I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
