Field notes
The page describes emulation of the 6510, VIC-II, and CIA cycle by cycle, and says reSIDfp supplies the SID model, with the model selectable from the tune header or forced to 6581 or 8580. The interface also gives digi samples their own display and supports subsong switching; installation options include an AppImage and source-build commands. The project credits its origins as a Linux port of VacSid and lists GPL-3.0-or-later.
