Today we will actually compare #scientifically the oscillators and the #filter of the #sidkick #pico with the #C64 original 6581 #sid
We will create a little basic program that plays the 3 oscilators in turn and do a LP filter sweep and see what the remain output is when we cancel the wave forms of the sidkick pico and SID out by flipping th ephase of one.
This is the only way you can actually check the similarity in a non-biased way. No #retro compitre youtuber has done this yet.

Chapters:
00:00 Intro
01:55 building the SIDkick
03:35 Testing the SIDKick if it works
04:04 What is the plan on how to compare?
05:03 Going through BASIC code
07:30 Hooking it up to 24 bit DAC (and some joking)
09:19 First run of BASIC program and capture
10:14 Aligning and processing the two audio clips
12:38 Talking filter response
13:48 Playing the residual render (conclusion)
18:26 Outro

![CODING LIKE ITS 1989
We will be coding a Turbo On/Off switching tool for an old Compaq, based on Adrians Digital Basement episodes.
We will learn how to:
-load registers
-if then else statements (when arg is 0 then turbo off else, turbo on)
-read form memory
-write text to screen
-write to IO ports
The code we will create:
https://github.com/rdoetjes/turbo
The dosbox TASM development environment, to code along:
https://www.subliminal-artit.com/assets/dosbox.zip
THIS NEEDS TO GO IN YOUR DOSBOX CONFIG FILE
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount c ~/dosbox
PATH=C:TCBIN;C:TASMBIN
