This is a fork of VICE, with ASID support (remote SID register control over MIDI), originally posted as a patch in http://midibox.org/forums/topic/17538-vice-emulator-asid-hacks-linux-and-windows/. This allows VICE to command an Elektron SIDStation, or a C64 with a Vessel interface and VAP, or a C64 with a regular MIDI interface and Station64. ASID isn't fast enough for sample playback.

To enable the asid output, use the -sounddev asid
command line option.
Select the midi port to use with -soundarg
.
The list of ports is output when the asid driver is started (either on the command line, or in vice.log)
It defaults to port 0, which is usually some internal port.
vsid -sounddev asid -soundarg 1 Commando.sid
x64sc -sounddev asid -soundarg 1 Commando.d64
The midi port can also be set in vice.ini
:
SoundDeviceName="asid"
SoundDeviceArg="1"
