Description
I think if we are considering core replacements this one might have the highest utility. Our core is super slow and there isn't much to be done about it. Also audio emulation really requires the low level approach that VICE uses, not my hacky FFT approach that doesn't really work that well anyway. For a system that's known for it's audio I think that is pretty important. Also VICE has higher overall accuracy and compatibility.
Another option is Denise, which VICE's testrom tracker claims to be the most accurate. (Denise since 2.0 also supports some Amiga systems we don't emulate.)
