About:
Sc68 is a command-line music player specifically designed to render and play music files originally composed for the Atari ST and Amiga computer systems. It accurately emulates the hardware sound chips (like YM2149) and software audio drivers (like Protracker) of these vintage platforms. This tool provides a way to experience and preserve classic video game and demo scene music on modern operating systems.

Key Features:

Accurate emulation of Atari ST and Amiga sound hardware
Support for legacy music formats (e.g., SNDH, MOD)
Lightweight command-line interface
Cross-platform compatibility

Use Cases:

Retro gaming enthusiasts listening to classic soundtracks
Demo scene musicians analyzing historical audio tracks
Digital preservation of vintage computer music

Alternatives:

Audacious – General-purpose audio player requiring plugins for specific retro formats.
Mednafen – Multi-system emulator that plays music but is heavier than a dedicated player.
