They just enable multiple SID chips in the software emulation. That 
platform is essentially something like a Raspberry Pi running VICE. Been 
discussed all over the C64 boards (or on The64computer's Facebook 
page).

It will be interesting enough how they implement the physical Cartridge 
slot properly. I don't expect that any cartridge that takes over the 
machine externally, attaching an own processor to access C64 memory and 
peripherals will ever work ...

Likewise, the blurb about "we, the creators of C64DTV" is completely 
misleading. Whoever that "we" is, it was neither Jeri nor any of the 
software developers / game fixers.

Besides: The DTV did not implement the SID filters.
