The last update to that page anyway, the actual software is from 1996
and the accuracy of the emulation is noticeably worse than most later
SID players. However it does consume far, far, fewer system resources
which means it even works on my old 486. Fun interface as well.

This is the original SIDplay homepage, which also lists Open Cubic
Player and VACSiD as other options for DOS:

OpenCP:

VACSiD:

  got it from here instead:
