Added 2 sidchip support, which means I can do a soft of 'software panning' effect on the channels. I'm still working on it which is why it's just oscillating back and forth for now. Apologies to Jeff whose song I'm using for testing. :)

Interesting to see that 'Shadows of the Wind' prototype in the Sega Channel documentary. When I joined Images/Climax in the early '90s I played that demo and wrote some test music for it, but didn't get around to putting them onto the Genesis in the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh7s...
