The big innovation was Pex's discovery of a way to output 8 bit samples by a single register write on the SID chip. The chip was never designed for outputing digital samples, and the approach leverages basically a bug in the chip design to achieve this.
The only innovative bit in this new demo (besides presuming to use a cartridge for storage) is the vector quantized compression technique.
