NemeSIDs Nemesis1's PlaySID collection Stardate: 29-Dec-1994 Greetings!!! Welcome to my most stupendous collection of C64 music! In this collection you'll find every single piece of PSID that can be found in my collection, just in case any of you people had missed out on the other packs that are floating around. As I began work on this madness, people started to show more and more interest in this project, as many had not gotten some of these packs/didn't feel bothered to get them/were too blind to spot them ;) But anyway, most of all, people really wished to get the whole lot in one nice go! :-) So I tried to sit down to do something about it... I DID do a major cleaning throughout most of the collection to correct and/or identify the composers of the songs... Some are therefore in different drawers to what others might think... And duplicates were taken and dumped right away! (in worst cases, there were 4 copies of the same PSID but in a different rip each time, with a different name each time :-P I hate that...) But now, on brighter note, I have finished this (kinda... ;) and am therefore releasing this now, so all of you can enjoy this, and so you Ozzies can grab this lot before the FTP charges are cranked sky-high :( (Hi Sumaleth & Arkay) All the tunes found in my collection were taken from: * PlaySID v2.0ß, v2.1, v2.2, v3.0, (lots of people are missing the v2 ones) * 2*1.4mb .zip archive a friend of mine found on some PC site, * a .DMS file I found on ftp.funet.fi (Frantic c64 music show), * Ultimate C64 collection #4 by Deadbeat/The Sharks C64 (where are the others?) * Ripp Off 1-4 by Jan 'Rambones' 'Diabelez' Harries, (he fixed some songs :) * 2 PSID .lha's put on Aminet in Oct/Nov by Guido Gouweloos * Foxx1.lha (found on funet) compiled by Foxx (hiya dude! :) * 2 songs by Andreas Spreen spread as Andi-Music (or something like that...) =>A total of 'only' 1952 PSIDs :) (Actually 2042, but I've killed 90 PSIDs in a cleaning trip I did...) About my List, and the filenotes: In some lines in the Author/Comment field, I have put ??? or (?) which means I either have no idea who did it or am not too certain. Extra info about these would be greatly appreciated. #rk = Raster Killers (68000 chokes on these :( (not sure I found them all as I didn't have time to check all the songs :-P >>>PSID.blablabl means I found another copy of the same song by different name. It might be useful to you and it might not... definetily not if its one of those >>>PSID.songname-xx (xx=number) as these are totally out of whack of any other numbering system (except my own ;) NOTE: If you have ANY OTHERS that are NOT in this collection, then PLEASE email / snailmail them to me! Also: If you know who did some of these songs that have no composer info, then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know right away!!! I'll add all extra infos in a text file in (hopefully) upcoming add-on packs :) How to play these songs: There are now quite a few players supporting PlaySID, so the choice is yours! Delitracker II v2.07+, EaglePlayer 1.53+, APlayer (1.0 supports only .info+data booooo :( , Hippoplayer (erm.. v1.67 ? gee dunno really :) and of course everybodies favorite: PlaySID (v3.0 is the current version). For PC dudes, there is a PSID player which is written for SoundBlaster, but I can't remember its name, sorry! The Future: The idea is to release add-on packs as soon as I've been flooded with all the songs people have been "promising" to send me, or simply when I've gotten enough songs to deserve an add-on pack :) (so you can allready tune-in and wait for NemeSIDs-16.lha and up ;) But since it's X-Mas at the moment, I really can't blame people for being lazy ;) But if you do any c64 music ripping, then please send me a copy of all you've grabbed, so I can include them in everybodies favorite PSID pack ;) (besides that, it's always nice to have all in one place, using same/similar setup, so there won't be any problems about missing out on more cool C64 songs B-) Spreading: Across the Universe.... But at minimum payment, this is freeware, or share-ware (share and enjoy ,) That means you are NOT allowed to charge $100 for a copy of each file, only the uttermost minimum, PLEASE! (see Fred Fish guidelines... (even that is almost too much...)). And this readme must ALWAYS be included!!! That isn't too much to ask for is it ? Credits and greetings: > All the C64 composers for their great music! > All the rippers for bringing this to the rest of us! :) > Ron Birk & Per Haakan Sundell for the great PlaySID! 8-) > Kimmo Veijalainen for the great idea about this compilation's name (so blame him! :) > All the guys who have emailed me/bothered me/cheered me for doing this (thanx for showing interest :-) > And finally to all my friends, who think I should pop over to the shrink for actually doing all this (and mod.sheeps ;)) > That includes all those who think they are my friends, internationally 8) > No thanx to myself for self-inflicted brain-damage (hehe ;) > Special Hello's to my German friend Christian Marz, thanx for everything! End notes: Since it's 02:13 in the night & I have to wake up in less than 5 hours to go to work, I'm leaving this in a state of blissful braindeath, and intend to crash into bed... like.... right now! G'Night! Sjaumst seinna! Contact me: Snailmail: Agust Arni Jonsson Haaleitisbraut 36, 2.h.t.v.

The compilation itself is (C) 1994 Agust Arni Jonsson. You may spread this as long as there is no extra cost included except for NORMAL copying charges... (like the price of a floppy/floppies ONLY, and not a single dime more, Please!) CDROM publishers should PRETTY PLEASE contact me first!!! At the moment, Aminet is the one to spread this collection with my blessings... and I'm not that hard to deal with :) So how about it ??? It's not that much to ask for... I just don't won't people to be making big $$$ for spreading this to some poor unfortunate / unsuspecting suckers... (and no, I don't want to make big $$$ either, it's kinda against my morals) (but I won't say no to unwanted A4000s, P90s, $1000000 checks etc... if you insist ;) Disclaimer: #include Standard_Disclaimer If your computer starts making funny noises, and starts emitting funny coloured smoke while using any of the files included in this collection, then don't call/blame me... I havn't programmed & included any devious virus in this collection (except for the love of C64 music, which should spread like wildfire ;) And I havn't sent any psychic bombs to your computer... Instead try asking that gremlin sitting beside you... (what gremlin ? you don't see him ? hmmm... :) Anyway, the funny noise is probably PlaySID playing C64 music, and you're hearing it for the first time in your life >8)
