Use the following address: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~oyvindje/ Introduction to C64Player ------------------------- C64Player is a program simular to PlaySid, but plays the music on a C64 instead of the Amiga. Emulation of the 6581 Sidchip is getting better and better, but we don`t think it has got good enought. So we always use the C64 when we want to listen to good C64 music. But the idea of having all the music-files on the Amiga-harddisk instead of using C64 disk is great. This program combines those two tings: Start the program, use a requester to select your favorite tune, and the the music will be transfered to the C64 and replayed there. It it easy and fast to use. Some major disadvantages ------------------------ - The program work only with the first PlaySid-format: One file for the music-rouine and data, and one icon-file for information and addresses. (One-file-format not supported.) - Packer-formats are not supported. - The replayer-routine can handle only music without samples. This is because we use interrupts for checking the parallell-port. But this way be taken care of in a future verson. System Requirements ------------------- This program requires the following: - One Amiga computer with OS3.0 or above. - One Commodore 64/128 computer. - Parallell cable (archive includes cable-discription). - Software on both computers. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2050 1309 36.1% 03-Feb-95 18:07:52 +C64PLAY-$0800.64 2050 1324 35.4% 03-Feb-95 18:04:10 +C64PLAY-$8000.64 19012 10401 45.2% 23-Sep-95 11:42:42 +C64Player.Amiga 3619 1072 70.3% 08-Feb-95 21:32:20 +C64Player.Amiga.info 17625 7043 60.0% 11-Apr-97 10:37:32 +C64PlayerEnglish.Guide 1473 896 39.1% 15-Feb-95 20:13:18 +C64PlayerEnglish.Guide.info 20231 8526 57.8% 15-Apr-97 17:07:08 +C64PlayerSwedish.Guide 2489 1699 31.7% 02-Sep-92 16:06:46 +C64PlayerSwedish.Guide.info 23290 10228 56.0% 01-Aug-94 20:37:28 +Connect.IFF 1473 896 39.1% 15-Feb-95 19:35:34 +Connect.IFF.info 27992 14046 49.8% 12-Aug-94 10:31:22 +playsid.library 43628 28530 34.6% 16-Mar-93 12:06:54 +reqtools.library -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 164932 85970 47.8% 22-Apr-97 12:12:40 12 files
