SIDPLAY v1.00 (24/11/1999)
--------------------------
+ Help was updated to reflect the new changes
* Fixed problem where the thread that was playing
the song was not stopped when the program was
shut down.This would cause intermitent SYS3175
on program shutdown if a tune was playing when
the main window was closed.
* Fixed an internal variable that would cause an
intermitent SYS3175 on startup.
* Changed Mixer Options so that ALL channels always
start on 50% balance.It was previously set to be
0% , 100 % , 0% , 100% by default since this is
the best effect for full panning.However if you
want that then you can set it yourself.It only
makes a difference in stereo mode anyway.
+ Added PlayList and STILView Icons to the Toolbar.
* Main window can now be on top of the other
windows if you click it.Actually it can now
be at any level in the z-order according to
where you put it.This fixes the problem where
it was always at the bottom of the z-order.
+ Added ability to select multiple tunes for
certain operations such as adding to playlist
etc. This is the IBM Extended Selection style.
* Main window filename used to have full path.
This would go off the edge of the screen.Has
now been trimmed to have only the Filename.
+ Tested under higher resolutions. The following
additional resolutions are now supported.
1600x1200
1800x1440
+ Added ability to Add tunes to the PlayList from
the Dir Based I/O window. You can add one ore more
selected tunes.
+ Added PlayList for the Sid Tunes. PlayLists can
be Loaded , Saved or Appended. Sort functions
were added and extended selection allowed. The
PlayList Size & Position is also saved.
+ New Environment variable HVSC_PATH added so that
tunes are found in a defualt path.This is for the
STIL View.
* DosFindClose() was missing from Dir Based I/O.
Although this never caused any problem yet I
put it in anyway because it may have left a
handle open.
+ Added support for the STIL (Sid Tune Info List)
for each sid tune. Stores the STIL's window
position & size as well.
* When selecting another track from a tune with
> 1 track the total tracks dissapears & only says the
track number. Now fixed so that it is always shown
as NN/TT where NN is the current track and TT is the
Total tracks.
SIDPLAY Alpha v0.9.18 (17/07/1998)
----------------------------------
* Fixed a bug where selecting 16 Bit sampling
caused distortion of the samples. I was always
using SIDEMU_UNSIGNED_PCM. Has been changed
to use SIDEMU_UNSIGNED_PCM for 8 Bit sampling
and SIDEMU_SIGNED_PCM for 16 Bit sampling
+ Added help library files
* Fixed some spelling mistakes in the interface.
+ Tested under the following resolutions:
640x480
800x600
1024x768
1152x864
1280x1024
This fixes the problem where some people were
seing some of the windows clipping the child
controls.
- Changed the behaviour of CHILD Windows so that
they now DO NOT follow the main sidplay Window.
This was added in the previous release but was
regressed because it became anoying.
* Fixed bug where if you pressed the 2x or 4x
speed buttons, and then pressed the Next/Prev
track buttons while playing at those speeds, the
song would play at normal speed, but the text for
the speed would be incorrect , and the buttons
would be disabled incorrectly
+ Added functionality for Pause Button.Fully working
* Fixed problem with Master Controls in mixer. Turning
the volume all the way off or using the mute on the
Master Control would not turn the volume all the way off.
You could still hear the tune a small amount. Now can
no longer hear the tune at all. Also removed the Master
Balance since it made no sense to have individual
control over the channels and all of the channels at the
same time.
* Fixed 'OTHER' frequncies in Sid Options. Changing to a
value other than the 3 Radio Button values , by spinning
the buttons or by typing the value in directly would not
be updated until the second attempt , or at worst would
produce an invalid value , which would cause strange
sounds to be produced.
+ Added Toolbar for various features.
+ Put all Sid Tune Info on the Main Screen now.
- Removed the Sid Tune Info Dialog since it is no
longer needed.
+ Added Tune Speed description to the Sid Tune Info
+ Track display now displays current track and total tracks
in tune. e.g. 02/08.
+ Finished the implementation of the filter dialog. This now
works for all tunes ( I Hope! ). So there should no longer
be any sys3183 Floating Point errors. Also added a Default
button to allow the return to some sensible filter values. The
filter is enabled by default.
+ Added ability to save window positions. On starting the program
the old positions will be auto loaded. On exiting the program the
positions will be auto saved.
+ Added ability to save a default path for the Dir Based I/O dialog.
+ Added more menu items under options to allow you to show or
hide the toolbar.
SIDPLAY Alpha v0.9 (26/03/1998)
-------------------------------
+ Initial release to public.
+ Updated to v1.36.6 of Sidplay Emulator
+ Added Dir Based I/O window for easier
traversal of SID Tunes.
+ Added 4 Channel Voice Mixer
+ Added support for Volume Control Modes

* Fixed problem where forcing clock speed
didn't work
+ Made the voices always Pan Positioned
in Stereo mode by default (Can change in mixer)
+ Added track timer for current tune
+ Made windows open at the Sidplayer rather
than where they were in composition editor.
+ Any CHILD windows will now follow the
main Sidplay Window.
+ Allowed the use of the Close & Hide buttons
on the Frame Window, as well as the System
Menu
+ Now takes an argument of file name to load
at startup (Not Required) This was done for
Drag & Droping Sid tunes onto the .exe file.
It requires changing the properties of the
Executable
