PRODUCT INFO:
This is a utility which uses the playsid.library to emulate the SID
and 6510 chip. The SID chip is the component in the C64 computer that
handles sound. The 6510 chip is the CPU of the C64, that means the
component that actually executes all programs. Because the Amiga
does not have these chips and others, you can't run C64 programs
directly on Amiga.
Now this utility lets you play all those C64 programs that produce
sound. As you probably know, the C64 has three sound channels (the
amiga has four). But this utility also allows use of the fourth
channel. This channel is the product of some special programming on
the C64, it isn't really a channel.
The purpose of this product is to make the best conversion of C64
sound on Amiga ever possible. If you think some sound isn't correctly
converted please let us know.
This utility is designed to work with true multitasking, under any
system version and any amiga model. It can be run from both Workbench
and CLI/Shell. It should work with any other program that don't use
sound or timing. If this isn't the fact please let us know.
Some time ago we released a similar product called "The 100 most
remembered C64 game-tunes". This product is the version 3.0 of that
program. The tunes on that demonstration disk are now also available
to this version. And up to date there are more than 400 tunes
available. We and others are also working with more.
