- 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.
