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.
