- Nemesis1's PlaySID collection
- Stardate: 29-Dec-1994
-
- Greetings!!!
-
- Welcome to my most stupendous collection of C64 music! In this collection
- you'll find every single piece of PSID that can be found in my collection,
- just in case any of you people had missed out on the other packs that are
- floating around. As I began work on this madness, people started to show
- more and more interest in this project, as many had not gotten some of
- these packs/didn't feel bothered to get them/were too blind to spot them ;)
- But anyway, most of all, people really wished to get the whole lot in one
- nice go! :-) So I tried to sit down to do something about it...
-
- I DID do a major cleaning throughout most of the collection to correct and/or
- identify the composers of the songs... Some are therefore in different drawers
- to what others might think... And duplicates were taken and dumped right away!
- (in worst cases, there were 4 copies of the same PSID but in a different rip
- each time, with a different name each time :-P I hate that...)
-
- But now, on brighter note, I have finished this (kinda... ;) and am therefore
- releasing this now, so all of you can enjoy this, and so you Ozzies can grab
- this lot before the FTP charges are cranked sky-high :( (Hi Sumaleth & Arkay)
-
- All the tunes found in my collection were taken from:
- * PlaySID v2.0ß, v2.1, v2.2, v3.0, (lots of people are missing the v2 ones)
- * 2*1.4mb .zip archive a friend of mine found on some PC site,
- * a .DMS file I found on ftp.funet.fi (Frantic c64 music show),
- * Ultimate C64 collection #4 by Deadbeat/The Sharks C64 (where are the others?)
- * Ripp Off 1-4 by Jan 'Rambones' 'Diabelez' Harries, (he fixed some songs :)
- * 2 PSID .lha's put on Aminet in Oct/Nov by Guido Gouweloos
- * Foxx1.lha (found on funet) compiled by Foxx (hiya dude! :)
- * 2 songs by Andreas Spreen spread as Andi-Music (or something like that...)
-
- =>A total of 'only' 1952 PSIDs :) (Actually 2042, but I've killed 90 PSIDs in
- a cleaning trip I did...)
-
- About my List, and the filenotes:
- In some lines in the Author/Comment field, I have put ??? or (?) which means I
- either have no idea who did it or am not too certain. Extra info about these
- would be greatly appreciated. #rk = Raster Killers (68000 chokes on these :(
- (not sure I found them all as I didn't have time to check all the songs :-P
- >>>PSID.blablabl means I found another copy of the same song by different name.
- It might be useful to you and it might not... definetily not if its one of
- those >>>PSID.songname-xx (xx=number) as these are totally out of whack of any
- other numbering system (except my own ;)
-
- NOTE:
- If you have ANY OTHERS that are NOT in this collection, then PLEASE email /
- snailmail them to me!
- Also: If you know who did some of these songs that have no composer info,
- then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know right away!!! I'll add all extra
- infos in a text file in (hopefully) upcoming add-on packs :)
-
- How to play these songs:
- There are now quite a few players supporting PlaySID, so the choice is yours!
- Delitracker II v2.07+, EaglePlayer 1.53+, APlayer (1.0 supports only
- .info+data booooo :( , Hippoplayer (erm.. v1.67 ? gee dunno really :) and
- of course everybodies favorite: PlaySID (v3.0 is the current version).
- For PC dudes, there is a PSID player which is written for SoundBlaster,
- but I can't remember its name, sorry!
-
- The Future:
- The idea is to release add-on packs as soon as I've been flooded with all the
- songs people have been "promising" to send me, or simply when I've gotten enough
- songs to deserve an add-on pack :) (so you can allready tune-in and wait for
- NemeSIDs-16.lha and up ;) But since it's X-Mas at the moment, I really can't
- blame people for being lazy ;) But if you do any c64 music ripping, then please
- send me a copy of all you've grabbed, so I can include them in everybodies
- favorite PSID pack ;) (besides that, it's always nice to have all in one place,
- using same/similar setup, so there won't be any problems about missing out on
- more cool C64 songs B-)
-
- Spreading:
- Across the Universe.... But at minimum payment, this is freeware, or
- share-ware (share and enjoy ,) That means you are NOT allowed to charge
- $100 for a copy of each file, only the uttermost minimum, PLEASE! (see
- Fred Fish guidelines... (even that is almost too much...)). And this readme
- must ALWAYS be included!!! That isn't too much to ask for is it ?
-

- End notes: Since it's 02:13 in the night & I have to wake up in less than
- 5 hours to go to work, I'm leaving this in a state of blissful braindeath,
- and intend to crash into bed... like.... right now! G'Night!

- Sjaumst seinna!

- Copyright:
- Original copyright belongs to those who wrote those c64 songs, and to those who
- did those utils I included here.
- The compilation itself is (C) 1994 Agust Arni Jonsson. You may spread this as
- long as there is no extra cost included except for NORMAL copying charges...
- (like the price of a floppy/floppies ONLY, and not a single dime more, Please!)
- CDROM publishers should PRETTY PLEASE contact me first!!! At the moment, Aminet
- is the one to spread this collection with my blessings... and I'm not that hard
- to deal with :) So how about it ??? It's not that much to ask for... I just
- don't won't people to be making big $$$ for spreading this to some poor
- unfortunate / unsuspecting suckers... (and no, I don't want to make big $$$
- either, it's kinda against my morals) (but I won't say no to unwanted A4000s,
- P90s, $1000000 checks etc... if you insist ;)

- If your computer starts making funny noises, and starts emitting funny coloured
- smoke while using any of the files included in this collection, then don't
- call/blame me... I havn't programmed & included any devious virus in this
- collection (except for the love of C64 music, which should spread like wildfire ;)
- And I havn't sent any psychic bombs to your computer... Instead try asking that
- gremlin sitting beside you... (what gremlin ? you don't see him ? hmmm... :)
- Anyway, the funny noise is probably PlaySID playing C64 music, and you're
- hearing it for the first time in your life >8)
