I don't know what I'm doing to make mine crash, but it's worked for a good
while for me in the last few minutes replying to your post. I really like the
interface.

The reason why some rush through and others not is that the original intent,
which machine the song was developed on, is included in the file. So the
players emulate the "correct" speed for each song individually.

I've wanted for some years to go through my disks and copy down the SIDs I
had, the way I remember them. I'm from the US, so mine were all fixed for
NTSC, and the experience of them is different than the more accurate files
people trade around.

So, first, in the menus, Settings -> Settings, set the default model you want
(PAL).

Then, in Settings menu again, click "Override PSID settings". That will force
the player to play with your default settings and ignore the values in the
PSID files.
