   CGSC Sid collection for real C64's and C

   Hi all,   
      
   I have been working on a Commodore project for the scene to improve on   
   a rework on the original Compute Gazette Sid collection CGSC Peter Weighill   
   worked very hard with this   
   but renamed to long filenames exceeding the 8-bit C64 16-character limit.   
   I'm in no way putting Peter down for his work is efforts he rescued tons of   
   Sid music files.   
      
   The renaming process is now finished so after while will be available for   
   downloading the following   
   the same as Peter Weighil's collection:   
   CGSC Sid files (Standard) packed into .zip archive   
   CGSC Sid files in .d81 images   
   CGSC C64/C128 Sid Players (not sure about Editors)   
   CGSC Sid Fest's shows in .d64 images   
   To unpack the sidfiles in zip format on a real C64'S/128:UNZIP64V214   
   You may need a 1581 or larger drives and UIEC2SD.   
      
   When this is all online I will make this announcement.   
   Thanks goes to Peter Weighill he has plenty of server space for a devoted   
   website   
   NOT available yet!  Please don't bother Mr Weighill this website will not take   
   very long.   
      
   I also tested all Sid files mainly the   
   .MUS   
   .STR   
   .WDS   
   extensions on my UIEC2SD using the stereoplayerv10.3 since these files are   
   mixed with   
   mono and Enhanced stereo Sid files.   
   The Stereo player will work on the UIEC2SD   
   On the UIEC2SD set the device number to device 8 or 9   
   In stereo files DELETE STEREO.CONFIG (player in drive configuration)   
   Boot stereoplayerv10.3 or earlier   
   Note: boot stereo player   
   DONT try to load a song YET!   
   Press C= logo key   
   Halfway down is F (fastload)   
   Pressing F enables ir disables FASTLOAD (fastload is not compatible with   
   UIEC2SD)   
   Disarm fastload, now press the left back arrow key to save current config.   
   From there you can enjoy loading and playing Sid music, if you disable   
   fastload, some may know about   
   this but for those who don't they have a right to know.   
      
   I will announce when this is online.   
      
   I wanted to do something to help the Commodore scene and when I discovered   
   these issues I jumped on this   
   because of need to have more Sid music and a lot if this BTW us from Q-Link   
   Peter Weighill rescued corrupted and bad files, the best he could.   
      
   Till then.
