St(r)yker Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 do you have enabled slightsid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I am so far unable to get this working. The emu just crashes. I have tried NTSC, PAL, various memory sizes. I do have the latest build, and I do have the slightsid enabled. I boot the ATR, type "XAUTORUN.", then just hang to a blank screen. Do I need to pass in a song name as a parameter? EDIT Well, just tried passing in song name, and it still crashes. EDIT #2 The SID Player 1.00 beta works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 try type: xdrive.lib :-) Oh - duh! I read "type" as meaning it used the xdrive.lib, not as the command . Sounds really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeron Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) The disk routines in xdrive.lib are a bit buggy. First, it won't run on a 65C02 or 65C816 because it uses undocumented instructions ($CB / SBX). Second, it doesn't follow the SIO spec and only waits for the ©omplete byte for about 25ms after reception of the (A)CK byte before retrying (it takes 208ms just for a disk revolution, much less any required seek and head settling time). This causes it to fail if you have accurate disk timing enabled in Altirra. Edited November 27, 2011 by phaeron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunsen Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I want to have one Slight-SID Cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteym5 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Why not make something similar to a dual POKEY board, but instead place one POKEY + one SID and have 7 voices instead of 3 or 4. I think a big limitation of either chip is the number of voices. Address the SID at $d280 above the POKEY. Maybe put 2 POKEYS + 2 SIDS on a board or cartridge. Didn't someone have a DUAL POKEY + a 3rd chip PCM sounds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You made my day, S(r )yker! That is just too cool! Anybody -- are there any docs or a "how to" use the Slight Sid feature of Altirra? Can one use Sid (C=) image files with a player that converts them "on the fly" or? -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Damn that makes me soo jealous.... Yet again we have been hit with numerous bills so my hope at getting an incognito are well and truly dashed here. But nice to see how good it is....Still jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 There's utilities around to turn SIDs back into C64 executables but not sure if they could relocate the Sid chip references to work on SlightSid. Sid addition is a common upgrade for C= Plus4 and it sometimes uses a different base address so maybe there are existing tools to help. Incognito isn't required - the Sid cart should work on any machine. I'd not mind one too but Sid chips are becoming hard to find and people want too much for them - often the same price as a full working C64.

TMR Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sid addition is a common upgrade for C= Plus4 and it sometimes uses a different base address so maybe there are existing tools to help. i'm fairly sure most people were doing the relocating by hand and there's significant variations even in different generations of the same music driver to make automating the process a bugger.

+Larry Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 OK, do I have this right? If I boot the SidPlayer image (with SIDPLAY1.COM) and have the SlightSid feature enabled in Altirra 2.0 or 2.1, then one can play the songs on the menu. These songs have either been written for the SidPlayer/SlightSid or have been converted. But as far as taking an off-the-shelf C= SID composition, then the memory locations, etc. have to be adjusted to play on the Sid Player (i.e. SP has no built-in relocation, etc.). @XXL -- Sorry, I'm confused -- "use rocket_science_relocator if you don't want use SlightSID Player for C64 SIDs or want to use SIDs in your own programs." Do you mean use the relocator if I DO want to use a C64 SID composition with the SidPlayer? Thanks, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Do you mean use the relocator if I DO want to use a C64 SID composition with the SidPlayer? no. use it if you want use a c64 SID composition with your own program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 OK, I've got to ask it... If all of the thousands of SID tunes would need to be "hand tuned" to work with the Atari (no available machine conversion?), then wouldn't it be heaps easier just to use a PC player or VICE (etc.) to directly play the tunes, instead of the conversion, then playing them on an Atari emulator? Machine conversion and a real SID cartridge would change the equation, IMO. If you are going to use an emulator, what difference does it make if it is Altirra or VICE or? Maybe the cartridge could/will make the necessary relocations/conversions? -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I recorded Cybernoid II off Altirra and converted it to an mp3. I've been playing it on my headphones at work so much the last few days. Top tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
