sidplay for symbian 3rd edition
i'd like to run sidplay on my mobile phone, which is gifted with a symbian 3rd edition core. pre-v03 libsidplay sadly won't do, and so far i haven't seen a successor to the existing libsidplay-version.
now, pygmy project's scenetone does work on s60v03, but the sid emulation is horrid to say the least.
next to putting the whole hvsc as mp3s on my phone, what would the average 3rd edition symbian-user do? is there anything else that is capable of playing sid on said version? |

I read it too fast, didn't notice the scenetone. :-)
I'm just idly browsing CSDB while sitting in a boring full day meeting.. So sue me. :-)
And yeah, it sucks but at least it's something. |

lol...i bet if i made a handheld c64 you would bbbuy it. asus eeepc are crap!
wouldn't you prefer an ultra-slim real c64 in your pocket? built in flash ram (like mmc 64) and headphone socket for listening to hvsc?? come on... |

people who claim that the eeepc is crap just aren't man enough to handle it. :) though, i'd love to have a wifi-enabled c64 in that size too, that's out of question.
back on topic - i went with the mp3-option for now, and once that 6581-8580-recording site is back up, i'll dive into their stash. too bad they have this major problem with the timing of some of the tunes. |

Well. the EEEPC and Aspire one are full laptops in a mini size although the SSD on the Aspire one is real slow. For emulation it runs WinVice and HoxS64 at full speed so why the need for a custom mini c64 when you have a full featured laptop able to emulate for around £150 new |

Would recommend WMA (easily half the size or less at similar or even better quality than MP3) |

Yes. True that WMA is awkward to edit, but if the point is to play it only one a machine that supports it without editing then its a better an option than mp3 size/quality wise. If size is not the issue then highbitrate mp3 is without a doubt the better option |

Well, if you want small, non-proprietary and high quality, then Ogg Vorbis is the only way. |

Have not done any tests myself but according to sources online, WMA offers great quality when compressing data at low bandwidth mono. If using higher bitrates, then the advantage of WMA decreases in comparison to the other codecs available. eg Ogg vorbis. For fitting in huge amounts of C64 compressed audio, the priority is to find a codec that can compress to very small sizes at high quality. |

actually i own a couple of eeepc so i can say that.
now my xps m1730 (2.8ghz extreme 8800 sli) can handle c64 stuffs but it's just to big for my pocket. maybe i'll contact them dodgy chinese clone makers and get them to make an mp4 player that plays sid files and not just nes games! lol |
