Silly Question, sorry!
Hey y'all!
I'm sorry, I believe this is a silly question, please don't laugh, I'm pretty new in Commodore stuff and I really don't know it:
Why do I always find ".sid" files, when I'm looking for C64 music on the Internet?
I wanna have the music from the C64 game "AIRWOLF" on my PC and I wanted to download it from the net. But all I can find are .sid files and no one of my PC music players can play them. I asked some PC freaks, but they've never heard of this file format.
What is it and with which player can I use those files?
Are there any ".wav" or ".mid" files of the AIRWOLF-music?
Thanx!
Greetz, Airfish |

Er, mostly... yes. ;-)
Apart from the ones in HVSC with a _PSID.sid extension. They were in fact tailored to be played on poor resource computers with libsidplay1 based players.
But in the near future every _PSID.sid will have a C64 compatible counterpart as well, so the digi freax can enjoy those on a real C64 as well. |

There are also some tunes that are not PlaySID specific, work well under Sidplay2/w but refuse to work properly on a real C64. The number of them should considerably decrease after the forthcoming HVSC Update #36. :-) |
