The "Name this SID" thread

This is a thread where people can ask for the name and composer of SID tunes from demos, if they don't know what they're called. Useful if people want to download the SID or update the database entry with music credits. It's helpful even if you only know the names of one or a few SIDs, and providing a link to the downloadable SID would be nice too.

I'm looking for all SID tunes used in this demo, anyone knows what they are called?

It IS Zamzara tune #1, but the music in the intro starts about 1:58 into the tune.

Quote: Wow!! Thanks a million - definitely an excellent knowledge of SIDs! :)

As for the Poor demo, I have some of the parts in separate T64 files but I guess it wouldn't help much.
However, I'm not sure if Brainstorm 3's intro would be Zamzara (or I can't find the tune in question in the SID).
Thanks again!


It's not just knowledge of sid files, it's impossible to know every 36000 sids =)
Just dump the memory, find the music data and search for hexpatterns in hvsc dir.
The missing parts as t64 would be nice to try to rebuild the d64 replacing the broken ones.

Uploaded my copy of Poor/Biascrusher which I think is working, no time to check it right now but I believe I've been able to watch all parts even though some might have to be loaded separately due to the lousy linking.

Great Zyron =) Sids identified and added to the entry.
Part B.* doesn't decrunch if loaded from the previous part because the decruncher expects $2d/$2e set correctly before decrunching, but they're not set after loading.
Patching the file to set them before decrunching is trivial, I can provide a "101%" fixed d64. ;)

Thanks!! Well, the Poor/Biascrusher question seems to be solved then... :)

- On another note, to me it seems that the Mozicart tune 'Luminous' has two versions. The one used in demos differ from the version currently in HVSC, but only very slightly: listening _by ear_ (on SidAmp), one note in the arpeggio lead is played a bit higher at 0:20. (Don't know if it's really two different versions or a question of player software setting.)

- A bonus question: I've had a melody on mind that I heard on the C64 around 1990 but don't remember whether it was a demo, cracktro or a game. I have tried to recreate it in BuzzTracker (I'm from the PC basically :)) as I'm not familiar with SID trackers (yet?). The arps, bass and percussion were added by me, I only remember the (lead) melody. Can someone help in identifying it?

Thanks again in advance!

The last two bars of the theme made me think of Amyloid #1

Does anyone know the name of the SID in the part with bouncing raster bars (just after the sampled Ma-Na-Ma-Na Muppet song), and also the next part with the picture of a warrior? Thanks in advance! :)

The first one is tune #2 from Noisy Pillars (tune 1). The next is tune #1 from Thunder Force.
