HVSC in CSDb
There have been requests from time to time about the possibility to add information about which SIDs are used in releases, based on HVSC.
This feature have now been added! :)
For now the feature is very simple, but it is made in such a way that there is room for many improvements. Here is a list of a some ideas I've though about:
- Possibility to attach sceners to the SIDs, which would be the composers of course. :) (I'll try to automatically attach as many as possible with a script first, from the info in the SID-headers)
- Some way to search for SIDs
- Possibillity to upload new SIDs.
- Perhaps make it possible to comment, discuss and vote for SIDs?
- .. and the ones I thought about but can't remember right now. :)
For now I got information about the 33'000 SIDs in the latests release of HVSC in the CSDb database, and from the edit-page of any release, you will now find a little place where you can add SIDs to the release, based on it's HVSC path.
For now there are only very few of these connections made, but I hope all of you will add a few from time to time. :)
There is also a little SID-info-page for all the SIDs with most of the info found in the SID-headers. The only way to get to this page for now, is to follow the link from the release-page which uses this SID (if someone have attached the SID to the release.)
.... or by going to http://noname.c64.org/csdb/sid/?id=<somenumber> ;)
Enjoy. :)
And as always, comments are welcome.
Thanks to the HVSC-crew! :) |

I'm missing still info. I think it could be somehow implemented too. It would be also cool if the still info was extedndable (editable) in CSDB and then reexported back to HVSC format ;-)). |

Just an idea (I hope I don't cause a landslide of work for us with this): Make a checkbox if a sid isn't in HVSC. Make that info accessible to interested people (like the HVSC Crew). |

\ now equals / when adding SIDs. :)
Ideas about sorting and still noted.
I can see the idea about the Still info, and I am keeping the idea in mind when thinking about future expansions for this. :)
@Steppe: Not sure what you mean about a checkbox? Where?
If you are thinking about trying to add a SID which is not in HVSC, and therefor you can not add it, I think it should just not be possible for now. When I get around to making the 'upload a SID' feature that would be the other option. |

Good.
Perff. He means it for standard CSDB music releases which doesn't have entry in CSDB (yet)
And possibility to display list of tunes marked this way. |

@Perff: In the edit page, maybe right below the sid search form.
0 This sid isn't in HVSC, someone please rip it.
Geddit? We HVSC folx could check back here regularly, call the page with "sids that need ripping" (you have to make this, of course, but a very simple list will do). Then we check the release, rip the sid (if needed), and uncheck the checkbox (probably even with another checkbox saying "It's ripped now, don't waste your time anymore".)
Maybe I'm taking it all too far, just give me a slap on the forehead to get me back into reality. ;-) |

args that will take forever to tag all our releases with the proper sids =P
one thing that would be nice.... an option to flag what sid was used where, like intro/game for cracks or part# for demos,notefile etc
edit: btw i found another ripping challange for you: Mongobong =) |

Argh, that would take even longer to tag correctly... But right, a "nice to have". People can still leave the corresponding field empty if it's too much of a hassle. |

Ouch, digis over FLI... that calls for Inge or J0x...
Wasn't that just a tune that falls into the category "one looped sample played over and over again" anyway? I have a faint memory about having inspected this little demo in the past already. |

Hmph.
Reset and sys 4096 to get just the music from the main part.
I'll finish a proper rip tomorrow while I'm killing time at work :)
