SID PC64 plugin for Winamp
What is it?
It's a Winamp plugin which plays .sid files on real C64 through a
PC64 cable
.
Installation
Connect PC with C64 through
PC64 cable
(switch off computers before doing this)
Copy
in_pc64.dll
file to ...\Winamp\Plugins
Run a
small program
on C64
Remarks
If you use Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 you'll have to log in as admin at least for first time
If you log in as user without admin proviledges use configuration option
Don't start UserPort service on Winamp start
Play what?
Multispeed songs are supported
Tunes which use samples are not supported
Change playing sub-tune number moving Winamp's position bar (if disabled there is only one sub-song)
The whole song must be transfered to C64 before playing, it can take few seconds - rasters on borders (c64), progress window (pc)
Plugin and c64 can hang from time to time - not all tunes have been tested. This piece of player's code taken from HVSC will not work:
LDA #$00 STA kapusta JSR $1000 kapusta NOP ...
Player on C64 is $6a bytes long (including IRQ and simple transfer routines) so don't say it's lame ;-)
Plugin was tested on Windows XP professional and Windows 2003 Server using Winamp 2.91, AMD Duron 1800
Whats new in version 2.0?

detailed song info
selectable parallel (LPT) port
custom playing time
inproved stability
transfer progress window
and more
