SidPlay for your smartphone...

Remember all those nasty sounding little tunes on your C64? Well now you can play them on your smartphone.

This site has a lot of sid files for your listening pleasure :

http://www.hvsc.c64.org/

Basically extract the zip and copy the contents onto your phone somewhere. It comes with a sid file to get you started. You need to pick Action-Play of the menu to get it started and up down on the list will change songs. To change volume, use the volume buttons on the side of your phone.

I have had it crash and require a battery pull, but this is on specific sid files rather than in general. I'm gonna see if I can track down this problem... but beware.

oh you little beauty, if you like sids, try this zip file....

21,272 sid files

its 37mb, but has almost every sid tune ever made

or, if you prefer, browse to here to browse by category and download what you need :lol:

may i recommend the Ocean Loader tunes (by Martin Galway), which are just totally amazing, as are The Last Ninja tunes (by Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees, the first last ninja tunes where the best)

oh, one thing that is missing m8, is the ability to choose sub-tunes. C64 tunes usually contained more than one tune in a single sid file :D

ps.... what do you mean nasty sounding? these things where state of the art in the day, compare these to one channel spectrum music hehe :)

Sub tunes????

Oh my god... I might have to try and understand this thing to do that... I just tweaked the setup and the gui

This single app has just convinced my friend (another ex-64 fan) to get the MPX.

We too met hubbard - I bought him a 4am breakfast following last years brighton gig. 8)

Great app!!! Maybe somebody could tweak this player further to look better on QVGA smartphones? This is how it looks in my HTC S710... "Name" , "Author" & "Copyright" at the top looks a bit screwed up as you can see....

Otherwise it works great, would be nice if it had support for subtunes though...
