####################################################################### # The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) Bugged Tunes List # # Maintained by iAN CooG # # Last Updated: July 11, 2021. # ####################################################################### # # # The purpose of this text document is to highlight all the tunes # # that are still left in HVSC which have bugs in the data which # # either send a tune out of synch, play a wrong note, or even worse, # # crash Sidplay2 or a real C64. It also gives you all the incomplete # # rips that are in HVSC. Although the HVSC Crew are an extremely # # active and busy bunch of SID fans, there are occasions where some # # of the older tunes in the collection have not been checked by the # # original ripper before submitting to HVSC and so could have gone in # # with bugs. We are doing all we can to eliminate this, but would # # appreciate it if you could let me know of any bugged tunes you find.# # # # If you are reporting a bugged tune that you have found in HVSC # # that is not on the below list, please give the full HVSC filename # # (inlcuding its path) and if concise but precise details of the # # problem (see examples below for suitable format.) The name in # # brackets indicates who reported the bug and so you will be credited # # the same way if you happen to find one. # # # # If you do manage to fix a bugged tune, please mail it to myself # # with a description of what had to be done to fix it. # # # # NOTE: This lists only lists bugs where the SID file is definitely # # incompatible with Sidplay2 or a real C64. # # # # Some of these tunes may also have been fixed which will appear in a # # future HVSC update. # # # ####################################################################### ############################## # Bugged tunes as of HVSC 76 # ############################## /DEMOS/A-F/Digital_II.sid BUG: Original has part of the samples overwritten by a ML monitor, hence playing "garbage" at some point (0:32-0:33 and 1:02-1:03). This rip has that sample repaired. No other good source known. (iAN CooG) /DEMOS/UNKNOWN/Misc_Tune_05.sid BUG: Subtune #1 plays bad notes at 0:46. No bad reads.

No good version found. /MUSICIANS/A/Audial_Arts/Prijt_Francois/Blaze_of_Glory_Holland_Promo.sid BUG: Falls out of synch at around the 5:10 mark. This bug doesn't occur in the demo as the next part gets loaded after around one minute of playtime. (Mariusz) /MUSICIANS/B/Bakewell_Dwayne/Crappy_Rap.sid BUG: Falls out of synch at around the 1:22 mark. (Mariusz) /MUSICIANS/C/Cane/Brainball.sid BUG: Wrong notes from 2:00.

Feekzoid confirmed that this tune was never finished: "Comfortably Numb was never finished, I actually stopped working on it about 1 min in... but when I discovered the file years later I jumbled up the patterns a bit in order to make it follow the original song as best as possible.. but yes... as you discovered... it falls apart later on." (Stephan Schmid) /MUSICIANS/F/Feekzoid/SceptreMix.sid BUG: Goes bad at around 2:30, clearly audible wrong notes at around 3:30. Feekzoid confirmed that this tune was never finished: "...the Sceptre tune was never finished. The tune was written at the end of my C64 days... and abandoned. Years later there was a bit of a clamouring for more SIDs, and I uncovered it on an old floppy disk, so brought them back for the hell of it." (Stephan Schmid) /MUSICIANS/G/Goto80/Rent-A-Cop_Reloaded_title.sid BUG: Badreads in the original, can't be repaired. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/H/HTD/Katastrof.sid BUG: Wrong notes from 1:47, bad tune in the original demo. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/J/Jade_Tiger/Opposites_Attract.sid BUG: Bugs after 2:20. (Wilfred) /MUSICIANS/K/Klax/South.sid BUG: The tune starts to bug at the 02:45 mark. It's used in the note to Logosland 2 by Draco, the music data is missing there too. (Mariusz) /MUSICIANS/M/MAC2/Amnesia_Intro_12.sid BUG: The tune starts to bug at the 01:39 mark. It's used in the intro to Bobix/Amnesia and the music data at $2000 were overwritten by gfx. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/M/MHD/Airwolf.sid BUG: Falls out of synch at around 0:53. No bad reads. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/S/Shogoon/Dune_Cover.sid BUG: Falls out of synch at around 2:40. Happens the same in the original. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/S/Sid_Time/Axel_Foley.sid BUG: Falls out of sync after 1:01. (Wilfred) /MUSICIANS/S/Svensson_Roger/Walliball.sid BUG: Subtune #5 falls out of sync upon looping (Wilfred) /MUSICIANS/W/Wizard_Oxygen/Night.sid BUG: Contains bad data and sounds bad at 1:15, one voice pitch up too much. (iAN CooG) /MUSICIANS/Z/Zardax/Life_in_Coze.sid BUG: The tune is bugged, but this is how the Album of the Year organisers received the tune and Zardax did not send them a fix, as stated in the release notefile. This rip has been partially fixed to not read past the end of data, but still contains data errors that cause reading from zero page locations instead of its own data. (iAN CooG)
