Hi all,
It seems I have the only STEREOinSID in North America! ![]()
I am very impressed by the board, but the documentation is sparse/confusing and Malte is hard to get ahold of. I was able to read the entries on c64-wiki.de, fortunately, the Google Translation into English is very good. I was also able to read some of the threads here. But I still have some questions.
1. How should JP2 be set? I have two 8580s on a new 64C, PCB ASSY NO. 250469 - PCB NO. 252311 REV.A . The Wiki and included instructions do not agree.
2. I have my 2nd SID set to $D420. The included 2_SID_TEST_SAMAR.prg works perfectly. BOYS_D420.PRG however, plays on one SID for about 2 or 3 seconds, then switches to the other SID, and the first SID is silent. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
3. I can't get any of the .MUS/.STR files to play in MINISTEREOPLAYER. i.e. MOON.MUS. They all sound terrible and the music only comes out of one channel. Plus only a few are stereo (.STR), why are the others included?
(I just realized that line 5 in MINISTEREOPLAYER is the IDE64 CHANGE command, that's why I got a ?SYNTAX ERROR without my IDE64 installed! Should handle this better, I may patch it)
4. Why is there an extra wire on the JP6 header for the miniclips on the "n.c." connection? Would it ever be needed?
5. Does anyone have the "backside assembling photo" referenced in the instructions?
And finally, where can I get more stereo music files to test? I already have many of the ones from CSDB, any others I should know of?
Thanks,
