####################################################################### # The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) Bugged Tunes List # # Maintained by iAN CooG # # Last Updated: December 11, 2023. # ####################################################################### # # # 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 80 # ############################## /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).

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."
