Hi I am wondering if playing .sid files will be possible on the future.

I think this addon for core will be great!

Hi,
I would recommend to look at https://hvsc.c64.org/ . They keep updating the database!

Hi tontonkaloun ,
Nice to see you in this thread as well!

Can you please explain how to use sidplay64 under Mister? I would love to play my favourite SID's as well from Mister! Normally I use VLC on my laptop but I would love to use Mister as well :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I think I figured that out! I have used the old good DIRMaster :mrgreen: Thanks!

Hello

Rename you sid file:
music.sid --> music.sid.prg

Create a d64 file with your rename file and siplay64.prg software
That's all

Hi tontonkaloun,

Thanks! :mrgreen: I am just having fun with creating a few compilations with DIRMaster. It's a shame that it is not possible to point to a specific folder and read the .SID files from there. Maybe one day we will get a SID player built in the C64 core. That would be terrific :D
