Thanks, by the way, Thretris. Real gentleman of you.

Ah c'mon dude, I offered him a deal before I knew you were talking to him privately. Wasn't trying to burn you, I backed off until you gave him the go ahead.

so here are my SIDs ... am I correct in thinking I can use the 2 from 1983 together for sid2sid? That would be great since on machine is broken smile

OK cool... so the sids have to match, noted.. I will use that link once I open the dead c64

I will probably supply the extra breadbin case to kitsch or something after I paint it up purdy...

aside from the SID, is there anything else of importance I should salvage out of it? also, remember how I said the cleaner c64 has less pins for the monitor connection? Is it possible to swap the connector from dead one? Cause I only have the one cabel and I would love to test it. (hope that makes sense without pics)

sooo much shit to sort through

I already have mssiah on the way, and I dont want to invest even more just to write a few diskettes. SO, if anyone is willing to help me, I can send you some fresh discs and pay a couple bucks for shipping.

im looking to try a few good trackers out. Any recommendations there are welcome too.

To get these to play on your machine you will need to build or buy a cable like the xe1541 (or similar... ) to write c64 diskettes. Then you can read/write them using your pc. There are other solutions using an amiga, like the Easy1541 (using his own cable too).

check this: http://sta.c64.org/xcables.html

to buy http://www.nkcelectronics.com/commodore.html
amiga Easy1541: http://aminet.net/search?query=easy1541

btw... mssiah is great if piece of software if you are familiarized with modern sequencers and synths... and remember that its not a classic tracker!

Thanks a ton, that answers everything. I will probably do mssiah then, leave the tracking to gameboy. My roots are in sequencing and from what i seen it kicks ass.

BUT, if anyone can write me a good tracker, I can send you some blank diskettes and pay for shipping back (dont want to buy the extra stuff, and im a mac user if that matters)

one (or 3) last question.. is a SID2SID a must do mod? I have a dead, 3rd, c64. Can I use the SID out of it for a Sid2Sid? and is there a cheaper way to do it than ordering this board http://www.8bitventures.com/sid2sid/ .... shipping says about $11 (yikes)

here you have a great repository of musical software for c64, vic20 and amiga: http://morganleahrecords.com/mooglecharm/commodore.html

My problem is how to get these to play on my machine?? I got over 500 diskettes from the guy today along with my HUGE bundle. I got a few of those notation apps.

I picked up 3 C64's today. Only have one monitor cable though... wanted to test all 3 machines, but one of them has a different pin-out than the other 2. how many different pin styles are there? I really want to test the one I can hook up (its the cleanest one too)
any help would rock

do you have any tips for preparing the gameboy to be painted?
i know mine's kind of dirty and i don't know what it's been through in its lifetime. also the labels on the back, i assume you take those off, if you have this somewhere a link would suffice, but i've been seriously wanting to paint my gameboy and just have been hesitant to do so in its current condition.


I wash them with hot water, soap and a toothbrush... for really bad ones, some spray  on chemical cleaners work great (scrubbing bubbles etc.)

then I let them dry

then I use adhesive promoter

then I paint smile
