Here is a recording from the Xenon music:

It sounds pretty good in my opinion. It's only just a bit lower and slower than the Atari version because I haven't changed the default speed (I must reflash the chip, I bought two atmega8 chip but one seems defective, I've ordered more). Btw I made a mistake in my previous message, on spectrum it's 1.75 mhz, not 1 mhz.

I've made a quick dump of the music using Hatari emulator, to the YM format. I've only removed in the recording the part when the guy is talking, it cuts the music, and besides the samples don't work in the YM file.

(The ym dump is there if you want to compare: http://garvalf.online.fr/var/upload/temp/xenon.ym)

In the future if I make a PCB, it'll be easier to have different versions on 2 different cards.

It's not a very good idea to cross post your question on 3 different threads! You should delete the two other ones.

This being said, I'm using sd2iec with sidwizard, but honestly, I've only used it to load songs, and I haven't tried to save some at the moment. I could have a look soon.

It could also be a problem with the power supply: there are two different currents provided by a c64 psu, one for the C64 (5V DC), and one for... the SID chip (9V AC).

You can try to get a SwinSid replacement, I found one on ebay for a price lower than a real SID (I can't find any now on ebay though). It seems the swinsid doesn't rely on the 9V AC current and can be powered with the 5V dc part.

There is also the swinsid ultimate which sounds really cool, and is around the price of a normal SID: https://www.facebook.com/swinsidultimate/

don't use the backup option (I think it save the whole content of the calc). Just transmit the ht2 file on the calc to your computer (just drag and drop). ht2util can only work on the original ROM. When you're working on a tune, I think the ROM just saves the data on itself.

The quick reference PDF is meant to be printed and folded into your TI calc, that's the reason of the small form factor. I've made it for my own use. For the panning, the instructions on the top should be enough, shouldn't they (except it's very small)? I don't see more on my website (http://garvalf.online.fr/ht2_panning.php)

The calc doesn't output at a very loud level, so if you use a headphone with high impedance, your calc shouldn't deliver enough voltage. Try to use low impedance headphones, such as earphones. On your portable recorder, isn't there a line-in? I guess you're using a microphone-in socket, which will be too sensitive.

Maybe a corrupt save? Have you tried saving again at a different state and re read that save on your computer?

I assumed it was 2 banks of 32 M each, but for the megabit, i didn't know that. I thought it was Mbytes, like for how everyone count for storage capacity. On the other hand in France we write and say octet for byte, and bit for bit (but seldom use it, except for network speed), so whenever I read "megab*t*" I tend to read megabyte. Thanks for the clarification.
