Latest News (posted 1st of May 2009)

Update #50 is released

The HVSC Crew got their remaining forces together and managed to add another 678 new tunes to the collection. And while being at it we also removed 573! :-o
We decided to remove all the old _PSID files that have a RSID equivalent. Those _PSID files were only hacks meant for digitized sounds to be played in Sidplay1, but not on real C64. The _PSID files will be eliminated in every future releases as soon as new RSID versions of the same .sid files are added. For those still needing the _PSID files we have put them in a separate archive:
