The outfit of the whole collection was inspired by the HVSC collection (with some differences). I hope you'll like this collection. To get in touch with me, see the "Contact" chapter. Statistics ~~~~~~~~~~ Number of tunes: 840 (1080 including subtunes) Compared to HVSC: 6.4% (HVSC v3.6 contains 13028 tunes) Unsorted tunes: 78 Number of musicians: 52 Most active musician: Grzegorz Kwiatek (75 tunes) Biggest SAP tune: Garfield_Part_2.sap (61556 bytes) Smallest SAP tune: Self_Test.sap (159 bytes) Files with subtunes: 2 tunes: 24x 3 tunes: 16x 4 tunes: 16x 5 tunes: 10x 6 tunes: 2x 7 tunes: 3x 8 tunes: 2x 9 tunes: 1x 10 tunes: 1x 13 tunes: 1x 14 tunes: 1x 15 tunes: 1x (2 tunes have unexisting tune "0") Help! ~~~~~ As you can see, there are lots of tunes in the 'Unsorted' directory. If you're 100% sure about origin of any of these tunes (Who did it, where does it come from, when was it composed), please let us know immediately so that we can complete the information about the tune in ASMA (and move it to the right directory). We would welcome if you sent us also the binary file (or an ATR/XFD disk image) with the original peace of software with that tune. Mail any such information to pg@pinknet.cz. Our aim is to completely annihilate the 'Unsorted' directory :-) For contributors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want to send me some tunes, they must be already converted to SAP format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date, number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See SAP.TXT for SAP format description. The filenames must not be longer than 26 characters (plus .sap) e.g.: 12345678901234567890123456.123 Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Challenge.sap - wrong! Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9' can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-) Creator & Contributors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zdenek Eisenhammer (PG of Unreal) - maintainer of the archive, ripped about 12% of the tunes Adam Bienias (SoTe of Slight) - ripped over 50% of the tunes Piotr Fusik (Fox of Taquart) - ripped about 15% of the tunes (now he's my main contributor). He's also author of a cool multiformat SAP converter. Tamas Bene ( of Hard) - ripped a few tunes (when will you rip your SID emulated tunes? ;-) Jindrich Kubec - ripped some tunes as well :) Radek Sterba (RASTER) - sent most of his tunes. Thanx! If only every musician did this... Michal Garbaciak (Dracon of Taquart) - ripped about 15% of the tunes Marcin Prusisz (Pigula of Shpoon) - ripped many tunes in update 1.5 Slawek Sledz (Slaves of Taquart) - many bugreports in ASMA 1.6 pre-release Contact ~~~~~~~ For any suggestions write to pg@pinknet.cz.
