Date: December 1, 2002 Author: The Shark Subject: MODs Covered on the C64, v1.3 Welcome to a wonderful collection of MODs known as "MODs Covered on the C64". That's right -- every single one of these modules has been covered by SID artists. The collection was put together for those SID fans who have never heard or would like to once again hear the original modules that some SIDs cover. Interestingly enough, you find that you may actually prefer some of the SID versions while for other cases the modules will clearly sound better. You'll find that this collection is very diverse, indeed, and includes many famous modules from years ago as well some that are only a few months old. To find out which SIDs are covering which modules, you'll have to look in the 'STIL.txt' file that is included with the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) under the /DOCUMENTS directory. This file is also available on-line in HTML format from the HVSC site -- see below. Just open the file and search for the module name. Sometimes you'll find that multiple SIDs cover one module. Note that we are still looking for other modules covered on the C64. Please see Modules_Wanted.txt included in this collection. If you find a module that covers a SID not listed in the STIL, please send me the module as well and let me know which SID it is covering. For those of you who are new to modules or module-ignorant, know that not all module players are created equal. For Windows, try checking out www.modplug.com for one of the better module players. This player handles XM files significantly better than Winamp and MOD4Win. For other platforms, you'll have to ask around to find out what the best module player is for your system.
