I'm trying and trying to find the proper way to zip up the High Voltage Sid Collection (HVSC) as outlined in the readme so I can carry all the tunes around. Unfortunately.. I haven't had much luck.. :(

Gzip.. is it any different than say... zipping it up with a pkzip compatible zipper? I've tried zipping up individual files, zipping up the whole thing...

Anybody got a process that's worked? I need to hear it! :)

(But hearing "Commando" come out of my GP was so great :))
 
:D :lol: :D

Okay, here's the drill:

1. Download gzip from http://www.gzip.org/ and put in your path
2. Download the HVSC full pack and unzip (with paths) the internal archive
3. Go into the c64music directory and run gzip as follows:

gzip -r9 *.*

This will gzip each individual file.

4. Go up one directory from c64music
5. run:

makepak sid.pak c64music

This should add all of the files and directory structure in c64music and compress it to approximately 60 megs. Just copy this to your root GPMM://, install sidplay 0.5 and you're all set! (There will be some 'trucated file' messages, but these appear to be harmless..)

Lemme know if this doesn't work, but it should if the steps are followed as I've outlined here.
