#2 psid64 Command line / and other operation

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Very pleased with your PSID64 sid-prg maker, its
excellent!!!!!!!!

However, the SID songs loop instantly. I have some
questions:

1: Is it possible for a song to stop instead for looping?
(I've tried to incorperate the songlenghts.txt
database to the PSID command line, but a lot of strange
error output occurs.)
Is the looping based on these lengths?

2: Is it possible to anyway use the "+" key (when in
blank mode, using -b in the command file) to skips songs?
In blank mode the keys for skipping songs is only
based on 0-9 and A-Z...and for a SID file with 58
songs..well it would
not be possible. Better to have the "+" enabled and
skip the other keys when in -b blank mode!

I have a great and overkilled project to be started on
soon, and these features would help a lot!

Sorry for the delay but I haven't checked the SF project
pages for a while. Anyway, here are the answers to your
questions.

1. No, all PSID64 does is call the init and play functions
   of the SID. If the original SID was programmed to loop, it
   will also loop when played by PSID64. Also PSID64 is not
   aware of song lengths. In my private version (not commited
   yet) I've added support for the song length database, but
   only to display the time not to control playing.

2. I'll leave this request open to add support for +/- in
   blank screen mode.

BTW: I just checked your site and it looks very promising!
