“This tune is too complex to be played on…”

Come on, fix this already.. I stumble upon this error all-too frequently! I’d rather have a little less perfect emulation for these particular songs, than no emulation at all. Iphone 3G has 412Mhz processor with 128MB of memory, it shouldn’t be impossible to emulate a 30 year old sound chip with this hardware;) Other than that, superb app. Please, keep upgrading and developing it, let’s keep SID alive. Thanks!

Hello, bought your SIDplayer Pro yesterday. Some questions remain:

1. I Downloaded the HVSC #49, and it counted down from many thousands to about 100 musicians - then it stopped. Is this wanted or ok?

2. How can I fast-forward or rewind when playing a tune?

3. Whats about this “too complex” message, is it when a tune would need to be played 2 or more times per frame?

4. The search function could be improved: when I am searching e.g. for a composers name like Fanta and it is an exact match, then unfortunately the results are shown in a manner, that is not what human wanted

5. Is it possible to step through the complete offline database per random? I see only shuffling in the “fixed” play lists. If that would work I would not need to ask if it is possible to build own play lists?

After all: NICE WORK!!

I think added the Skytopia toplist will be a nice improvement.

there is a small little addition I would request in case there will ever be a new upgrade: could you add the following sid-top list as a playlist?

I kind of prefer their selection to HVSC’s top. maybe there are some more of those top-lists I’m not aware. the more playlists the better.

alvi: Thanks! This version stuck _very_ long in the review process (which is completely strange since it’s just a performance update)… I’m glad they let it through now.

hexagone: SPP is not really an upgrade to SP, but rather a dedicated version for the 3GS (since we had aforementioned problems with getting our SP update through for some time). The codebase is largely the same and I’m sure we’ll see further updates to it.

There’s a new verion out (1.4.49) and it has greatly improved startup times. Thanks a lot to the dev, it’s perfect for me now. Changed my itunes review from 5 stars to 5 stars. (Didn’t go higher than 5, no matter how hard i pushed

I bought the sid player pro for “3GS”…
I’m dispointed : no realy changes for 0,79€.
I hope this version will have more fonctionality (effects, best quality, sub tunes playing…).

I dig the app, but I would really love it if i could make my own playlists that i can name too! Like an ultima playlist, and a depeche mode sids playlist, etc.

What about being able to select only specific sid tracks (2of4) in the playlist too?

Gr8 app, thanx!
