If the playback is choppy, try increasing the buffer size. Smaller values mean faster and smoother updating (1024 is the lowest possible) but also require a fast computer with a nifty web browser.

The piano is always updated as fast as possible when using the normal WebSid emulator, regardless of buffer size. However, larger buffer sizes may introduce flickering notes. Decrease the buffer size to avoid this.

The top right waveform legend explains the colors of notes on the keyboards. Red is pulse, green is triangle and blue is sawtooth. Gray is noise. Waveforms may be combined, but 31, 61 and 71 are only audible on the 8580 SID chip.

The numbers above the bars are hexadecimal. Pulse width has 12 bits and goes from 0 to 4095. The triangle indicates that it's most audible in the middle. The filter cutoff has 11 bits and thus goes from 0 to 2047.

The small yellow bar is the filter resonance. It can go from 0 to 15 (maximum resonance). Resonance is a peaking effect which emphasizes frequency components at the cutoff frequency of the filter, causing a sharper sound.

RM is ring modulation (non-harmonic overtones) and HS is hard synchronization (complex harmonic structures). Both effects require two voices – the previous voice as the carrier and the current voice as the modulator.

Sometimes the use of gate bit (i.e. when the piano key is depressed then later released) make notes too quick to sense, or it may in some cases even hide them. Turning it off with the toggle button in top can amend this.

Click the green buttons to toggle voices ON or OFF. You can also type 1, 2 and 3 or alternatively q, w and e. (You can also use 4 and r for digi if you are using legacy WebSid, but it is not reflected on this page.)

2SID and 3SID tunes are supported. Each keyboard will automatically combine to host an entire chip (i.e. 3 voices). The square voice buttons will toggle entire SID chips ON or OFF when playing these types of tunes.

If you want to "solo" a voice/chip, hold down Shift while pressing the hotkey.

Notes

Use the smallest buffer size (1024) for best effect. Especially the vibrato detector needs this.

Lines detecting repeated changes typically requires about four unique values to occur.

Using illegal waveform to lock noise, then unlock it with test bit, can be used to create unique sounds.

Only the first SID chip is examined.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register?

The user name and password boxes are used for both registering and logging in. To register, just type the user name you want. If it is available (a status message tells you) then type a password and hit the button.

The annex box also has information about what you can do when logged in: Registering

Can you please make an app or an offline version?

I wanted to make an awesome online web player for SID tunes and I believe I have accomplished that. It was never my intention to make an app or an offline player. An online player gives me immediate access to e.g. HVSC and CGSC without having to download anything first. Just everything ready to play, search through and rate no matter if I'm on my desktop, on my iPhone or on my iPad.

However, it's possible to use an offline player with DeepSID. Just select the Download option in the top drop-down box and start clicking rows. Make sure you associate your offline player with automatically playing the tunes.

Where did the audio handlers for SOASC go?

The audio handlers for Stone Oakvalley's Authentic SID Collection were removed in September 2020. The connections to these real-time recordings were always spotty at best and later the reaction times also became painfully slow.

I have repeatedly tried to fix the reaction times to no avail. It's a shame having to leave this library behind as it would have been nice with real-time recordings to complement the emulations, but I finally decided that the quality of the SOASC implementation was inadequate for DeepSID.

As an alternative, try the Lemon's MP3 Files handler instead.

Where did the Disqus tab go?

It was removed in late November 2020 together with all of its script code. It affected the performance of DeepSID, especially when triggering new SID tunes. Because this comment system was already rarely used by users, I decided to remove it altogether. The comments are still stored on their side and can be exported.

How do I make my own playlists?

You need to be using a mouse to create and manage playlists. This cannot be done on a mobile device (although you can enjoy your existing playlists there). Also, you must of course be logged in.

The annex box has the basic instructions: Playlists

Published playlists appear further up in the root and can be seen by everyone (even those that are not logged in) but you're still the only one that may edit it. When you enter a public playlist, you can see who made it.

What are those options in the top left drop-down box?

The annex box has a complete list: SID handlers

Why can't I see the right text area on mobile devices?

That's by design, actually. Only the player pane is supposed to be visible on mobile devices because of the limited screen space. This right text area is only really available for desktop computers.

Can you add a playlist randomizer?

You can achieve the same thing by selecting the Shuffle option in the sort drop-down box.

Can I search for a range of ratings?

Yes, if you type e.g. 3- for a search for ratings, you will get a list of all the SID tunes and folders you have rated three stars or more. If you type 1-, you will see all of your ratings.

The annex box can show you a list of all the search options: Searching

Can I turn voices on and off?

Yes. Use keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 or alternatively q, w, e and r. The first three are for the normal SID voices and the fourth is for toggling any digi stuff (WebSid (Legacy) emulator only).

If you want to "solo" a voice, hold down Shift while pressing the hotkey.

In the piano view, you can also click the green number buttons.

Any other hotkeys worth knowing about?

The annex box can show you a complete list: Hotkeys

If you hold down Shift while clicking rating stars, you will clear them. (However, it's usually easier just to click the same star again if you want to clear the rating.)

Why doesn't this work in Internet Explorer?

The audio handlers all use an API called Web Audio which is not supported by Internet Explorer. You need a modern web browser to use this site.

Why can't I see the load/end addresses and size of the SID tune?

Actually, you can. The annex box has the answer: Memory bar

What URL parameters are available?

The annex box can show you a complete list: URL parameters

Changes

March 15, 2025

Thomas Jansson (tubesockor) fixed a 6510 emulation issue in Hermit's driver causing incompatibility with some tunes. Some instructions were push/popping the stack in a reverse order than expected on 6510. Huge thanks to Anthony Bybell who discovered this anomaly.

February 2, 2025

Fixed too many bytes showing red colors in the MEMO view, when starting a tune.
Fixed the pace field in the MEMO view not always showing the correct information.

January 12, 2025

Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #82.

January 11, 2025

All new files in HVSC #82 are now connected to CSDb entries.

December 27, 2024

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #82.
JSIDPlay2 has been changed to WebAssembly and it should now be fast enough to play stereo tunes on mobile devices. It should play at least 40% faster.

November 8, 2024

A new SID handler with WebUSB support for USBSID-Pico has been added to Hermit's emulator by LouD. Note that WebUSB can be quite demanding resource wise.

October 19, 2024

Fixed sid model and clock speed info flags not always showing the correct information.

October 13, 2024

Ratings stars for a song are now shown in the info box too, so you can see and rate the song even when you have browsed away from it. The collection version number has been moved down above the sundry box.

October 6, 2024

Added Quantum Soundtracker to the list of music editors.

October 3, 2024

Fixed an UTF-8 issue due to an update on CSDb. All CSDb pages should display properly again.

September 28, 2024

A new tag group type for events has been created. These tags have a green color and are shown before all other tag types. They are used for events such as demo parties. The event name always come first, then optionally "Compo" which can then optionally be followed by the ranking such as "Winner" and "#1" to "#9" tags.

August 4, 2024

Fixed temporary emulating testing (hotkey "l") not playing the uploaded tune when clicked.

July 25, 2024

Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #81.

July 21, 2024

The "Compo", "Winner" and "#1" to "#9" tags now always huddle together in a logical manner.

July 20, 2024

The sundry tab for stereo is now also available for JSIDPlay2. Here you can set sliders for balance and delay, change the stereo mode, and toggle fake stereo along with the SID chip to read from.
You can now hit the BACKSPACE key to go back to the parent folder.

July 18, 2024

Fixed main volume not being remembered when refreshing the site.

July 17, 2024

Advanced settings has been added in the settings tab. Its contents will depend on the SID handler chosen. There are only advanced settings for JSIDPlay2 to begin with.
Moved the buffer size in the settings tab into the new section for advanced settings.
Added some advanced settings for the JSIDPlay2 emulator – default emulation (reSID or reSIDfp) and sampling method (Decimate or Resample), plus a ton of filter names for 6581 and 8580 chips.
Selecting a different SID handler now always refreshes the site, instead of just a select few. To make up for this, the tab you're in is remembered every time you change the SID handler.
All new files in HVSC #81 are now connected to CSDb entries.

July 15, 2024

Fixed a bug when refreshing the site while using other SID handlers than WebSid HQ, Legacy or reSID.

July 14, 2024

Added a SID handler for another reSID emulator, this time 'WebSidPlay' by Jürgen Wothke (called 'reSID' here to avoid confusion). It's a port of libsidplayfp and is only 30% slower than WebSid HQ, making it a great choice for excellent emulation. The new reSID handler is in BETA and still have the following issues:
- Reading the digi type and rate is not supported yet.
- Reading the SID registers is slow on big buffer sizes and only supports 1SID.
- The oscilloscope is not supported yet.
- Showing the PAL/NTSC and 6581/8580 flags is not ready yet.
- Advanced reSID settings are not available.
- For 2SID and 3SID tunes, the visuals only show the first SID chip.
- Exotic SID tunes (4SID and more) are not supported.
Another emulator button for the new reSID emulator has been added in the visuals tab.
Added logic for disabling view buttons (piano, graph, etc.) when a SID handler doesn't support it.
All three emulators by Jürgen Wothke (WebSid HQ, WebSid Legacy and reSID) now share a new and streamlined script player. DeepSID has been overhauled accordingly to support this.
The scopes for WebSid HQ and WebSid Legacy have been significantly improved, using a new channel streamer script. Setting a specific buffer size for the scope to work is no longer necessary.
A bug has been fixed in a player script for WebSid HQ. Now the visuals are perfectly synchronized.

July 6, 2024

Upgraded the JSIDPlay2 emulator. An "open" method has been renamed to fix a bug in DeepSID that prevented certain links to PlayMOD and CShellDB from working, as well as the "p" hotkey for opening a tiny DeepSID.
Fixed the tune timer not keeping up when using fast forward in JSIDPlay2.
Fixed when the tags line for a SID row was not reappearing after showing a loading spinner.

June 30, 2024

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #81.
Added composer profiles for the new folders in HVSC #81.

June 29, 2024

Fixed a bug where the piano visuals would appear in the other tabs.

June 28, 2024

Upgraded the JSIDPlay2 emulator. It now has tune length events.
Stopping a tune with JSIDPlay2 now kills the worker thread to save on mobile battery power.
Changed the logic for the loading spinner when using JSIDPlay2. It now clears earlier than before.
The visuals tab is now turned off as default for JSIDPlay2, to save on CPU time.

June 22, 2024

Added a SID handler for JSIDPlay2. This uses the renowned reSID engine and offers excellent emulation, but it's also considerably more demanding. You need a powerful CPU to run this one. Only the playback and visuals are supported in this "BETA" update. Support for stereo and filter presets are coming in a later update.
Because of the new SID handler, an ON/OFF toggle button has been added in the visuals tab. If your CPU is having trouble making the playback sound coherent, try turning the visuals off. This may especially be helpful with digi, 2SID and 3SID tunes. Turning the visuals off not only saves time on having to update this, it also turns off SID register output in the JSIDPlay2 emulator.
Fixed tags not being removed too when a loading spinner is shown in a SID row.
Buffer size is now unique for each of the emulators supported by the visuals tab.

May 16, 2024

Hermit's emulator is now capable of playing back SID+FM files. These are SID files combined with FM emulation and have been accomplished by using either the SFX Sound Expander or the FM-YAM cartridge. Thank you to Thomas Jansson (tubesockor) for this update.
A new SID+FM subfolder has been created in the SID Happens folder. You can only enter this subfolder when you have selected the Hermit's (+FM) SID handler in the top left drop-down box. It's possible to upload new files to this subfolder, but they must of course be of the SID+FM type or they will be deleted.

January 6, 2024

Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #80.

December 27, 2023

All new files in HVSC #80 are now connected to CSDb entries.

December 1, 2023

Thomas Jansson has extended the ASID support. It now supports up to 3 SID chips and multispeed, as well as SID+FM songs (uses OPL registers according to SFX Sound Expander and FM-YAM). To use multispeed or multiple SID, a Turbo MIDI interface (like Elektron TM-1) is needed to utilize the higher than normal MIDI-bandwidth.

October 11, 2023

Fixed a blanking issue by removing the GB64 tab entirely. This tab previously received game information from the GameBase64 web site. However, the web site was relocated lately due to the recent demise of the previous web administrator, and the new web location caused DeepSID to show a blank page.

July 23, 2023

The Copy Link menu item on the right-click context menu now includes a URL parameter for showing the CSDb tab instead of the default profile tab.

July 22, 2023

All new files in HVSC #79 are now connected to CSDb entries.

July 2, 2023

The main volume slider setting is now remembered between browser sessions.
Removed a typing throttle for checking if the user name already exists. Hopefully this prevents automatic login mechanisms from submitting before this check has been performed by DeepSID.
Creating a new playlist will now show a dialog box where you can rename it on the fly.

July 1, 2023

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #79.
Added composer profiles for the new folders in HVSC #79.

June 11, 2023

June 10, 2023

Fixed the 6581 button not being clickable when selecting the filter sundry tab.

June 8, 2023

DeepSID now only uses HTTPS. HTTP will automatically be redirected to HTTPS.
The profile page for Compute's Gazette SID Collection now shows a standard page instead of the site itself. This is better anyway since year data has been added to all songs in the collection.

April 18, 2023

The Discord server for DeepSID has been deleted. See this annex box for alternatives: Social links

April 13, 2023

Almost all groups now have profile images.
Added the group sidDivers along with a profile image for them as well.
Credits are no longer hidden for music releases in the CSDb tab.

April 12, 2023

A recommended box for a group now properly states it's a group with members, not a folder with songs.

March 11, 2023

A folder REST API call now also show all of its subfolders.
New SID handler Lemon's MP3 Files has been added which plays MP3 files recorded from JSIDPlay2, courtesy of Kim Lemon at the Lemon64 web site. Only tunes from High Voltage SID Collection are supported for now.

March 5, 2023

DeepSID's copy of Compute's Gazette SID Collection has now been upgraded to version 1.45.

February 26, 2023

A composer profile REST API call now show full paths for all images.

A message is now shown if WebAssembly is not enabled in your web browser.

February 4, 2023

Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #78.

January 13, 2023

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Added a fix for Mr_Meaner.

January 2, 2023

All new files in HVSC #78 are now connected to CSDb entries.

January 1, 2023

Fixed Jammer's Pitstop that was lacking database information.

December 24, 2022

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #78.
Added composer profiles for the new folders in HVSC #78.

December 11, 2022

Deleted the exotic sub folder with duplicated 2SID tunes as you can adjust the stereo yourself in the sundry tab added back in October. Deleting the folder means less maintenance on my part.

November 6, 2022

All stereo panning is now reset to center when selecting the WebSid (HQ) emulator.

October 22, 2022

The stereo settings are now retained across songs and subtunes.
Stereo is now also turned off per default to save on CPU time. As soon as you drag one of the stereo sliders, it is automatically turned on in the "Enhance off" mode.
Fixed a bug that messed up the layout of the stereo tab in certain web browsers, like Safari on Apple devices.

October 21, 2022

The stereo mode now defaults to "Enhance off" when clicking new songs.

October 18, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Fixed a stereo initialization issue.

October 16, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Added pseudo-stereo support. The volume has been lowered to allow for this feature – make sure you turn it up a bit.
A new sundry tab has been added which makes use of the stereo feature of the new WebSid (HQ) emulator. There's a panning slider for each voice, for up to three SID chips. Each slider also show oscilloscope output, which makes it easier to find the slider you want to tweak as the music plays.
If you drag the stereo tab bigger, there are a few controls for the entire stereo feature. To be absolutely honest, I can't personally hear any difference when using the headphones checkbox nor the reverb slider. They came with the Google library that the WebSid programmer used, and it's possible they do not affect SID at all.

September 24, 2022

A recommended box can now sometimes be a playlist spotlight.

August 21, 2022

Clicking a sundry tab that is already active now collapses the box. This works no matter what device you're using, but it's actually meant to give mobile devices a way to free up more vertical space.
The profile options for uploading to the SH folder are now without the "HVSC/MUSICIANS" part. This makes it possible to find people faster, e.g. by typing the letter folder.

August 19, 2022

Upgraded script processor and scope scripts used by WebSid (HQ) emulator. This should fix scope issues.

August 6, 2022

When uploading to the SH folder, the drop-down box with composers now contains two lists. The first is active composers only and the second is everyone. This should make it easier to select a common composer.

July 31, 2022

Fixed the remix tab not showing any entries at all.

July 19, 2022

Added a URL switch for activating a mini-player mode. The browser, page, login and two of the sundry tabs are not available in this mode. Use &mini=1 for use in an "invisible" folder where the Prev/Next buttons still work, or use &mini=2 where only the specified tune can be played. To see what other URL switches could be nice to use, just run the URL without specifying the ?file= switch.

July 17, 2022

Added the FlexSID editor to the list of players.

July 12, 2022

You can now also search for the SID type. Choose Type and then type e.g. "rsid" then search.

July 11, 2022

Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #77.
In the piano view, the colors of the keys are now affected by the entire ADSR envelope output.
Fixed a bug that showed the same search results multiple times if performed fast in rapid succession.

July 10, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. The piano view now makes use of a new feature in it to fade out its keys depending on the ADSR envelope output of the voices.

July 9, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. See below for what this version brings.
The piano view now always run at full speed in WebSid (HQ) mode regardless of the buffer size.
The scopes are now always available in WebSid (HQ) mode regardless of the buffer size.
Fixed MEMO and STATS views not working anymore. Both now also operate at 60 hz. Note that the MEMO view doesn't really make use of it since Jürgen's update only covers the SID registers.

July 3, 2022

Wrote and ran a script to update the file counts of the GROUPS member folders.
The 13 new 2SID files in HVSC #77 (i.e. that uses 6 voices) has now been added as exotic stereo files.
Fixed a bug that prevented the specific search query "summer" from returning any results.

July 2, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Added API for specific SID instance access, cleaned up digi-related scope handling, rolled back flawed CIA performance optimization and flawed COUNTER_PERIOD improvement.
Note that the scopes now include digi output when a voice-specific digi technique is used. Normal $D418 digi is exclusively shown in the fourth scope output. Remember to use a buffer size of 16384 to see the scopes.
Fixed a bug when displaying data from additional SID chips in the piano view.
All new files in HVSC #77 are now connected to CSDb entries.

June 25, 2022

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #77.

March 26, 2022

Fixed an inversion problem in the ASCII graphics of certain CGSC songs.

March 13, 2022

The dark blue chunk in the memory bar is now slightly darker in the dark color scheme.
Improved how hotkeys are ignored when using all kinds of text input controls.

March 12, 2022

Fixed a bug where group folders were also a profile choice when uploading to the SH folder.
Changed how tags slide to the left when hovering on them. Instead of just sliding the line of tags to the left edge, the line now slides far enough for the plus button to be visible.
All composer profiles with a CSDb page now have a composer link that goes to that page.

March 8, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Added a hack for Wacek's version of 4 Non Blondes.

February 27, 2022

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Added specific handling of Mahoney digi and fixed 6581/8580 toggle bug.

February 26, 2022

Fixed ADSR values shown in the wrong order in the new stats view.

February 20, 2022

Added solo buttons for each voice in the stats view.

February 19, 2022

A new stats view button has been added in the visuals tab. This mode shows what is being used in the SID chip, both in real-time (red dots) and in total over time (checkmarks).

January 30, 2022

The screen, BASIC ROM and KERNEL ROM areas can now be vaguely seen in the memory bar.
Fixed competition folders not working properly.

January 29, 2022

Removed the link for reporting a profile change. Nobody was using it and it clashed with long names.

January 23, 2022

Rewrote the way the annex box appears contextually upon page reload. If the URL is not for a playlist but has a profile that may show composer links, there is a good chance these may be shown instead of tips.
Groups no longer appear in the page with recommended folders.
The CSDb tab now shows a release page if it's the only release for that song anyway.

January 22, 2022

Groups no longer appear in the list of game composers in the bottom of the root page.

January 16, 2022

More GROUPS have been added the past few days, for a total of 54 groups.

Added a ton of GROUPS entries, for a total of 18 groups.

January 8, 2022

Improved the detection of 2SID and 3SID tunes for the PIANO view.
An unofficial GROUPS folder has now been added in the root of the HVSC folder. Each group folder in it has a collection of member folders. These folders actually redirect to a MUSICIANS folder, and if you browse back one folder from there, you will automatically be brought back to the original GROUPS subfolder again.
The first two groups available in the new GROUPS folder are Vibrants and Maniacs of Noise.

January 6, 2022

All new files in HVSC #76 are now connected to CSDb entries.

January 1, 2022

The avatar images for the three big lists in the bottom of the root page are back. They are now loaded in a deferred manner to avoid bogging down the site.

December 31, 2021

All the SID files uploaded to the SH folder this year has now been moved into a 2021 sub folder.
External links pointing to the root SH folder now redirects to the new year folder.

December 30, 2021

Improved the default search query to also look for the real names of composers. For example, a search for Thomas will now also return folders such as those for DRAX, Laxity, etc.

December 28, 2021

The 8 new 2SID files in HVSC #76 (i.e. that uses 6 voices) has now been added as exotic stereo files.

The list of external links for a composer is now sorted alphabetically.

December 11, 2021

November 29, 2021

In the tips pages for the annex box, all search links are now performed without refreshing the site. Also, a tag in the tips pages about these can now be clicked to search for it.

November 27, 2021

Improved the handling of how the STIL tab is named, depending on the context.
The STIL tab is now called Notes whenever a file from the SH folder is played.

November 24, 2021

Changed the logic of showing the filter settings depending on 6581 chip mode. The controls are now disabled instead of invisible, and the chip mode button has been placed next to the tab.

November 23, 2021

Fixed not being able to alternate between WebSid (HQ) and WebSid (Legacy) properly.
Various filter settings can now be adjusted in a new filter tab in the sundry box. You need to be using the WebSid (HQ) emulator for this, and the file needs to be in 6581 chip mode.

November 20, 2021

The default 6581 filter for WebSid (HQ) has now been set to R2, which is much brighter than the previous R4.
The vertical scrollbar should no longer appear in some web browsers, such as e.g. Firefox.
Hitting p to pop-up a tiny DeepSID now opens it in mobile mode, although it's still using WebSid (HQ).
Overhauled the FAQ page with links to tips in the annex box, to avoid duplicate information.

November 18, 2021

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. It has a new filter implementation for the 6581 version, and the centering of the scopes has been fixed.
Added a new ?notips=1 URL switch to avoid showing the annex box with tips.

November 16, 2021

Created an annex box in the void area to the right where random tips can now be seen. The tips in the STIL box are no longer shown. Click the corner icon for a list of the annex tips you can choose from.

November 14, 2021

Fixed a bug that stopped autoplaying if the subtune was shorter than one second. Thank you for spotting that one, Andreas Wallström. Try Jason Brooke's Out Run or David Whittaker's Paddle Mania as examples.

November 7, 2021

Fixed a bug that showed the folder button in the tags sundry box when it wasn't supposed to be.
Removed redundant debug code that I never really used anyway.

October 30, 2021

October 24, 2021

Overhauled how sticky sorting of SID files is handled. This also fixed a bug where a SID row was not marked by an external link if sorting by anything other than name.
A recommended box in the root page now sometimes advertise for my other site, CShellDB.

October 23, 2021

The Open Graph title for a SID file in the SH folder should now show the proper composer name (or handle) and title, instead of just the filename.
External links to a SID file that shows an avatar image now also add a small play icon in the bottom right corner of this image, to make it clear that clicking the link will play it.

October 22, 2021

If the composer of a SID file specified in an external link has an avatar image, this will now be displayed instead of the default play image. This also works in the SH folder.

October 18, 2021

Songs with more than one subtune now always maintain the relevant switch in the URL, regardless of what number it is. This should fix the issue where the first subtune can't be played from an external link.

October 13, 2021

Sorting a folder with SID files (other than the SH folder) is now sticky.
Fixed a bug that made the sort options in the SH folder sticky for other folders.

October 2, 2021

DeepSID's copy of Compute's Gazette SID Collection has now been upgraded to version 1.41.
SID names are now prefixed with a tiny icon (with three horizontal lines) whenever there's a STIL text entry.

September 25, 2021

In the video links dialog box, the corner link for opening multiple search tabs now search directly in the four specific channels. This should yield more precise results.
Small color strips can now be seen in the beginning of SID rows for certain specific player types. GoatTracker is gray, NewPlayer is green, Sid-Wizard is cyan, SID Factory II is blue, and DMC is yellow.

September 24, 2021

Fixed a bug that in rare cases mixed data from multiple composers when showing both the chart with active years and the bars with players used.
It is no longer possible to mark and select folders as well as context menu options. If you want to copy a folder name, enter it and copy it from the URL box instead.

September 18, 2021

Removed the avatar images from the three big lists in the bottom of the root page, as the loading of these images bogged down the site too much. With more space available, the full names of the composers are now shown instead of the slightly shortened versions.

September 17, 2021

Added a new ?cover=1 URL switch to force showing the auto-play cover overlay upon refresh.
The ?wait=X switch is now sticky when specified in the URL.

September 16, 2021

Changed the ?wait=X URL switch to now wait X number of milliseconds before stopping.
DeepSID now waits up to 10 seconds for a YouTube channel tab to start playing its video. If it doesn't and there are more channel tabs, it will try the next one instead. (If it was the last tab, it will try the first one.)

September 12, 2021

Added a corner link in the video links dialog box for opening multiple search tabs at once.

September 8, 2021

The dialog box for editing video links now discard rows with an empty video ID.

September 5, 2021

The video ID in the dialog box for editing video links now accept the time offset parameter. For example, typing Gro7n1oqHUo?t=63 will start the video 63 seconds later.

September 3, 2021

Searching for YouTube videos now also include the name of the author.
Opening the dialog box for editing video links now always offer three commonly used channel options.

August 31, 2021

Added a new ?wait=1 URL switch for selecting a specific song but not play it yet.

August 29, 2021

A new SID handler for YouTube videos has been added. You can select it in the top left drop-down box. Note that only SID rows that have video links are enabled. Since this is a new feature in DeepSID, there are of course an abundance of disabled rows for now. More video links will be added over time.
Most of the the standard DeepSID controls will control a YouTube video. You can even click somewhere in the time progress bar to jump to another spot in the video.
A dialog box has been added for editing video links. To open it, right-click a SID row (disabled or not) and choose Edit YouTube Links. You can add up to five tabs with YouTube video links for the same song or subtune, and you can also choose which one should be the default tab when a SID row is clicked.

August 15, 2021

All scrollable areas now use the default web browser scrollbar. The custom scrollbar jQuery plugin has been removed completely. Thanks malihu for years of service back when the default scrollbars were crude.

August 13, 2021

The browser pane with folders and files now uses a thin version of the default web browser scrollbar instead of the custom scrollbar jQuery plugin.

August 6, 2021

Fixed search for competition folders showing incorrect results.
Removed the search shortcut for game composers. Apart from not being able to show all tunes in one big list before hitting the search cap, the new big list in the root page also makes the search shortcut redundant.
It is no longer possible to search for search shortcuts.

August 5, 2021

The root page now shows three big lists in the bottom – one for active composers (that made music this year), procrastinators (made music last year) and all professional game composers. The two first lists for this and last year may have a few "noise" entries in them because of the way HVSC adds old tunes as new releases. I'll see what I can do to iron these out over time.
Added the CSDb music competitions related to HVSC #75.

August 2, 2021

All new files in HVSC #75 are now connected to CSDb entries.

August 1, 2021

Fixed a bug where the table cell with star ratings was sometimes pushed too small.
Improved the handling of pretty player names which fixed a few odd adaptations of the tiny ones.
The pretty player names for JCH's NewPlayer series now also show if the tune is unpacked.
On CSDb release pages, all download links for PRG files now also offer an alternative C64 link. The file is exactly the same, only the extension is different. The advantage is that you can associate it with an offline emulator such as VICE and run it directly from your web browser. This is not always possible with PRG files.
Fixed a bug that sometimes added commas in the copyright field when uploading tunes.
Improved the handling of copyright year when uploading tunes.

July 31, 2021

Added three search shortcuts in the first level of the HVSC folder:
- A search shortcut for multispeed finds all tags with "Multispeed" or "2x" and up to "16x" speeds.
- A search shortcut for multisid finds all "2SID", "3SID", "4SID", "8SID" and "10SID" tunes.
- ~~A search shortcut for game composers finds all soundtracks from popular game composers.~~

July 20, 2021

You can now also search for the files added in the latest HVSC update by someone. Choose Latest and then type the name to do this. If you want to be certain that only a specific composer is matched, add a slash in the end. For example, "tomas/" will only show hits for Danko. Append e.g. ",72" for that HVSC version.
A new type of folder item called a search shortcut has been added to DeepSID. This has been used inside the first level folder of HVSC to search for new stuff in the latest five HVSC updates.
The second search shortcut for folders is a special search that lists folders in HVSC (mostly by composers) that contains files added in the latest HVSC update. Each folder shown in the search results are actually new search shortcuts. Clicking one shows only those new files.

July 17, 2021

The cover overlay for auto-playing a tune is no longer shown if not necessary.

July 13, 2021

The 4 new 2SID files in HVSC #75 (i.e. that uses 6 voices) has now been added as exotic stereo files.

The High Voltage SID Collection has been upgraded to the latest version #75.
Added composer profiles for the new folders in HVSC #75.

May 13, 2021

The GB64 tab is now available in the SH folder as I may add links there to new game soundtracks.

May 2, 2021

Imported the new GameBase64 collection v17 with new game entries and screenshots.

January 26, 2021

Fixed database errors for Puzzled-Background_Music_IV.sid and Desert_Decision.sid.

January 24, 2021

Fixed a bug that caused the WebSid (HQ) emulator to report using CIA when in fact it was using VBI.

January 6, 2021

Upgraded the WebSid (HQ) emulator. Fixed a pulse initialization bug that affected PollyTracker songs.
