3. The BUGGED TUNES LIST
Here you can find tunes that are in HVSC already, but are in some way buggy. That could mean they fall out of synch after a while or have silent subtunes or some subtunes are still missing. If you manage to fix such a tune you will also get 5 points .

Note that there are some entries here in the bugged tunes list which were also requested on the BIG SID HUNT section. However fixing existing tunes that are already in HVSC has a higher priority than adding new tunes. See, we want to have the HVSC collection as bug-free as possible.

1. /GAMES/G-L/Impossible_Mission_II.sid download! BUG: In-game tunes are missing (6 or 7) variants of the tune which is the melody you have to find in safes by blowing them up and then assemble and play using the tape recorder.

2. /GAMES/S-Z/Slamball.sid download! BUG: In-game tunes are missing. The tunes are very quiet and they play very low together with the soundeffects. There is one tune for every score multiplier.

The current HVSC version dies on track 2 only at about 49 secs. I've tracked the problem to a JMPi ($0076). The address is used constantly this way through the tune. It dies when the high address byte (location $0077) gets stored as 01 (read from the load image at $12F6). The resulting address used by the jump turns out to be $01F5 which is in the stack and contains no legal code.
I tried looking at the disk image to see what data is at $12F6, but it bears no resemblence to whats in the SID.

Hope thats useful to someone. Simon

Adam Lorentzon and Ninja/The Dreams came to the conclusion that a RSID re-rip is necessary to get this tune to play correctly. This would also restore the third voice which is missing in all tunes where you fly through the tunnel. The reason for this is that the tune uses VBI and CIA timers, this was converted to CIA-only in the current PSID rip.
7. /Grigg_Chris/Games_Summer_Edition_menus.sid download! BUG: Subtune #1 goes out of synch slightly when it loops. However the original game behaves like this, too.

8. /Lees_Anthony/Street_Warriors.sid download! BUG: Subtune #1 goes out of synch slightly when it loops. However the original game behaves like this, too. Fixed and SFX added by Ninja/The Dreams! ( 5 points )
9. /Sonic_Graffiti/Hayes_Ben/Prison_Riot.sid download! BUG: Subtune #1 falls out of synch at around 4:28. However, the game does this also due to a bug in the programmers' code as Ben mentions.
10. /Tel_Jeroen/Outrun_Europa_PSID.sid download! BUG: Subtunes #3, #5 and #7 fall out of synch at around 1:20. This is how it actually sounds in the original game, too.
Fixed by Ninja/The Dreams! ( 5 points )
11. /Brandt_Georg/Mini_Golf_PSID.sid download! BUG: The Hole-in-One jingle is missing from this rip.
Fixed by Ninja/The Dreams! ( 5 points )
12. /Tinman_Keith/Hudson_Hawk.sid download! BUG: Subtune #3 bugs on restart and falls out of synch. However all known copies of this game exhibit exactly the same bug.
13. /Fitzpatrick_John/Conan.sid download! BUG: All subtunes silent in Sidplay2w and on a real C64.
Fixed by Steppe! ( 5 points )
14. /Fitzpatrick_John/On_Field_Football.sid download! BUG: Subtunes #2 and #4 are the same. Subtunes #5 and #6 are silent. The whistle sfx is missing.
Fixed by Ninja/The Dreams! ( 5 points )
15. /Daglish_Ben/L_O_C_O.sid download! BUG: The tune in HVSC plays at the wrong speed. The ingame tune is completely missing, as well as the sound effects.

Fixed by Ninja/The Dreams: Main tune speedfixed, ingame tune + 8 soundeffects added. ( 5 points )
16. /Gray_Matt/Dominator.sid no download BUG: subtune #4 falls out of synch on restart. The bug gets very obvious at around the 6:15 mark.
