Sorry for lack of updates in the last week or so. I did infact make some updates locally some days ago, but didn't complete it enough to be uploaded. Ok, so whats new... Updated our mirror of the High Voltage SID Collection to V2.7. ExoticA now has over 9200 C64 tunes online. Split the tunes page up abit for easier navigation. Added a new music format - PN-PokeyNoise. Pokey is the soundchip found in the 8-bit Atari series of computers - 400/800/XL/XE. The PokeyNoise DeliPlayer was written by Achim Haertel in 1996, but as far as I know it was never released/finished. The fileformat for these tunes is abit like the old PlaySID format with an icon for each music file. Thanks to Kerni for sending this in to me :) Added 2 new CUST-Custom tunes - Music from HawkEye and the fantastic loader tune from Crionics's NeverWhere demo. Both tunes were ripped/reworked/ and customised by our good friend Mr. Styckx. Thanks alot :) |
| 13-Sep-98: | Lots of small fixes to ExoticA including spelling and some HTML changes. Big thanks to Greeble for helping me correct this. |

*Major Changes*
I created a better script for updating the tune pages. It will now take the file comments from my own local uncompressed version of the site and use these in the corresponding HTML files. We have decided to use the following naming method for the file comments: Author (Handle) | Source | Type | Year Author and Handle is pretty obvious, Source is the name of the product it came from, Type is the type of prooduct it was (Game, Demo, Music Disk etc), and Year is also easy I think :)
Currently most of the files on ExoticA have bad comments packed within the lha's.
Over the next year or so I will work my way though each directory, re-making the file comments and repacking and uploading the archives. I have used the scripts to update all the online tune pages. However, files which currently have bad comments (Not in the correct format) will have N/A instead. Oh, and of course everything is now alphabetically sorted :)) Realised the AON-ArtOfNoise section was missing a demosong. Due to terrible filenames and to fix mix up problems, this and the previous 2 FM-Demosongs are now all in a subdirectory called FM-DemoSongs which of course is packed to FM-DemoSongs.lha.
Uploaded the AAM-ArtAndMagic Section with correct file comments. Enjoy |
| 03-Sep-98: |
Added more game box scans to the gallery - Loom, Lords Of The Rising Sun, Legend Of Djel, Licence To Kill, Las Vegas, Lombard Rally,
