SHREDZ64 UPDATED, PSX64 AVAILABLE
Toni Westbrook has been busy updating the C64 program,
Shredz64, and building the accompanying adapter, PSX64.
With Shredz64 and PSX64, you can connect a Guitar Hero guitar
controller to the C64 and play the SID music that comes
with the software.
For Shredz64, new songs in NTSC and PAL have been added to
the original line-up of SID tunes, the new tunes being Bombo,
Stairway Intro, and Still Alive. For the PSX64 adapter, Toni is
producing them again. Send him an e-mail, and he will build
one for you. Also, new firmware for the PSX64 makes the device
more efficient and bug-free.
Overview
Shredz64 is a modern day game for the Commodore 64 that
makes use of the Playstation guitar controller hooked through
the PSX64 interface. Its design is modelled against the popular
“Guitar Hero” series, geared toward the ability to play along
to your favourite C64 music on the guitar. Correctly played
notes increase your score and applause meter, while incorrectly
played notes decrease your applause meter. If the
crowd stops applauding, you’re out! Additionally, Shredz64
features the “shredocity” meter that allows for extra points
when you’re doing an awesome job shredding to your favourite
chiptune.
With Shredz64, the fun doesn't stop when you've mastered all
the included songs. You can add your favourite SID files to the
game and record your own custom notes, or download songs
other people have created - Shredz64 keeps rocking nonstop
