MG'S CORNER: ISSUE #1<br />
------------- --------<br />
hi pals around the globe! this is mg of <br />
trance with a special service for you <br />
that you never saw in any diskmag before<br />
maybe many mags will copy our idea but <br />
be sure that we are the first diskmag <br />
ever who got the idea! <br />
no longer be bored by the usual charts, <br />
news and roumors that every mag uses <br />
to feed you up - this is YOUR corner! <br />
---<br />
if you have questions, problems, <br />
difficulties or anything, then write to <br />
me, mg, and we'll try to find an answer <br />
to your problems, or, if we can't, we <br />
will PUBLISH ANYTHING so that the whole <br />
scene can help to find a solution! <br />
your drive is broken? your keyboard <br />
plays mad? your soundchip seems to be <br />
dead? DON'T HESISTATE! tell us your <br />
problems and we'll publish them here <br />
and try to find an answer! <br />
---<br />
are you looking for a certain game or <br />
tool? did your monitor explode? did <br />
your girlfriend leave you? don't <br />
fool around with your problems! write <br />
to mg of trance: <br />
"SYSTEM ERROR" <br />
xxxxxxxxxx <br />
xxxxxxxxxx <br />
GERMANY <br />
<br />
this is my new(!) address! postcard or <br />
paper-note is enough! we believe you! -<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
as there are actually no questions, i'll<br />
ask one myself: <br />
"i have a c64-2 in the white ergonomic <br />
casing, but what i miss are the digi- <br />
sounds. i just think of games like <br />
to be on top, turbo-outrun etc. and all <br />
the dudes who have the old, brown 64'er <br />
can hear the digisounds, but mine are <br />
fucking faint, i always have to turn <br />
up the volume. what's up?" <br />
---<br />
well, the problem is that commodore <br />
installed a new soundchip into the <br />
newer modells of the c64. you can't <br />
refer to the COLOUR, even some brown <br />
c64 have the new, BAD soundchip (and <br />
some new 64'er have the old, good one) <br />
if you can't hear the digisounds on <br />
normal loudness, you have to open your <br />
c64 and find the soundchip which has <br />
the number "8580". (or maybe 8580 r5 or <br />
similar). buy a piece of wire and an <br />
1-mega-ohm-potentiometer which you can <br />
get from your local electronic shop. <br />
you must connect pin 14 (GND) and pin <br />
26 (EXT IN) to the potentiometer. <br />
: <br />
**:*********** here you see which <br />
* * pins i mean! <br />
* 8580 * the pins of an ic <br />
* * are always counted <br />
*************: anti-clockwise! <br />
1 5 1 : <br />
0 14 <br />
<br />
make sure not to over-heat the sid with <br />
your soldering-iron. a potentiometer has<br />
three pins. you can cut away the left <br />
or the right pin, coz you won't need it.<br />
you only need the middle-pin and the <br />
left or right one. <br />
probably your soundchip is into a socket<br />
but you needn't pull it out there. just <br />
solder at the visible pins, but beware <br />
of shorting the ic! if you are afraid <br />
of doing the job yourself, refer to <br />
authorized personnell. <br />
if you did everything ok, then you are <br />
now able to tune the volume of the <br />
digisounds. if you turn them 100% on, <br />
the "normal" music will be unhearable <br />
and you can only listen to the digis. <br />
you must tune the digi-volume for each <br />
game individually, so better drill a <br />
hole into your computer and build the <br />
potentiometer into the computer. <br />
GOOD LUCK! <br />
