1 Making and sending bugreports
|
|
|
2 =============================
|
|
|
3 Consider the following things before writing a bug-report.
|
|
|
4
|
|
7
|
5 1. Type of the bug
|
|
|
6 ------------------
|
|
1
|
7 - Sound-distortion?
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
9 This may not be directly XMMS-SID bug, but more like SIDPlay bug.
|
|
|
10 Check the SID-tune with SIDPlay commandline player. If the problem
|
|
|
11 shows up there, you should check that the tune itself is not
|
|
|
12 corrupted (or it may even be that it _should_ sound like that).
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) and SID Tune Information List
|
|
|
15 (STIL) homepages contain tips and guidelines for SID-tune rippers +
|
|
|
16 information on bugged tunes.
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 If the tune that sounds bad is available on HVSC, compare it with
|
|
|
19 the one available from latest version of HVSC. Read the HVSC buglists
|
|
|
20 and other informations (the STIL database contains info about bugged
|
|
|
21 tunes)
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 Ultimately you should check the tune on a REAL C64, but since many of
|
|
|
24 the younger computer users don't even have the real thing, this may
|
|
|
25 be impossible. (If the tune works on REAL C64, i.e. NOT EMULATOR!!!!
|
|
|
26 it may be a bug in SIDPlay)
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 - Segfault?
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 Again, check the tune on commandline SIDPlay. If it also segfaults,
|
|
7
|
32 report the bug to SIDPlay author.
|
|
1
|
33
|
|
|
34 If it does NOT segfault with commandline SIDPlay, report it to me (ccr).
|
|
|
35 See README for contacting information.

|

|
40 Send the suggestions, shit, hatemail, patches, your valuables and
|
|
|
41 credit card numbers to ccr/TNSP, contacting information available
|
|
|
42 on README. ;-)
