I've figured it out - alot of the one's I have looked at start at $1000 and the play address is $1006.
I have some really nice .mus files from one of my stereoplayer disks, playsid apparantley supports this format. I'm gonna try and convert some of these.

I'm planning on putting a tune in with my scroller. Are there many "freeware" songs out there?Hi Dan, Cool that you're doing this :)Yes, tunes commonly (though not universally) start at $1000. First you init the song withLDA #0 JSR $1000 And then every frame you do a JSR $1003 If that doesn't work, swap the JSRs to $1003 and $1000 and try again.It's very common for smaller demos and intros such as yours to use "ripped" music. Just give credit to the original musician in your scrolltext, and it's cool.Tunes by JCH and Drax are very commonly ripped. I've even seen some music demos that will allow you to save the tune out to disk to make inclusion in another demo even easier.Robin (aka Macbeth/PSW)
