Not sure which version of HVSC you have? Please read the FAQ to find out.
PSID tunes
Since HVSC #50, PSID specific files were removed when there was an equivalent RSID tune available. PSID specific files are a bit outdated these days and are only useful for old SID players.
If you still want to enjoy digi tunes on your Amiga or simply dig the crystal clear digi samples of these non C64 compliant rips, feel free to download this pack. It contains all PSID-specific digi tunes that once were in HVSC.
HVSC Updates
HVSC Updates transform your HVSC Collection from one version to the next. Only download the updates you need subject to which version of HVSC you actually have.
