Reet Petite -Jackie Wilson-digiMusic

[CMcDougall]

Put this up ages ago Jan'06, but link dead, so here
it is again for all those who missed out the first time!

[CMcDougall]

here it is played out my beeb to laptop (mic left 8bit 44.1khz), then cut out the gaps between the 8k (&2000) loads
for 3 sec parts of the tune:

MP3 mono 128k

This is brilliant - I remember loading it into the "silicon" drive on my Watford ROM/RAM board to speed up the disk reads.

Does anyone have a double sided version though? Every image of this I've come across gives a disk fault trying to access drive 2 at the end so I suspect there's more to it that hasn't been preserved

[CMcDougall]

What other copies?? I was only person that still had it!!

I got it BITD from a disabled Solinet member (disc only 'magazine') that 4 of us swapped games, I hacked them to copy / work on all DFSs

yes it does goto Drive2 , but sure he only had a single sided 80T drive, hence he could not copy.

no one knows who made it, but it's ace

This one isn't bad either (but doesn't work in JSBeeb):

As it looks like the full version isn't likely to turn up, I decided to have a go at upgrading the existing copy...

I've reconverted the original song so that we have all of it rather than just the first half. I've also hacked the code so that it plays longer chunks (but this does mean that the disk accesses are longer so it's a bit of swings and roundabouts).

I didn't spend much time on the audio processing but I think it sounds okay.

I'm on a bit of a roll now Here's a slightly tweaked version...

Haha! Nice one Rob, love it.
Out of interest, what method did you use to convert the audio?

[CMcDougall]

nice job Rob, but disc2 is your fav song "never going to give you up"

anyways

I disassembled the Reet Petite code and worked out the sample format and rate. Then just wrote some C code to convert from PCM.

This might shed some light. I did say I was on a roll

[CMcDougall]

^yeah its a pain, happens a lot with my crap Android Kodi box, find a film thats not released for 2+ months time, & it plays this
(but I just find the right link and never been to cinema since!)
