Right from the start
Hackersoft had a fascination for digitized music and speech on the
Commodore 64. This evolved into producing actual demos that included all
types of digi music, sounds and speech all from a simple BASIC program
listing. Armed with this listing and a Datel Action Replay cartirdge,
Hackersoft was on a mission to hack as many Commodore 64 digitized
offerings available.

Sampled Sounds 2 |
| |
 |
RELEASE
DATE:
1995
ASSISTED BY:
The exact
source for these sampled sounds is unknown.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
This
program is a VERY simple BASIC controller. The sounds
were ripped by loading in the game; resetting the
Commodore 64 using an Action Replay cartridge; typing in
the special BASIC code that plays back the sound, and
then saving it all as a .PRG with an Action Replay
cartridge. |

Sampled Sounds 5 |
| |
 |
RELEASE
DATE:
1995
ASSISTED BY:
The exact
source for these sampled sounds is unknown.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
Similar to
the previous Sampled Sounds demo, this version now has a
speed controller to slowdown and speedup the sounds.
Obviously, when using CCS64 emulator, you will need to
use the minus key to speed up and the plus key to slow
down (don't ask me!). It isn't exactly known where the
Sounds Samples demos 1,3 and 4 are hiding. If anyone
owns a copy, please get in touch. |

1995
ASSISTED BY:
New
Generation software who produced the samples speech.
PRODUCTION
NOTES:
The sampled speech within this
demo was ripped from Jonah Barrington's Squash, which
was a game produced by New Generation Software. They
were ripped by loading in the game; resetting the
Commodore 64 using an Action Replay cartridge; typing in
the special BASIC code that plays back the sound, and
then saving it all as a .PRG with an Action Replay
cartridge. |
