; G.S.R. V1 Coded 18th July 1992
; Version 1 : Used a program which automatically moved all
; non PC-Relative instructions into a relo-table.
; Then on execution the code 1st subtracted the
; original load address and then added the current
; memory location of the music. This program was used
; on some music hacks including Euro Soccer Champs.
; G.S.R. V1.5 Coded 28th July 1992
; Version 1.5 : Does all the location,subtraction etc in one pass.
; It uses exactly the same method as version 1.
; Gone are the days of labourious relocation!!
; G.S.R. V2 Coded 29th July 1992
; Version 2 : Version 2 also now includes many algorithms to make
; the relocation process more accurate. As far as I know
; my relocator has the biggest success rate of the all
; relocators I've tried ( AVG's and G.Inc ). There still
; is no foolproof way to relocate a file 100% but I'll
; keep improving the algorithms to give more success.
; G.S.R. V2.5 Coded 13th August 1992 - 22nd August 1992
; Version 2.5 : Was done mainly to satisfy Mug UK's need for a fully
; PC-Relative location code. The relocator is now (hopefully!)
; fully compatible with the hi-level langauges - STOS,
; Atari Basic and G.F.A. Basic.
; G.S.R. V3 Coded 22nd August 1992
;
; Version 3 : As promised this version includes some more algorithms and
; the code is now in a nice clean table rout. Also wrote
; STOS and assembly replayers.
; G.S.R. V3.1 Coded 15th October 1992
;
; Version 3.1 : Mug UK wanted additional BRA instructions for drivers
; which have many calls ( eg Tri-Mod , Synth Dream ).
; Version 3.1 now has three additional branch instructions
; which may assigned to any sub-routine. Also added
; some rasters to add that bit of sparkle to the usual
; dull world of med res!
;
; G.S.R. V3.2 Coded 26th June 1993
;
; Version 3.2 : While working on UMD IV I found a couple of bugs within
; version 3.1. The major bug caused memory to be overwritten
; if the music file had lots of instructions to be
; relocated. This was due to me not decrementing my
; counter sufficiently.

Hi there music lovers and welcome to G.S.R. V3.2 ! The files included
in this folder will allow you to make all those nasty position dependent
music files PC-Relative ( Hopefully!! ). The program works by changing
all the addresses which are not PC-relative. GSR V3.2 still has some bugs
but it is constantly been developed and improved so newer versions will
be released in due course.
To use GSRV3 firstly run the Convert program and enter the original start
address of the ripped music. Also enter the address of the initialisation
code and the address of the VBL routine - Offset from the orignal start
address.
eg. Original Start Address = $72000
Init Address = $72000
VBL Address = $7200C
Therefore the Init Offset will be '0' and the VBL offset will be 'C'
If the music uses additional BRA instructions then enter their offset
in any of the three user-defined inputs, otherwise just hit return
to skip through these.
Version 3.1 also caters for all you egotistical hackers out there
by inserting your psuedonym into the music file!
Now simply use the relevant play back code ( Assembly,Stos or GFA ) to
listen to the music. If you can't get a particular music file playing
properly and your SURE you've ripped it correctly then send the music
to me ( address at the end ) stating your problem, I'll then endeavour
to assist you!
