So, the stored information may be changed according to the new HVSC layout. <BR> Unfortunately the update.hvs files that comes with the HVSC upgrade don't contains all the needed information that TSID must use, so a custom file (update.thvs) will be released after a HVSC upgrade. <BR> This file need some handle sids comparison work for being created, so I think to release it some days after the release of HVSC upgrade. <P> This is how tupdate are to be used: <ul> <li><B>tupdate -i</B>: use this command the first time you will use a sidplayer patched for TSID, or before you upgrade the HVSC the first time. In fact, this command simply read your actual HVSC version (from the HVSC path stored in the environment variable HVSC_DIR) and store it in the TSID tree. When the TSID tree is initialized, you don't need to use this function any more. </li> <li><B>tupdate -u</B>: this is the command that update the TSID tree, that must be used after each HVSC upgrade. </li> </ul> The last command simply reads the update.thvs file from your home directory (so put it in the home) and makes the needed changes as the file contains. Before this, tupdate create a backup file of all your TSID tree, so you can restore the previous situation if something goes wrong (eg. you can send your backup copy to me for debug the program and found the possible bugs). <P> When this operation is done, you can listen the new HVSC resulting from your upgrade with the security than TSID store the new information over the converted old (eg. if you upgrate HVSC but not TSID tree, then you can store new information in a manner that corrupts the old). </body> </html>
