General Discussion / passing the crackpipe?
I don't know if there will even be a next guy, this thread was started years ago and yamaha has long since taken down the site that this software was once hosted on, as far as I know.
Anyway, it took some work but I found a working copy of the software and now have it installed and working on my xp box. I found the previous stuff in this thread to be well, helpful but not...
Reply #29 has a link to a rar file that contains the installer package in a rar file. It's good but the file that's actually at that url is truncated so the end of it is in fact corrupt and the package is not installable and that sucks.
I found that the file at that url was once complete and good but now it's all screwy and missing a couple megs at the end. I was able to get the original one from the mirror at web.archive.org.
The weird thing is that the file actually got progressively shorter and shorter over a few years. It's also the only copy I found on the web, not one of 'few'. It really seems weird to me that UK frank who wrote reply 29 mentioned that most of the copies floating around are truncated at the end. Like someone is playing an obnoxious practial joke on people that are still looking for this software relic. Hmm. weird. Whats going on UK Frank?? is it some kind of magic file that tends to truncated itself randomly?
I found the goods here:

Note that the rar has the serial number in it. The package is for XP, and you really should reboot when installing/uninstalling it or you'll end up with problems, probably.
and if you try some of the other files from here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://mids.ru/soft/syxg50xp.rar
you'll see they all have different lengths.
So I hope that like, clears up this idiotic nonsense. Have a safe and nice day.
