sid timing ntsc/pal

hi c64 experts, i am wondering how to play a tune on ntsc AND PAL machines with the same speed, using the rasterinterrupt leads to different timing on ntsc, i heard about a timer interrupt in c64 is this one suitable for using in a playing routine =?!

0.5 Hz?
Ignore it :) No two SIDs sound the same anyway.
If you want accuracy dont use SID.
Sorry to say that.
loving it all,

woah ;p you sarcastic bastards ;-)
SID's freq changes with driving clock;s freq. there is approx 40KHz diff so it's about 4% on the SID too (actually depending on note playing as LAxity said).

once I heard there is minor difference but I never tried to actually check it (honestly I raher don't care about NTSC living in PAL zone ;- ). you may try to use sidplay2/w and select "adjust to" in SID type config to have approximation of what would you get .

IMO pitch/tempo change is bearable, ADSR bugs and note trigger failures are worse. Liked Graham's suggestion to keep amount of clock cycles same, since that's what SID cares about internally.
