sid2sng Windows builds

Because I read some people have problems compiling this [https://github.com/2bt/sid2sng] for Windows you can maybe try these versions:
https://jansalleine.com/trans/sid2sng.zip

32 and 64 bit versions included in the zip. Crosscompiled on Linux with mingw32 GCC. I don't have any Windows to test. They work in WINE... It's a command line tool, so use in CMD (or Powershell) or whatever stupid "terminal" like program Windows has nowadays...

Use at your own risk and happy instrument stealing! :-P

https://github.com/2bt/sid-monitor

You can play the song and see the voices on a piano roll and move/listen though the song frame by frame and analyze the register content. You might find it useful. At the github page you can see what keys to push in order to study the SID.
Just drop a sid on the exe, slap space and enjoy :) really interesting I think.

Can this tool be added CSDb too? (despite the lack of a crack-intro slapped on it :) :P).


I should be helpful here so I uploaded it myself:
SID Monitor
Enjoy!

Quote: I would like to see someone create a diskpack with only SNG files of all the SID files made in Goattracker out there. A new GP release? :)

I guess those composers that put lots of efforts in sid instrumentation fear this tool a lot more than I do. That said, I already previous done some SID dumps of the songs I wanted to investigate. This tool is therefore really nothing new under the sun, - it only comes with a much more preferred output-format of a SNG file (making it friendly for everyone to use) rather than textfile dumps and post scripts cleaning things up etc.

Cheers Magnar


I am actually working on a collection of sid files converted to sng! Its not finished so if anyone is interested PM me and i will send it to you! I might release it to csdb after i convert 5-15 more tunes

Checked out if it has any of my songs and got a good laugh seeing that it has Wiskarin_Hautatanssi.sid which was too shitty to release under my own name. :D

This probably wasn't a good idea, you might want to redirect your time and energy at creating new instead of spreading broken versions of old stuff.

What a lovely, big piece of unnecessary work <3

Dude ... if you have the balls to release .sng files without permissions from the authors at least check if they actually work. The ones I checked (mostly my own) are indeed broken. Thanks for nothing.

Also ... what Ian Coog said.

mibri: obviously not, as I said, it's a 0 effort pack, which shouldn't be even allowed as an entry here.
It's like taking some random prgs, batch process them with a disassembler and making a disassembly pack of random executables. I have absolutely no idea how one can think this can be valuable as a release.

hedning, my Drama Dolphin shall remain firmly in the Drama Aquarium! Buuuuuut...

The wavetable data is very clearly wrong/broken in the following SNG files: City Noises (early version), Even Uneven, Funky Bravah, I Dug Some Graves You'll Never Find, Keygen Music, Nameless Traveller, Permadeath, Persona Non Grata, SID on Fire, Stomp, Teh Disco, Thir(s)ty, Urban Canyon Cruising, and maybe a few more, I stopped looking. That's quite a lot of buggy files! I have to wonder if the maker of the pack checked the files before creating this release...?

I make this comment chiefly because the sid2sng tool's developer may wish to consider fixing whatever's causing this wavetable data issue.

Just stop doing this. Anyone can run sid2sng themselves on any gt tune if they want, no need to make these kind of 0 effort packs.

I'll let you off since you are new here, but in future... ask for permission first, especially if it shitty worktunes. /sigh

I don't know about you, but I think this release is a really bad idea. The tool itself is a cool thing, but this? Naah. I hope you have some blessing from the authors spreading more or less doubtful sng-files of their songs. They should have stayed on your harddrive. Better prepare for the Drama Dolphin.

Hi! I haven't had a look what's in the zip-archive. But I think this might be better filed under another release type. A C64 music collection from my understanding should be able to run on a c64.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It was a stupid idea. Entry got deleted. People will go on. Complaining about "shitty no life sng packs" is also kind of "no life" XD

But keep in mind for next time: noone needs any "releases" that can be produced by simply writing a shell script / batch file themselves.

being hard on myself is a thing i cannot control that much. i must let out the anger of it

true that noone needs a sid2sng pack. i just thought it was gonna be helpful not realizing it was a shit idea.
well anyways back to making another song
