Help with convert prg to sid

Hello!
I have made some tunes in Cybertracker, and want help to convert them to sid.
Shall I convert the prg-file before i crunch it to basic?

First, i compose the tune in Cybertracker.

Then i use the executablemaker to make it executable.
I must load the file with ,8,1 and start the tune with sys 18096. (that is $46b0)

In sidedit i have tried to enter $46b0 for the playadress.

But what is the initadress?

I can nothing about machinecode. I only compose :)

I've just took a look at that executable maker. It saves the tune with a player routine that gets called at $46b0. This isnt the actual tune, but just a piece of machine code to display some screen and play the music in an irq. You cant use that address for Sidedit. I'm looking around the code to find the proper play and init, but i'm at work right now.

I'm sorry but i cant seem to figure out where the init and play calls are in this mess of a code.
I'm sure someone here knows more about the cybertracker format than me. I can try to look into it later on after work if no one else has come up with some information until then.

Sorry.

I looked at it..
It seems the player is dependant on poking 1 and 2 into a byte, from outside the irq, at certain times, to play anything. this is really shit..

the init/playhandler is self modifying.. argh!

So it is impossible to convert it to sid?
Is it more possible to convert it before I make it executable?

I will send you a tune rambones, and you can try to convert it?

If all else fails, you can try asking Cyberbrain for help. Him being the person who made Cybertracker.

there's plenty of cybertracker tunes in hvsc, but i have no idea who is responsible for ripping them. nonetheless, i assume that conversion is doable.
