PC .sid to C64 .prg
Is there a program that runs on the PC that can load a .sid file and then create and save out a .d64 image containing a .prg file that can then be loaded into a C64 noter program. |

You can save from sidplay2 as a .dat file. Drag/drop it in Vice, save to .D64 from monitor
s "TUNE.PRG" 8 startaddress endaddress |

Much easier from Sidplay, just do save as "dat". |

Just use KickAss, then you can import sids directly.

New note writers should have the option to import SID-files :) |

or if you want to be real 'ardcore, open the sid file in a hex editor (like XVI32), remove the first 124 bytes from the memory dump and save as a .prg, furthermore add to a d64 image. |

Or use PSID64 to make a PRG of it with the info about the memory location.
The ripp it :)
Please mind that note writers most of the time don't take just any tune, because of the exotic memory location it might be at. |

Another hardcore method I used to use - load it into a C64 emulator, start up a monitor, and relocate the data to the right place, e.g. "t 107c 1fff 1000" and save it.

*lol*
or improved cruzer-hardcore with action replay monitor:
l"blah.sid",8,1000
s"@:blah.sid",8,107c,xxxx,1000
where xxxx stands for the endadress :D
load it to a defined adress otherwise it
will endup SOMEWHERE in memory...
btw: and really follow cruzers hint! use kickassembler!!! |

Thanks for all the reply's. Will try the methods mentioned above.
I wonder if a (PC) tool could be made that is able to take any .sid file and allow the user to select a tune (assuming the .sid file contains multiple tunes) and save the desired tune/file as .prg with the tune relocated to a memory location ideal for noters. |

I may have misread your original posting, sorry for playing the smartass, hehe. ;-) |
