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.

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!!!

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

Oh, that is so much easier than saving it as .dat file.

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. ;-)
