Generation of Tune
Generate dialog
This is a dialog window opened using the Generate icon/menu command
With this action you can pack the tune and generate some output:
  • SID Generate a PSID file of the tune
  • PRG Generate a PRG file of the tune. The starting address is at $801, even if tune is relocated at the right point.
  • BIN Generate a BIN output (file with starting address in first two bytes)
For using the above command, you have to insert the address you want to relocate the tune as an hex number, insert the name to give to the output file and then choose the directory (using Browse button) where to save the file.
Note: compilation of the tune are done using some temporary files, so you have to check the temp. path into Option menu before using this command.
