Thanks for helping me out!

(I'm quite new to the scene ;)

Would be really great to have a video about the happening afterwards since I can't make it :(
Preferably as divx of course to have a good quality..

If there ever will be a next similar meeting, ask machinae supremacy to play there. They've made a few really good remixes of old c64 tunes :)
Check ...

ahh, thank you :)

Hi..

Anyone know a program that would convert the sids to mid format?
Is this even possible?

This way it would be easy for me to see what notes are produced in songs so I'd be able to play the songs on guitar :)

If that's not possible, anyone know where to get tabs for c64 tunes?

I'd love to get ...
