Welcome To The Homepage Of SIDTool

SidTool was a project of mine back in 2006 to get started developing in .NET Framework. It has been discontinued for some years now, due to lack of time, but mainly because of loss of sourcecode due to HDD wreckage. So always have a backup, right ;)
It has been succeeded in 2024 by SidTool 2 which has been rewritten almost from scratch and can be downloaded here. However, Version 1 is still fully functional even on Windows 10 assuming you have the proper .NET Framework installed. Just rename the "Songlength.md5" in the Documents folder of your HVSC back to "Songlength.txt" to have Songlength support.
If you want to leave a message, please email madman [sid] sidtool.de for bug reports and/or feature requests.
Happy SIDing!
