 +===== Simple IRQ Music Player =====
 +
 +This routine plays music inside an IRQ raster interrupt. Just a basic step to interrupts. This routine is in ACME Cross assembler format.

 +             jsr $1003 ;Play the music
 +             jmp $ea31
 +            
 +
 +             * = $1000-2
 +             !binary "music.dat" ;Rip one of my tunes from the HVSC and save as music.dat if you like :)
 +</code>
 +
 +Some additional notes by Frantic:
 +
 +.sid files have a header of length $7c bytes. You must remove this header from the sid files before you can place them on $1000 in c64 memory (for sids that should indeed be placed on $1000, which is something like a standard, but not every tune follow this).
 +
 +In some assemblers you can skip N number of bytes in the binary files directly, without having to do it with help of a hex editor or a tool such as "dd" or similar. An example for ACME follows:
 +
 +<code>
 +   *=$1000
 +   !bin "Raymond.sid",, $7c+2
 +</code>
 +
 +The "+2" at the end also removes the load address (two bytes) from the original c64 file inside the .sid file.
 +
 +Also note that in order to make the example code above executable (by executing "RUN" instead of forcing the user/coder to manually enter "SYS xxxx" to start the program), you would either have to crunch the file (crunchers add startup code) or add a basic stub to the start, such as:
 +
 +<code>
 +        * = $0801
 +
 +sysline:
 +        !byte $0b,$08,$01,$00,$9e,$32,$30,$36,$31,$00,$00,$00 ;= SYS 2061
 +
 +        * = $080d ;=2061 (Instead of $0810 as in Richards example
 +                  ;       not to waste unnecessary bytes)
 +
 +machine_code_entry: 
 +        sei
 +        ...etc
 +</code>
