Do you got anything to convert Midi files to BatariBasic and DASM for ATARI 2600?

I have a two step conversion process.

 

midi2abc - create an ABC notation of the midi channels where only notes and durations are preserved

 

abc2c - assemble the ABC notation to C-char arrays for compiling with cc65 compiler.

 

abcmusic - a C-code music player capable of 4 channels music on Atari Lynx

 

With this setup you will get decent music on a Lynx.

 

But it is 4790 bytes, probably a lot too large for the 2600. Of course you could chip away multichannel support, multiple instrument waveforms and volume control to make it fit the 2600.

 

I have the sources in C and asm format. PM me if interested.
