Certainly the ABI used by C would not be machine-code-translatable from x86 to 6502 there would be an ABI written for 6502 and higher level targeting could work.

Note that there were no local variables in these examples, much less any actual function calls. They generally assume something like a local stack frame for variables and parameters, and there's no way to directly express that style of programming at the 6502 instruction level.

The biggest problem with compiling C family languages to 6502 is the stack.

HOWEVER, that was because the code written only did things similar to assembly instructions, similar to this example. I remember seeing Forth compile down to 6502 or other asm code, where it compiled down to the asm instructions a human would write for the same task, with basically zero language overhead. But that possibility is there really for any language and any asm platform.

If you're just interested in using them to write music, that's probably not a big deal, but if you're looking to integrate the C64 in a live performance context you'd probably be better off looking at the previously mentioned MSSIAH cartridge.Static optimization to inlined code that ONLY handles immediate numbers and addresses is fine, and interesting to see the full pipeline working. The biggest drawback with both of these options is that you'll be pretty limited in terms of improvisation. So, I'd say give them both a shot and get a sense for the capabilities of the chip and whether or not you enjoy working with it. If you end up going with the Goat, you can export your songs to formats that will play back directly on a C64 as well (.SID. The major difference is that CyberTracker runs on the C64 directly, while GoatTracker runs on Windows / Linux / OSX. I've used them both and they're both good options, especially for someone just getting started with SID music. Has anyone had any experience with either of these? It seems Cyber Tracker and Goat tracker are the most common. After weeding through pages and pages of c64 fan sites and youtube vids, I've found 2 popular softwares.

So practically I guess the options are you don't stop playing so then the noise becomes part of the character or you use a noise gate and it will sound like you are using ione but you get silence when not playing One issue is one of the definite flaws imho is the computer is big time noisy. You also have a couple options that re-house just the chip in either a built or more DIY support housing.

It's more or less effortless like someone just said, more or less because many people seem to suggest you mod the out for better sound and circuit protection as well as they offer an option to piggyback a second chip and that requires more surgery. This would be THE option if you have a whole C64. There are a couple real options like the mentioned MSSIAH. Refx makes a plugin I bought a while back. The C64 SID is grouped with game chips but to me it's in it's own class because it's sort of a flawed (mostly?) analog synth on a chip.
