The Commodore PET was a 1977 personal computer by Commodore International. Some versions of the PET came with "beeper" sound - a 1-channel speaker used for sound generation. That's what we're here to make music for, similar to the ZXBeep format or Channel F. A converter is used to make music in an .xm file that gets turned into a .prg program readable by the PET (or an emulator).

Tools



You will need both the 64tass
assembly compiler and the thingscantpet
.xm converter to make music for this format.

Restrictions on submit



Submission should be a .prg file playable on the Commodore PET (or in an emulator).

Playback (for voting)



Open the .prg in your emulator of choice (such as VICE) to hear the song. Make sure you have enough RAM chosen (default is 8KB)!
