One famous case: a user fed the Extractor a 48-second recording of a Commodore 64 being dropped down a stairwell. The output was a 3-voice chiptune waltz in C# minor, with a ring-modulated triangle wave that matched no known SID routine. The file was named falling_down.sid . When played on a real C64, the video output glitched to show the memory address $C000 slowly counting down from 255 to 0. The file was eventually removed from the HVSC for “violating the laws of hardware causality.”
: Known to work effectively on classic titles, though some users have reported the need for specific DLLs or older runtimes to function on Windows 10/11. Phoenix Sid Extractor V1.3 BETA-95
Process up to 500 SID files or raw dumps in one queue, with automatic format detection (PSID, RSID, DMP, and raw PRG). Output formats include 24-bit FLAC, lossless WAV, and raw delta values for further analysis. One famous case: a user fed the Extractor

Do you have a dusty Phoenix tower in your basement? It might be time to extract its SID before the EEPROM eventually fades to zero. When played on a real C64, the video
