I have also developed a relatively extensible and very configurable MIDI To SID 
(XSID) program.  At the moment it only does output to XSID reliably.  I seem to 
have messed up the port of the SID Wizard converter.  The SID Wizard converter 
is a little 
limited in comparison to the XSID converter, though.  I guess it would be 
easier to play on the real machine however.  Maybe someone can write an XSID 
player for HardSID?

@Ian:  My XSIDToMIDI program is definitely a step up from SID2MIDw.  Give it a 
try.  I find doing multiple passes with different settings and combining those 
in my DAW gives really awesome results. 

I've been looking into how do to a Linux and MacOS port but I just don't have 
the ability to port the C/C++ code library wrapper at the moment.  Also, there 
seems to be an issue in the LZMA units when compiled with FPC/Lazarus.  Any 
help would be greatly 
appreciated.
