'Add PSID Header, converting from C64 (PRG) file with Load Address' Switch: a

This switch instructs psidTool to add a PSID header to a C64 program file containing load address (i.e. the first two bytes forming a little-endian word containing the memory address to which the program is loaded on the C64). This is the most typical way to add a PSID header, as C64 files saved from emulators or 1541-link systems normally contain the load address (of course; this is what files tend to do on the Commodore 64 :-).

Note that this switch is automatically assumed if you modify/transform a file without header, even without explicitly giving the switch.

If the file to which you're adding the header does not contain a load address, then use the -A switch instead.

If you try to add a header to a file that already has a header, this switch is ignored and the header is merely modified instead.

Example: psidTool.EXE Alien.C64 *.SID -a -i$1000 -p$1003 -title:"Alien" -author:"Mads Orbesen Troest (Hobbit)" -copy:"1992 Artificial Arts, LASER Inc"
