|  spy vs spy music
I've deassembled all "Spy vs Spy" parts' music code and moved them to Plus4. Original code still generates data as it does for POKEY but values are stored in RAM. Then I transform it on the fly to TED sound registers' configuration.
The program has two modes of operation:
1. CONSTANT - sound volume is always set to 8 and square/noise waves are turned on/off at the moments.
2. DYNAMIC - sound volume is a max function taken from volume configuration of two POKEY channels and transposed to TED settings.
You can download PRG file and the source of this code and compile it using MADS assembler (I'm the Atarian and I have atarian duties ;-D) using
mads -o:spyvsspy.prg spyvsspy.asx or by make
Following snippet shows how POKEY to TED tranposition is doing:
;ted
;f = (14318181/16/8)/(1024-(K+1))
;pokey
;f = 1789772.5/(2*28*(N+1))
;(14318181/16/8)/(1024-(K+1)) = 1789772.5/(2*28*(N+1))
;14318181*(2*28*(N+1))/(16*8*1789772.5) = 1024-(K+1)
;14318181*2*28*(N+1)/(16*14318181) = 1024-(K+1)
;2*28*(N+1)/16 = 1024-K-1
;K+2*28*(N+1)/16 = 1024-1
;K+28*(N+1)/8 = 1023
;K = 1023-28*(N+1)/8
;noiseKmin = 595
;moiseKmax = 938
;K = 1023-28*(N+1)/8
;28*(N+1)/8 = 1023-K
;N = (1023-K)*8/28-1
PERIODMIN = ($3FF-595)*8/28-1 ;23
PERIODMAX = ($3FF-938)*8/28-1 ;121
FRE1LO = $FF0E
FRE2LO = $FF0F
FRE2HI = $FF10
NOISE = 1 << 6
V2SEL = 1 << 5
V1SEL = 1 << 4
VCTL = $FF11
CR1 = $FF12

AUDC3 and AUDC4 are voice control registers that controls distortion (hi nibble - %1x1x is pure tone, other ones are different types of noises) + volume (low niibble),
AUDF3 and AUDF4 are voice period control registers.
All calculations were done for NTSC base clock.
It sounds a bit different than on Atari of course, but I was surprised that there are only music from the first part of this game on the Commodore 264 machines.

Neat! What is the name of your demo? I couldn't figure out from the screen - doesn't appear to have a title. (I hope it's not Spy Vs Spy since that name is already taken  )

I knew I forgot about something
What title do you offer? I'll place it on the top of items list.
Maybe "Songs of the spies?"... ;-]

This is very interesting: first POKEY -> TED conversion ever!

I've updated archive, because in a result of being hurry there is a doubled line "Songs of Spies". I'm sorry.
Edit: Thanks @Csabo it looks that it's fail start :)

No worries, updated the PRG and the screenshot (the old one will be cached for a while but it will update).

Good.
But the first song is falling apart very soon.

@Verona I wasn't aware of existence of this guy Thanks. (Maybe it'd be better to say "I'm an Atarian"?)

Talking about the keys usage: why the undocumented Commodore Key, Control and Space have been involved too?

@Luca: I took this routine from my other project and used it partially.
