Il mio SID Player riproduce i brani SID con il SIDKick-pico

Ho voluto provare il SIDKick pico anche con il mio SID Player, tutto ok, funziona bene come mi aspettavo.

Il LED verde acceso subito sotto il Socket del SID indica che sta suonando il SIDKick.

Video:

SIDKick-Pico by Frenetic

SIDKick pico di Frenetic è un sostituto del chip SID per C64 basato su microcontrollore. Gli ingressi analogici per paddle e mouse sono disponibili proprio come per il SID originale.

SIDKick pico utilizza un firmware simile al suo “fratello maggiore” SIDKick. Tuttavia, la variante pico si basa sulla scheda Raspberry Pi Pico che utilizza il microcontrollore RP2040 che è molto più economico e ha una migliore disponibilità rispetto al Teensy utilizzato dal normale SIDKick.

Caratteristiche tecniche:

  • Doppia emulazione 6581 e/o 8580 basata su reSID 0.16 (opzionale: riproduzione delle digitalizzazioni audio).
  • Indirizzo 2° SID a $d400, $d420, $d500, $d420 + $d500 contemporaneamente, $de00, $df00 ($d500 non è disponibile sul C128) o qualsiasi indirizzo quando viene utilizzato un segnale di CS esterno (ad es. sulle schede Ultimate 64).
  • Supporto paddle/mouse.
  • Menu di configurazione integrato (avvio con “SYS 54301″/”SYS 54333″, anche dalla modalità C128).
  • Uscita audio tramite PWM (mono) tramite la scheda madre C64/C128 o in stereo utilizzando una scheda PCM5102A-DAC.
  • LED RGB lampeggiante (WS2812) su GPIO 23 (installato su alcuni cloni Pico)

La mia opinione personale:

La mia opinione personale da purista incallito e che nessuna emulazione o implementazione avra’ la resa sonora del SID nativo (6581/8580).

Posso accettare come una buona implementazione l’FPGASid e ARMSid dove gli sviluppatori hanno fatto veramente un buon lavoro.

Il SIDKick si difende bene ed e’ a basso costo, inoltre e’ Open Source, inoltre ha una simpatica caratteristica che ho trovato molto carina, ha il software di configurazione integrato che puo’ essere eseguito con un semplice SYS sia in modalita’ C64 che 128.

Dunque la mia opinione finale e che la maggior parte delle persone non notera’ mai nessuna differenza, ma vi assicuro che le differenze ci sono, dunque lo consiglio a tutti almenoche’ non siete puristi del SID.

Nota:

L’uscita audio e l’emulazione migliora se utilizzate la scheda aggiuntiva PCM5102A-DAC, nel mio test ho scelto di non utilizzarla perche’ volevo mostrarvi un plug’n'play senza troppi cavi, jack e patch. Forse era meglio includere questo modulo aggiuntivo direttamente sul PCB del SIDKick ? forse.

Il KIT e’ stato acquistato da restore-store.de, spedizione veloce e servizio impeccabile.

Kung Fu Flash Cartridge Aggiornamento Firmware v1.49

U64 (Elite)/U2/U2+/U2+L v3.11 (Core: v1.43) Aggiornamento Firmware

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’Ultimate-64 (U64/U64E) / U2/ U2+ / U2+L da Gideon.

Changes in 3.11, compared to 3.10i/j:

  • This version adds WiFi support for the Ultimate 64 and Ultimate 64 Elite. Please read the manual on how to set up the ESP32 module. https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/wifi.html
  • Assembly 64 integration. Many users use the offline version of the great Assembly 64 online database, by running Fredrik’s tool to copy the content into folders onto a USB stick. Now, the Ultimate is the first embedded ever system that integrates access to this online database! You can now simply download and play titles directly from the internet on your Ultimate device. Please read the manual about this here: https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/assembly.html
  • The Ultimate now supports a basic http daemon; also known as webserver. This allows some simple files to be served from the Ultimate. This server also implements a ReSTful API, which allows an external device to control the Ultimate with standard web URLs. Read up on the API here: https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/api_calls.html
  • JiffyDOS support for the built-in SoftwareIEC drive. This is a first step to make the internal drive more usable. More effort needs to be done to make the command set more compatible with CMD.
  • On the Ultimate 64 it is now possible to isolate the serial bus from the computer, which allows the Ultimate 64 to be used as external drives. Look for “Serial Bus Mode” in the “Ultimate 64 Specific Settings”.

Fixes:

  • Various small fixes, such as the telnet session closing upon mount, configuration of the cartrdiges that serve VIC data from external ROM, quite a few fixes in the emulated printer, configurable page margins, … and so on.

AVGCART (Atari SD multicart) v0029 aggiornamento Firmware

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’AVGCART (SD multicart for 8bit Atari) di tmp.

The AVGCART is a FPGA based multicart for 8bit Atari computers, extensible with SIO and/or ECI/PBI cables.

  • supports CAR (cartridge dump) files up to 1MB and most bankswitching types
  • supports XEX (executable) files
  • supports ATR (floppy image) files (read/write) – support is limited without an optional SIO or ECI/PBI cable due to Atari cartridge port constraints (e.g. SW that uses RAM under OS does not work)
  • supports ATX (protected floppy image) files (read-only, SIO cable required)
  • supports CAS (cassette) files (SIO cable required)
  • supports AVF (video) files
  • supports PDM (audio) files
  • fast file search, file shortcuts, randomizer and tons of other features
  • when used with optional ECI/PBI cable, it can expand ATARI memory to up to 576kB, it can also provide extra 48kB RAM to stock 16kB 600XL machines (some limitations apply)
  • firmware upgradeable via SD card (no additional hw needed)
  • SIDE2 emulation (compatible with U1MB and SpartaDOS X)
  • ability to stack emulated cart with emulated SpartaDOS X cart, together with SIDE2 emulated HDD
  • unlike some other products, most of the functionality is running inside the cart and not on the host machine’s CPU which makes it faster and more versatile (it can do stuff in parallel with host machine without having to gain 6502 control and doesn’t require soldering extra internal upgrades like Ultimate 1MB for some basic functionality like ATR emulation or memory expansion)
  • compatible with 600XL, 800XL/XE, 65XE, 130XE, XEGS (cartridge shell is too wide for 1200XL, bare pcb will fit, it is also too tall for 800, can be used with cartridge door opened and door switch triggered)

Changelog (v0029):

  • Added type 83 (SIC+ 1MB)
  • 1MB extmem support for ATR files (PBI/ECI)
  • Fix for X in stacked SDX (don’t disable IDE)
  • Some search fixes
  • XEX loader fix (Getris)
