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)

- “About” (“?”) extended to show some useful information about current state/config.
- Launching ROM files lets you choose cart type.
- Menu (“CAPS” key)
- Ability to choose bg/fg/border color.
- OS choice (PBI/ECI cable), use included rompack.rpk to flash OS slots.
- Most settings are now saved to a new config file so the old settings will be replaced with defaults.
- Some random bugs fixed, some random bugs added.

Changelog (v0027):
- When used on 16kB 600XL with EXTMEM enabled, it tries to expand it to 64kB base RAM (if enough cart ram is free)
- Changed key autorepeat delay/rate
- Some fixes related to EXTMEM
- EXTMEM tweak (not all SRAM chips are made equal)

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’AVGCART (SD multicart for 8bit Atari) di tmp.
Changelog (v0024):
- PDS/COV/COS files run PDSPLAY/COVPLAY/COSPLAY
- added ability to select (TAB) CAR files
- selected files (ATR, CAS, CAR) don’t have to be in the same directory anymore, selection is cleared only after returning to the selector
- ENTER on ATR/CAS/CAR file will replace the selection so SPACE was added to run with selected files, ignoring current file under cursor
- search now allows navigation during searching and editing search string
- CTRL-L disables item shortcuts and allows starting search by typing instead of ‘/’
- ESC stops search, exiting search requires 2x ESC (to prevent accidental exit when search stops at the same time user tries to stop it)
- disable cart was changed to SHIFT-ESC
- short filenames should finally (hopefully) have proper case
- filenames longer than screen width should be (finally) properly sorted
- type 57 (2kB) fixed
- right cart button will disable cart for carts <= 16kB (to make some CS turbo carts work)
New keys:
- SPACE – run selected files (ignores item under cursor)
- CTRL-L – toggle key shortcuts
Changed keys:
- ESC -> SHIFT-ESC (disable cart and reboot)
Changelog (v0023):
- [ECI] Auto-enable cart menu after reset (CTRL-SHIFT-E to enable, CTRL-E to disable)
- [ECI] Patched OS for ATR emulation is forced as ROM, not just loaded into RAM under ROM, increases compatibility
- [ECI+SIO] When emulating ATR, HSIO patched OS with inverted OPTION (BASIC off) is forced
Changelog (v0022):
- [ECI] EXTMEM support up to 512kB (CTRL-SHIFT-M to enable, CTRL-M to disable)

La UnoCart è una multi-cartridge con supporto ROM files su SD-Card per Atari 2600 a basso costo e open source con licenza GPL. La UnoCart Supporta ROM cartridge (files) fino a 64k e 32k di RAM con estensioni; BIN, ROM o A26.
Viene fornita con una custodia stampata in 3D e funziona su sistemi PAL e NTSC! La cartuccia puo’ essere utilizzata anche su Atari 7800 in modalita’ 2600, ma non eseguirà le ROM dell’Atari 7800.
La maggior parte dei giochi e demo, incluso Pitfall II, funzionano bene sul 99% delle consoles, cloni compresi. Il firmware è stato aggiornato, siamo alla versione 17 che e’ stata rilasciata a Settembre 2020 per garantire la massima compatibilità.
I giochi homebrew che sono stati rilasciati recentemente, come Galaga, The End e altri e che richiedono comandi DPC o DPC+ non funzioneranno … per il momento.
