ARM2SiD by Nobomi aggiornamento Firmware v3.7

E’ stato rilasciato da Nobomi un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’ARM2SiD.

News features and fixes in FW 3.7:

  • Compared to version 3.6, only marginal changes, added reading of OSC3 and ENV3 registers to the third SID emulation.
  • Simplified user interface for the update application.
  • Compared to version 3.5, a quick response in stereo mode was added (when using a second socket), the dual-mono mode is activated without timeout when both socket is addressed in the same time.
  • Also upper addresses mapping is fixed in the update (sometimes misaligned address detection in the update application).
  • Corrected bug in bootloader. If user tried an update with SFX only mode configured, the ARM2SID stuck in the bootloader and was not possible to update it on a user side. Factory update was needed. New updater disables the SFX mode, as well as patches the bootloader to prevent problems in a future.

The C64 Mini & Max. C’è a chi piace e a chi non piace

The C64 Mini & Max.

The C64 Mini & Max. C’è a chi piace e a chi non piace.

C’è a chi piace e a chi non piace diceva Totò nel film “Totò a colori“, personalmente a me fanno vomitare entrambi. Non ho altro da dire su questi due pessimi Oggetti che cercano di EMULARE il Commodore 64 e il VIC-20 e che dovrebbero ricordare gli anni 80.

Perche’ gli ho acquistati ? gli ho acquistati perche’ mi piace collezionare cose belle e cose brutte, cose inutili e cose ancora piu’ inutili.

Dunque non c’e’ un vero e proprio “perche’”, posso solo dire che non gli ho neanche provati, sono ancora confezionati e lo resteranno per sempre.

Passo e chiudo.
